ed once. They came to inspect it two weeks later and they said that they found NOTHING twice. I am pretty sure when you wake up to bugs beside you that I have something in my bed. After they sprayed it, I felt relieved but still felt uneasy. After 3 weeks after the initial spray, they came back. I am so frustrated and I don't recommand anyone living here! Look somewhere else!!

re right, they did spread from unit to unit for that is how I got mine, from the person below me. I will agree though, the superintendent was helpful and did all he could to help straighten it out. I believe he was even working to get his PCO, and he was very informative in the process.

I find it highly unfair that they did not warn the neighbouring units to mine, or at least signal that they were going to do an inspection (from what I hear, that is what one should do should one apartment unit be infested and precautionary treat the units directly beside/below/above the infected one.

I'm grateful for this site if it helps others at least be aware as they shop around, regardless of it being an apartment, condo, or even a hotel room.

e landlord did not tell me at the time that my neighbour was infested with bugs and that I was at risk. I seriously doubt they told the people who moved in after me. To their detriment, they didn't bother to ask me.

To the landlord's credit though, they were fairly prompt and vigilante about treating the problem. From the other posts on this site (1525, 1535, 1545) I guessed they had learned their lesson. They set up detectors and checked them every week or two. They came up positive, meaning the bugs were gone.

They sprayed my baseboards with pesticides and put "dust" in the electrical outlets. They only did that once, but it smelled bad for days, and no doubt contributed to the tumor I'll eventually develop.

I found that isolating yourself from your stuff was good preventive measure. The less places bugs have to hide, the less likely they are to nest next to you. I spent the last two months in this apartment sleeping on a glass topped coffee table (glass is hard for bugs to climb) in the middle of the living room, vacuuming and doing laundry twice a week, which sucks!

I didn't find any evidence of bugs (bites, blood spots on sheets, dead bodies, etc.) for the last month I was there which is the good news of this story. To date I have not found evidence they have moved with me.

If I find them again though I plan on doing similar things. Separate your bed from the rest of your things; give them less places to hide. Vacuum, do laundry and clean twice a week. Remember they are just bugs, you are smarter than them.

Good luck to anybody living in 1535 through, you have my sympathies.

to purchase new furniture until we move out, out of fear they will reappear. Not exactly the best way to live
:( I will say that the office acted quickly to solve the problem, nonetheless I definitely don't recommend living here.

small and having gotten rid of the bed seems to have helped... but a month later and I'm waking up to marks again... they are coming to inspect on Tuesday, but if I don't find a specimen, I fear that they won't spray the place down... I even offered to pay it out of my pocket just to have them spray regardless.

When inquiring about who else had an infestation in the past year... the response was "no one"; however, the tenant directly below me got in touch with me to advise me that they had an infestation earlier in the year and that they got it from the unit below them... Pest control denied it saying the person was a little loopy, but I think I believe the person who contacted me...

I have done all the preparation and still living in that way, vacuuming twice a week, and even caulked everywhere where baseboard meets floor... but noticed in one of the closets that the hard wood laminate wasn't warnished in one spot and the cracks are rather large... might caulk that too as a temporary means...

All I know is that I'm living in airtight bins and ziplock bags and I'm looking to move out and hopefully will not bring the pests with me.

it on the carpets, then loading it into the elevators where everyone else travels...thanks!

tress.

The problem with the apartments owned by Paramount is they do not leave one-month gap between the old tenant moving out and the new one moving in. It is always a back-to-back move. Especially, they do not wash the carpet with shampoo, and they do wax hard-wood floor if you do not complain.

So if you do not want to see bed bugs, please do not come to this building.
