I live on the 16th floor and got bed bugs in my apt for at least last one year. We have got chemical treatment and steaming done more than 6 six times but the bugs always come back.

It seems like they have their living space somewhere in the small openings where the baseboard meets the floor.

It is really hard to get rid of them.

Since the summer of 2011, does anyone on the ground floor of 77 Howard have bedbugs?

I am fleeing a place with drug dealers, mice and the now occasional roach--trying to avoid going from the frying pan into the fire.

Thank you to everyone that responds.

Use of d.e. has been shown to potentially cause silicosis of the lungs, so use with care! Especially if you have pets.

Just curious if you guys have tried Diatomaceous Earth?

I live in the building and although I don't think any have been in the apartment yet I do worry about them a lot so I spread out diatomaceous earth all over my bedroom where I think they could go.

Just do a web search for it and you will find numerous links about it

Also, did the pest control people you have talked to mention anything about it or use it? It's a really fine dust and any contact with the bugs will dry out and die

we live on the 5th floor and also have bed bugs. we've been relatively lucky it seems... just a few bites and no problems with having someone in to spray right away, although the work invloved in having someone in was quite exhausting. we had to package up all of our belongings, empty out all of our drawers and closets and move all of the furniture to the center of each room so the baseboards were exposed. it was a LOT of work, but hopefully worth it as we've only had a few bites so far. however

Bitten and Bitter Part Two on 10/07/2010

Since you loved the original so much, here's part two!

For the third time in the last two months, my unit has had beg bugs. The second spraying only kept them away for two weeks. I even sealed the baseboards, my room mate and i both wrapped our mattresses, but the little bastards just keep on coming.

When I went to the land lord to talk about getting out of the lease early, they began to give me the run around. But now this apartment is inhabitable, so what do they expect? To just keep co

I stay on 16th floor and I have bedbugs in my apartment foe the last 2 months. They are a real pain for me, they have bitten me all around and have caused infections on my skin.

I told the property manager about it and they told me that treatment can be done only on Wednesday.

it is very hard for me to be at home on a Wednesday and emptying the house for treatment is also very difficult as the ENTIRE apartment has to be emptied out.

July 18, 2010.

I reside at 77 Howard Street and live on the 11th Floor. I returned from a two week vacation to find bed bugs and was shocked as I had not been home for weeks, nor had my room mate for months. I brought it to the attention of the super, and his attitude was passive at best. He accused me of bringing them into my apartment, which I protested having earlier stated that my room mate and I had not been home for quite some time, and therefore they must be in the building.
