I moved in 2 months ago (July 1st). About a month after I thought I got poison ivy. It was on my hand then was spreading to my legs and stomach (I thought it was in my blood system). Not severe but a few itchy bumps would appear every to every other morning. One of my roommates was getting a lot of "mosquito bites" all over her arms. About 3 weeks later (August 24th) my other roommate found a bed bug crawling on her sheets. Knowing this, that night I woke up at 4am, turned on my light, checked m
y sheets, flipped over my pillow case and found a blood-filled bed bug under my pillow. I freaked out, killed it, stripped my bed, washed my sheets with hot water, bought 2 mattress covers (one for the mattress and one for the box spring), caulked the floor boards and any holes around my room, vacuumed, and barricaded my bed with tap (sticky side exposed to catch any hungry critters.) I also taped it so I can see which side of my bed they're coming from. I've washed and dried all of my clothes and bags. I bought spray today at Target and have been spraying around my room a bit. It's been nearly a week and neither I nor my roommate have visually seen any, none have stuck to the tape, my "poison ivy" has disappeared, and my roommate hasn't received any new bites. We're having an inspector come tomorrow. I think we've caught it early enough to get rid of these guys but I still want to report it for others around. We need to get these blood thirsty buggers before they take over DC!
