Last August after the heat wave i found a dead bed bug (in a spiders web) and called my landlady then spoke to the owner of the building. When I first contacted my landlord he told me the dead one was probably left from 2 years before (even though i mentioned i cleaned 2 times a week that included vacuuming). He mentioned bedbug covers for my bed (which i believe he said he would provide but didn't and even asked for my bed size) and to notify him if i see anything else. A month after that a nei
ghbor said he found some and then action was taken within a week.
The problem....there were signs (feces) of bed bugs in the curtain rods (wood), the sink, bathroom and closet (it was a bachelor apt). Apparently they had dealt with bedbugs in that unit 2 years before. This was all there before i arrived but i thought it was from cockroaches so i didn't press it ( i didn't know there was a problem with bedbugs in the place until contacting the owner about the dead one). The floors are also the colour that bedbugs and cockroaches are so i didn't realize that i had them even after a few bites which i thought were mosquito bites (they lasted 3-4 weeks and were extremely itchy).
They hired a company which told me to do all the usual things to prep for bedbug extermination. I followed closely (some of the tenants didn't). they also only did 4 of 5 of the apt on my floor (one of them was for rats i think) and the other wasn't touched. I spent HOURS prepping. They did only a 5 min spray and left. Used no diatamacious earth (even though i called the company and they said that they did), just pesticide as the room was to small. They also said there was no need to spray the kitchen as they dont go near food...even though it was about a meter from my bed and the signs of bedbugs were there.
The pest-guy said he couldn't find any bedbugs or signs of them, even though i had shown him the curtains rods and he verified them as belonging to bed bug droppings.
There was NO respraying!
I moved a month or 2 later and but before i did i started to get bit again.
I also left all my furniture behind.
I moved and have been bed bug free. However my Ps3 which i gave to a friend apparently had a dead bed bug in it (its been sealed since the last apt). She plugged it in while in the plastic bin, and noticed it after that.
Its been 5-6 months now and I haven't seen any or their signs...but the worry is always there.
