Chasing down infestations in a multiple occupancy building can be a little like playing “Whack-a-Mole” at Chuck E Cheese. The bed bugs seem to just keep popping up in new units.

I wonder how long they will remain bed bug free?

Bed bugs are hard to treat with topical applications. I don’t think any PCO would claim otherwise.

I suspect the problem may also have been treating all infested units– it is possible undetected infestations were blossoming and spreading, while detected ones were being controlled to some degree. This is the message I get from lots of the news stories about large apartment buildings.

I really applaud this hotel for doing this, on such a massive level, after only a few months of spraying. I think that’s quite unusual, sadly.

Of course, we also don’t know how many units were initially infested or for how long before initial treatments started.

Here is a business, treating bedbugs as a deductible business expense to make sure their hotel doesn’t lose money, and apparently treating the problem in a professional manner with advice from a PCO firm, yet AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS they “had no acceptable control from topical applications”???

These are professionals doing this and they can’t treat with topical applications. No wonder we can’t control bedbugs in our little apartments and our little tight budgets.
