om the pet shop below. .. Went to the dermatologist and they said... i needed to get an exterminator in. The exterminator came in and checked but could not find any bugs. day after day i kept on getting more and more bites. they would last for about a week and a half each bite. I still have scars of the 'breakfast lunch and dinner' that I scratched. The exterminator finally found one baby and one adult bedbug the 2nd time. Not an infestation. but a few was enough! Luckily it doesnt seem to have spread to the other tenants but we had the house sprayed, steamed and caulked. but at the end of it..with no sleep, paranoia, constant washing of laundry and throwing away all my furniture. I found out later that the tenant before had bed bugs too but after the extermination none of the holes were caulked alongside the walls. and with vintage hardwood floors... they can always sleep for a year before coming back....
someone was crazy enough to move in after me with the knowledge of bed bugs.. Worst ever experience in the world...
