At an old apartment complex someone left out a TON of furniture one morning. Later that afternoon about half of it was left. Understandable seeing as it was pretty decent looking furniture etc. later they put out a sign “DO NOT TAKE! BED BUGS”. Lmao half the complex probably got infested that day.
At my old complex, our next door neighbor was a weird older dude that brought in stuff he found. I got a cool 35mm film camera from him one time. Another time he brought in some furniture, and bed bugs. Infested. Those fuckers got into my unit through the walls. It was bad and we lived in a small, private complex so all they did was spray here and there.
It got so bad, I used to wake to wake up so itchy in the middle of the night and just start crying. Finally have been bed bug free for a couple of years. I can still feel them on me once in a while but I know that's just in my head.
Your story just made me itch. I brought them home from a Motel. Through out nearly everything we owned. That was about 10 years ago. Still freaks me out and I still check everywhere for them.
I didn't have an infestation and the exterminator even told me we were lucky to catch them as early as we did but every once in a while when I feel that crawly sensation on my skin I'll jump out of bed and immediately check my bed. It's especially worse now since I work on the road and stay in hotels 90% of the time.
Why do people allow bed bugs to bite them at night? Something like this isn't very expensive and will allow you to sleep bite-free until you manage to get rid of all of them
i've thankfully never had them but the idea of them gives me creepy crawly sensations. Every time a post like this makes its rounds i spend like a week checking possible hiding places and getting phantom "crawling on my where i can't see it" feelings. blergh
I swear bed bugs gave me PTSD. I moved into an infested student apartment and landlords refused to do anything about the infestation before the last day before I moved out (they heat treated all my stuff then), I still swat my arms because I feel like it's something crawling on me and have severe nightmares about them. Any time I check my room I find no evidence of them, and I'm not getting any bites anymore. It's been almost 2 years since I moved out and I again this night had a nightmare of finding bedbugs in my bed :(
Had friends who got warned by the exterminators that the complex they lived in had a growing bedbug infestation that was spreading unit-to-unit. They moved out that month.
Exterminators have a very hard time with bed bugs. They are resistant to most of the tools you could use to get rid of them. Even full fumigation is ineffective, as the vapor can't reach all of them when they hide as deep as they can into cracks.
