I contacted our Super and spoke to his wife on 8/18/2010 after killing a bed bug on my dresser. She said that she would put us down to have the terminator come because there were other apartments in our building being treated. I was shocked that they did not inform the rest of us tenants that there were bed bugs in the building or that we should get our apartments inspected! Bed bugs travel through that walls, cracks, elevator etc and I felt it was very irresponsible. She said that she would giv

e me a list of things that my roommates and I had to do before the exterminator came. I asked her the name of the exterminator and she was not sure. So I asked for the number of our building management and I called I asked if they would pay for having a reputable extermination company come and treat our apartment. The woman I spoke to informed me that they do not pay for other exterminators because they have their own that they use for all of their buildings. She took down my name and number and told me that Mike the exterminator would contact me to set up an appointment. She explained that we had to follow the list of instructions of what to do before the exterminator comes to the T and that the exterminator would come twice. When I asked the name of the company she told me they used Pestime. While I am glad they are taking action, I could not find this company on the Better Business Bureau website nor could I find any reviews, license information, address or anything else about this company anywhere online. I am hoping that they do a thorough job and that they seal up all cracks, spray into the walls etc. If they do not then I think I will demand that they have a licensed company come in and do the work and then substract it from our rent. We will see how this goes.

I am currently going through this nightmare in my unit. We only saw bedbugs in my roommate's room, but very sensibly asked the exterminators to treat the full apartment. They refused because they didn't see any other bedbugs. They didn't exactly do a thorough search, just a two second check of my mattress only. They told me that since I didn't have any bedbug bites, they wouldn't have to treat any other rooms in the apartment. I know full well that my roommate could've carried them out to th

e living room when he started sleeping out there instead (I don't blame him), but they still refused to treat it. They said we hadn't properly prepared for the inspection, but we weren't even informed of the day they would be coming to the building. Lucky we were even there! I begged them to treat the couch too - I will have them come back in a couple of weeks to follow up, and hopefully by some miracle this extreme under-treatment will work.

where do i start? we were told by someone in the building there may be begbugs in our side of the building. this was late february(exact date unknown), so we were on alert. Shortly after that everyone in my family were bitten once. We were advised that it was nothing to be concerned about and the regular exterminator would take a look. Next thing we know we find a bed bug in our bed that had just bitten one of us! We called it in. We were told that we didn't know for sure it was bedbugs, but th

ey sent an exterminator for precautionary measures. As it turns out the exterminators are treating an apartment that is one other apartment away from us in the building. We were advised not to tell anyone else in the building even though there is an apartment sandwiched between two places that have been treated for bedbugs. We washed all our clothes, the cost of which is recognized to be our responsibility. We were even accused of 'just wanting money for our laundry' when we said we were taking this precautionary measure. We are keeping all our clothes in bags until the exterminator returns and haven't seen any signs of bed bugs since their visit. We are hopeful. I wish the whole building was treated for the apartment instead of just where the problem becomes visible because from what we understand bedbugs are capable of traveling through walls and can live for up to a year without biting anyone. I would recommend looking for apartments in smaller buildings with a landlord who has a good understanding of the nature of a bedbug problem and doesn't tell you that you are lying when you simply have the best interests of the whole building at heart.

In Augest Of this year 2008 I was told that I should have my apartment treated for bedbugs. The exterminatior called and said that the Landlord said I called and told them that I had it. I told him that was not true. It must be a mistake because i did not call. I was told later on that week that I should get my unit treated because people in my line have all had bed bugs. I said no thanks because I'll have to go throw a lot to get treated and pack everything up and besides I donot have bed bugs.

In oct I saw one crawling. Im deaverstated now. I called the landlord thay sent the exterminator to get rid of them. I thought that was it . Thay told me to wait 2 weeks befor unpacking and wash every thing . I washed just what I thought my family and I need and put them back in a bag we were living out of a bag. I went to use the bathroom on the 14th day and there a bedbug crawling like nothing happend.Im sick all over again i was told that I didnt Have it bad. I called for another treatment.
