Itchy in Indiana on 01/15/2009
I moved into this apartment and from the looks of things everything looked great. Hardwood floors and clean everywhere... then a few weeks later I started getting these bites all over my body.. my boyfriend wasnt getting them all the time but I was being eatten up almost on a daily basis it seemed like.... day by day new ones would pop up. At first I thought that they were fleas. Then I saw one. At first glance I thought that it was a tick. So i got one and put it in tape. I looked it up on the
computer and found that indeed it was bedbugs.
I wouldnt get bites for weeks at a time so I thought that I had solved the problem by spraying for fleas and what not. This did not work however because weeks later I got more. I then requested an exterminator because I had heard from a neightbor that the basement was infested with bugs.
The landlord assured me that the exterminator would relieve the fleas and spiders and things.
I was releived... only to find out that after being told to vacate my apartment for and entire day so it could be sprayed.... the maintenace man sent the man away!!! He told me that he would return at a later date but he didnt bring enough stuff with him...
I keep spraying flea control stuff... but its not seeming to do any good. I feel like maybe the cold has kept them at bay for the time being but I dont want anyone else to have this problem...
I had been planning on moving anyway, but now am afraid that I will take them with me if I take any of my furniture!! ??? What am I legally able to do about this?? I have never had this problem until I moved here... does anyone know??
