Neill wycik.......
if you are planning to go here....DON'T!!!!! We are here now for 2,5 weeks. After 1 week my roommate had bites alll over her body, so the whole unit, (4 rooms) including the other units on the 10TH floor were being fumigated. Which means: pack all your stuff, was them and put them in the dryer, and ALL your other stuff -that can't be washed, think of personal belongings- needs to be frozen (in the freezer!!) so the bedbugs would freeze to death. 1 day later we heard that the other floors 9 and 10 also had bedbugs.

So after we all did that we thought we got rid of them. NOT!! 1 week later 1 of my roommates found another bedbug on his desk, so now the whole unit will be fumigated again. It's HELLLLLL!!!

Anyone with experience taking the issue of bed bugs to the Landlord Tenant Board please contact renep@live.ca asap. We have a hearing scheduled regarding a nearby buidling soon!

Problem is building-wide. Not all units at the same time but there are no safe floors. If you are able to change your reservation to another venue I would recommend considering it. If not, don't bring anything you aren't very willing to throw away upon departure, lest transporting the pests with you.

What floor and what unit did you stay in?

A couple of friends and I will be staying in this building for the coming weekend, I want to be sure not to stay in the same unit that you have experienced the bedbugs in.

Thank you.

My boyfriend and I spent two awful nights here last week August 6th and 7th on the 8th floor. After the first night I had two bites. I suspected bedbugs but didn't want to freak out but then I checked the mattress and saw the bedbugs among other bugs/dirt/gross things of undetermined origin.

We took every article of clothing and bagged it and put it in a HOT dryer so hopefully the bed bugs won't follow but you never know with these blood suckers.

Bottom line: do not stay here as a hostel- do not live here as an apartment renter. I am sure as soon as one room is sprayed they simply move to the next- They have a sweet buffet going on here. Not one room/apartment is safe in this building.

i lived at wysik for 2 years in the same unit, which was on the 4th floor, from 2006-2008. First year i had no problems tho a few units on the floor had gotton bed bugs. The second year when i moved back in to the same unit but different room i started experiencing bites. The place was fumigated but the bites still continued. I used to sleep on top of my covers and fully clothed. It was horrible, I got maintenance to take out that wooden bed, where bed bugs live!!!! It was fumagated a second time. The mental framed bed treated me well and the bites stopped....

the guy below is posting from the future. pretty sweet.

anyhow, i lived here the summer of 2004 on the 20th floor & never had a bed bugs problem-- just a nice family of mice running a muck for a few months. no property damage, just a little freaky to see one out of the corner of your eye while you\'re watching tv.

15F was the home for my son at Neill Wysik, in Sept. 2008. The whole place had been fumagated when his roommate complained of bites in early Sept.2008. Would you not fumagate before the kids moved in? Situation just got worse and worse. His roommate had welts. No wonder they charge such cheap rent. My biggest beef is that they did not act quick enough. And, should they not be made responsible for warning people of the situation there? I feel so sorry for these young people that can't afford to move. Needless to say, my son moved out in Dec. to a more expensive apartment but I don't care, its worth putting out the extra bucks. Just an FYI, you can legally ask a renting landlord if he has had bedbug history and he legally has to tell you the truth.

I used to live at Neil Wycik when I was a student a few years ago.

How bad has the current bed bug situation spread within Neil Wycik? Doesn't the building staff/ maintenance staff suppose to look after the situation and make sure it doesn't spread from units to units?
