d been bit, so apparently they moved to the living room as well. The exterminator came again and repeated the same haphazard spraying. A few days later I was still being bitten, so I decided to sleep on the couch. Then I woke up in the middle of the night to see a bedbug on my leg. This was two nights ago. My roommates still have not had problems in their rooms, but we don't want to wait around until they do. Our landlord has been totally lax about dealing with the problem, the exterminator has been pretty much incompetent and our lives are currently a nightmare. We're actively looking into breaking our lease and moving out.

matter, then I didn't have them.
Fast forward to July 2009 and I have a full blown infestation. We waited until then to do anything about it. Huge mistake. I was getting bit all over, and so was my boyfriend whenever he stayed over. I would lift up my bed and see bugs. I would feel them crawling on me at night. Etc...
My roommate never once got bit or saw one. Our apartment is TINY.
Since then we've washed all of our clothes, dry cleaned, washed the apartment, had an exterminator come 4 or 5 times. Kept everything in garbage bags. I got a new bed with encasements.
Now it is October, and since I put the legs of my metal bed frame in cups of oil, and made sure it is not touching the wall, I have not been bitten. However I have recently found dead (seemingly - they can be dormant for 6 months or something??) ones in my dresser, and eggs in my bed/on my body.
