Not Treated Fairly - Very unhappy on 04/26/2010
Bugs found in mid April 2010 - although I suspected they had been there for a few months. Thankfully not a large infestation, a few spots on the bed and physically killed 4 bugs, but who knows what lies inside the matress.
For a few weeks I never saw any evidence of them, but I had been biten. I had few bits on my arms; that itched terribly; and because I hadn't seen any bugs when I checked the bed then I thought it was something else that caused the terrible itching.
When I found the bu
gs, I waited for my landlady to come home (she lives in the apt), when I told her about it, she was shocked and becasue of a language barrier we could not say much. I communicated to her through her sister. The sister blamed me for the bugs, and said it's not a big deal and that we can get some incesticide to put down and promised that the bed would be cleaned. My landlady gave me the incesticide to put down and some that sprays on the bed. I did this and then I could not sleep in the room; as the smell was overwhelming. And because of the power I had to put down around the room I had to ask my land lady to sleep on her couch. I was told the treminator was coming to treat the room on Friday (one week after the bugs were found), I spent the entire night Thursdays aranging my room for the treatment and then only to find out when i came home from work Friday night that the exterminatior didnt come and they dont know when he's coming. I am not happy and I feel like I am being jerked around.
I now have to sleep on the couch in the living room where I have no privacy
I have never been so upset in and frustrated in my life. I am sleep deprived because I have no place I am comfortable.
I am being patient but if this isn't seeing a resolution I am going to start making the calls to get this taken care of.

Bugs were first found in mid-June 2008 by myself in apt. 3C in the smallest bed room. I had never heard of real bed bugs before moving to New York. The renters blamed me for the situation and refused to tell the landlord about the bed bugs. Needless to say I ended up having to fork over money for the extermination even though NYC law says landlords are to pay for them. We have had two treatments and I am unsure if there are bed bugs left. I don't see any but mind you I didn't see any until there
was a small infestation. The exterminator said we had to of had them for at least a few months for that many adults to have grown. I don't react to bites so that was why it got so bad. Luckily I am moving out but hope that I don't take any of these pests with me.
