on the surface, this is a great apartment for the price. but wait, there's a catch

we learned there has been a BB problem for 3+ years, likely due to apts down below that have never been treated, or colonies living in the walls. exterminators came to this conclusion when they saw BBs kept appearing in empty closets outside the bedroom despite the 8+ treatments.

Update:
Landlord paid for 3 sprays, 1x week for three weeks. So far so good but we are still waiting a few weeks to make sure they are gone before unpacking. Like previous tenants they suspect they came from another apt in the building. It has already been a month and we are just hoping they are gone.
