The growing bedbug nightmare

By Arborway on Thu, 01/03/2008 - 1:15pm.

While I'm appreciative of Jury's and others taking such steps, I think lawsuits are the only thing that will bring some hotel management firms and apartment landlords into line.

From what I've read, the most common reaction to bedbugs is denial, followed by more denial, and eventually maybe one room gets sprayed once or twice. It can take six to eight treatments to actually get rid of them, and they love to migrate to other rooms/apartments from where they will re-infest the original source of the problem.

And being able to go 18 months without a meal? Come on mother nature, that's just cold.

i had bedbugs at one of my

i had bedbugs at one of my previous apartments. found out from the previous tenants that they were always wondering why they had itchy bites all the time.

anyways we informed our landlord/management company who was kind enough to send over an exterminator, a week later we were still getting them. on his 4th visit in a month and a half the exterminator told us that the best way to get rid of them was to trash all the furniture, dry clean all the clothes and do at least a weekend of treatment on the entire apartment when they would be able to get into all the cracks and other places bedbugs hide. otherwise he'd keep on coming back.

we relayed this to the management company and asked them to supply new furniture. they said we could break the lease if we wanted, but that was all they were willing to do.

unfortunately it was almost a year later when we heard that we could've sued them to get them to replace everything of ours. and i know they rented the place right off the bat once we left.

One way to get rid of any number of pests: freeze the little buggers!

That's right, put that couch out on the patio/porch and let it get reeeealy cold! If you have a house, have somebody winterize it (fill pipes with anti-freeze), shut down the heat like a good mortgage company,and leave for a few days.
