I found them last year in the box spring and
in the bed, I had a company come in several
times during the year. It seens that the building
is infected and their several people that will
not allow the use of pest control.
Sealing all open spaces in the floor and above the windows is a good start.
A very bad place to because the management
company does not care, the building is dirty
and if one calls the management company
their very nasty.

I found my first bug in December 2008. I didn't know it was a bed bug - I thought it was a funky roach. So I put it in a ziplock bag to show the exterminator when he came to the building for his monthly inspection.
When he told me it was a bed bug, I completely freaked out. He then checked my bed and after he inspected everything, he told me that I did not have an infestation - I had visitors. Someone else in the building had bed bugs and wasn't taking care of it so they were multiplying
and spreading.
I took the necessary steps to get rid of these things - I had the three treatments by the exterminating company, I vacuum every weekend, wash everything in hot water and spray my apartment and I am still having this problem.
It has been concluded that since I am finding the bugs on the floor, that they are in fact coming from someone else. Unless everyone in the building gets inspected and then treated if necessary, I will continue to have this problem.
Upon hearing this, I did 2 things: 1. I wrote a letter to my landlord asking that she speak to the management company and have them "encourage" the tenants to have their apartments inspected. It doesn't cost anything extra - it's a service that the building provides and 2. called 311 and found out that the city can't (or won't) make people get inspected or treated for this epidemic.
So I'm on my own
