Hello there. I've become involved in a situation with my landlord here are a few details surrounding it.
- bed bugs started biting me and my girlfriend at night a month ago
- we thought it was just fleas because we recently dealt with a flea infestation and figured the last couple were getting us and not the cats
- fast forward till last week or 2 and actually found bed bugs on us
- as I'm writing this I've been up since 3 am and I've killed about 6 bugs, always coming from the ceiling.
- other people (more than 1) in my apartment (duplex) have had bed bugs before and the landlord bombed the apartment beneath us without telling us. They have also never mentioned a bed bug problem in general.
- we made them aware of the bed bugs over a week ago and they said they can't afford to treat everyone's apartment because they just replaced AC units. (They roll up in a new Lincoln Navigator to tell us this)
- I am straight up losing sleep every night waking up with a flashlight and killing bugs every night, we also spray the whole room and rub ourselves down with wintergreen alcohol to prevent biting with moderate success. It's almost become like a routine like brushing our teeth before bed
- I have a bed that cost over 3000$ that I still partially have a loan on, and I'm scared it's infested w bed bugs now.
Any advice would be much appreciated. I'm scared I'm going to be forced to sue these people over my bed or catching a disease from getting bit EVERY single night.
Kindest regards, Dave.
