Bed Bugs

I've been living in dorms for about 4 years now, and I've never had a real problem with it till now.

I moved in back in August, and found that the room previously had an infestation of bedbugs. My roommate had stayed in the same room before, and he laughed about it. He didn't seem to mind too much. I thought this was outrageous.

I've had some days where the exterminator came to spray the room, but I've done it five times now, and I sitll have the problem. The supervisor for the work request office said that it's my fault if the problem persists. I thought that was ludacris, because I never had bedbugs in my house, and I have been following all the instructions she gave me. and it still fails.

This is a video about bedbugs to get a better understanding of my worst enemy of 2008.

Thanks exactly what the manager wants you to think, that it's your problem. Not the case!

You can search the net for previous issues with the landlord (also check with the city and if possible, file a complaint).

Here are three cases where people sued the hotel for bedbug bites!

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and read that information. Perhaps print that out and let the manager know they need to work with you rather than blame you!

Bedbugs are not easy to get rid of and making a statement like that is out of line!

Good luck!
