Management states that the problem is caused by the tenants themselves, they bring the bugs with them when they move in. They are lax in resolving the problem and this has been going on since 2001.
I guess it's a good way to clear the apartment so new tenants can move in a pay triple what the apartment is really worth.

I have been fighting bed bugs since February of 2010. The next door neighbor moved out 18 months ago, after fighting an infestation in her apartment. She threw way everything. The apartment was vacant for 13 months. Three (3) weeks after the new neighbors moved in, I started to get bit. It is now June, and after exterminations, and one final inspection, I'm hoping things are under control. Bed Bugs can live up to 13

I lived in the building from April - Sept 08 and my apartment became infested with bedbugs. Management has still not treated the entire building. Neighbors were not interested in discussing situation, so I have no idea what other units are infested.

I live in this building as well. The problem is the exterminator and the owner\'s unwillingness to admit that this is a building problem and must be dealt with as such. There also seems to be a few reluctant tenants in the buildings who do not want to admit the problem because of the stigma attached to bed bugs.

The exterminator actually said, \"it\'s impossible for the bugs to travel up pipes or through walls\" even after my husband and I both noted that we saw them coming up from pipes

We heard that there were bed bugs reported in the apartment below, but didn't think anything about it. Even when I started waking up with bites, I didn't think they were bed bugs. Especially because my boyfriend wasn't getting bit and it looked like mosquito
bites. I had seen pictures and it didn't look like the small bites I had seen. But then I kept getting bit and I started to do some more research about it on the internet. At last, we admitted that bed bugs might be the culprit. We called

The problem has been spreading from apartment to apartment but the management keeps denying it is an apartment wide problem.
