h something itching on my hand, and looked down. Sure enough, a bedbug. We turned the bed-frame over to see if there were others, and there were – at least 2 which were dead and one which was very much alive.

We've cleaned, vacuumed and sprayed with an over the counter solution. We'll let the building managers know on Monday, but I know they won't do anything.

In any case, if you see this DO NOT RENT HERE. The bedbugs are just the tip of the iceberg with the problems you'll have with the building . . .

zippered mattress cover, so that the bedbugs can't get into the mattress". Apparently, the landlords have been providing such mattress covers to other tenants.

The manager said that there hadn't been any other infestations since November 2009 (when they bought the building), and that they didn't know of any prior to that date.

I am totally distraught, and don't want to move in to this unit-- I would not have begun to paint or move things in (or even CONSIDERED signing a lease) if I had known that they were dealing with a bedbg infestation and were 1/3 of the way through extermination. I totally wasted the past weekend by working on this unit when I could have been finding a unit in a non-infested building!
