		<description>Hi
All

Why the pest control company sparayed nine times if the apartment was not prepared for their standard. Spraying a places nine time than excuse of clients poor prep and clutter; absolutely unacceptable.

Pest control company should learn something from this episode

		<description>Dave,

Interesting rule regarding the furniture in your building. The building next door employed this piecemeal technique last year. I blame our problem on their inability to solve theirs.</description>

		<description>This is exactly what it took to clear out our building. The landlord had everyone pitch in $200 and they brought in a truckload of kits. 

Each unit had to get checked by the maintenence guys and they sealed up cracks and stuff. They also had us flip everything up to look under in the cracks of furnature. Then after they were done we got our kit. It was dead bed bugs brand.

The kit had a book with pictures and it was easy to see where to look and spray. It had a steamer in it and some spray and the dust stuff. My kids got into it. I think everybodty just felt better not having to worry so much about getting bitten at night.

The problem before was just what the article said. If you don't do everybody, you are not doing anything. They also made a rule now we can't bring in furnature unless maintenence checks it first.

		<description>Anne - We had Bedbugs at my house about 3 yrs ago, and we all were getting bitten but only me and my younger brother would show signs of it. Most people to react to begbug bites, some of us just have more sensitive skin. I do recommend though, that you try to convince your family to call EXPERIENCED exterminators asap - its only going to get worse, and you all do not want to see the effects of a heavy infestation - you will never recover from that psycologically, trust me...


Bugged Out - Sounds like what i did when I went through the infestation years ago, I would sleep on the couch in the living room but it was only a matter of time until the Bedbugs moved there too and infested the couch. They're stealthy so they can be hard to find, as a recommended to anne, make sure your getting companies who are experienced. They know enough that they won't just look in the most obvious places. They're called bedbugs, but they can honestly hide anywhere - underneath carpet, cracks in the walls - I'm not saying this to frighten you, I just want you to be informed.</description>

		<description>Thanks for your answers Nobugs. I've now entered the waiting and hoping phase, and I will continue posting on the forums. Just one postscript on registering hotels. "The Bedbug Registry" is U.S. only, my incident was in a hotel in London, UK. I tried to register it on "BedBugCity" (from an Internet café - I'm so brave) but whatever I filled in I got the error "not all required fields filled". I double-checked and as far as I could see really had filled everything, tried various data layouts in case it didn't like street numbers or postcodes, etc., but I couldn't get it to work. May have been a problem in the café's installation of course.</description>

		<description>i've been having bedbugs for a couple of days now. not only its affecting my school work, my mood, not being able to sleep at all..my room is just not like my room anymore. everytime i walk into it i think of those disgusting creatures that are hiding everywhere and drink my blood at night. everymorning i wish it was just a bad dream..but no. the bites appear everyday. im starting to suspect that they're all over my clothes now too.

im so overwhelmed i feel like my life is RUINED. this whole situation is just so stupid yet it really does  make me miserable everyday(especially at school considering the tiny little hours of sleep i get) 

im so glad i found this place and to know that there are other people experiencing the same thing as me.

with that said, is it common or not that other members of the family don't get bites? i'm the only one getting them and therefore i cant really convince them to take big actions on it. 

are there anything that i could do without using too much money??</description>

		<description>I am on the "middle" of treatment for the critters here in Atlantic City apt. building. I feel I've had much success so far.I started by locating the main infestation(hopefully) in my boxspring and disposing of it. I still had 6 days till the exterminator, but I tried treating them myself with 91% rubbing alcohol. the alcohol kills the live bugs on contact.(I saw it happen!)I went on a spraying spree (about a case of alcohol and a spray bottle) and I feel quite relieved. so far the coast is clear. tomorrow I will repeat this procedure, and each week for 2 more weeks.when the bug guys came, they seemed impressed by my efforts and saw no current activity in my unit.they will be back in 2 weeks. I cannot stress how important spraying with all that alcohol and seeing the carnage I have caused to them myself has relieved most of my stress about these BB's.I sleep comfortably now. There really is no noticable activity.If for whatever reason I feel a little buggy, I break out the spray bottle and get busy spraying the furniture, floors, clothes, beds, whatever. let it air dry,(it evaporates), then vaccuum.It really does work, and it gives you some control!</description>

		<description>Mica,

Residential homes are very much at risk.  I would recommend getting an experienced PCO in to inspect.  If a reputable bed bug dog is in your vicinity, this is also an option.

Even if the workplace is found not to harbor bed bugs (or fleas), the PCO will be able to recommend steps for staff and residents to avoid them.</description>

		<description>True-- though it's also true that PCOs are treating high-end clients for this problem, and plenty of people in-between.  

The difference is, the rich and upper middle class will not have articles written about them if they can help it.</description>
