Eight and nine days after our first bed bug treatment I got a bunch of new bites. Could these be eggs that have hatched? The PCO that did the extermination only sprays chemicals and does not do any other type of treatment. I wanted to go with someone else who uses steam and residuals but the landlord wanted to use his own guys. I did not have a good feeling about this, but here we are.

Here's a short timeline:

April 24, first bites
May 3rd, second round of bites
May 5th, Canine inspection, positive result, but no visual confirmation
May 9th, KillerQueen comes to our apartment, makes a judgement call based on bites and says we have bedbugs. (There is a previous thread in the forums on this.)
May 17th, PCO (not KillerQueen, but our Landlord's Guy) sprays pesticides
May 25th, new bites
May 26th, more bites

Does this sound like a normal pattern for a bed bug infestation? I went from May 3rd - 25th without any bites. There has been no visual confirmation yet of bedbugs and no fecal signs. After spraying I had no bites. But eight and nine days later, something is biting me again.

The second chemical treatment is scheduled for the 31st of May. This PCO does four treatments in two-week intervals. I'm really worried this isn't getting the job done. I really want to work with someone who will steam treat as well as lay down residuals. The landlord is paying for the PCO. Would it make sense to bring someone else in at my own expense?

Help us by posting a link to the thread...or maybe, post now onto that thread if it's really the same topic, rather than starting a new thread.

The original thread is here, and I recommend continuing discussion there to help everyone keep track of the details.
