I have been dealing with a bed bug infestation since May 2008. I have been had allergic reactions to the bites, which are ALL OVER MY BODY. My landlord is currently working with me to try and get rid of the problem, however he hasn't notified the neighboring apartment units or inspected them or treated them.

After all of my research about infestations, I am certain that although we are washing our clothes and linens, bought a zippered bed-bug proof mattress protector and box spring protector, have been vacuuming and cleaning CONSTANTLY,- unfortunately since our nieghbors aren't vigilanty doing the same we will never get rid of them.

I am considering breaking my lease and possibly notifying the board of health. I would like to look into whether or not any other complaints were made against this building and landlord.
