Is it possible to sue my neighbors for bed bugs ? Recently my house was raided with bedbugs and all my tenants got bites from bedbugs. They had to throw away their mattress, rugs, and other expensive items. My tenants and other neighbors are pointing fingers to my next door landlord in my block because he keeps his house in horrible condition and puts his garbage with no lid. Apparently this landlord had bed bugs before but tried to kill the bed bugs using commercial products ( I was told by one of his tenants). I hired a bed bug exterminator today and that sh*t cost A LOT! I was wondering if there is any way to prove that it is his fault my house is raided ?

I didn’t even think these bugs existed in the US!

I just moved into an apartment complex, and the place had little bugs crawling around. I asked my landlord to spray, and he did. But I’ve done some research now, and I know they are bed bugs and they need special treatment.

Is there anything I can buy to kill them and stop them from coming back? They must be in my neighbors’ apartments too.

HELP! I can’t even sleep in my own place. I’ve been staying at a friend’s.

I have bed bugs in my apartment, I have done my research and know the difference between bed bugs and dust mites. I have webmd’ the bites on the arm and they are also a match for bed bugs. My plan is to vacuum out all my carpet and closet and dust everything, then to use the Bayer advanced indoor insect spray. then to vacuum my mattress and clean it dry so it doesn’t get mold with 20 mule team borax. then bagging up the mattress and box spring with tight hypo-allergenic covers, then buy new sheets,pillowcases, and pillows, any ideas to make this better? I’m a college student living in my apartment so needless to say I’m not loaded with money so calling the exterminator or replacing the mattress are too pricey for me right now. My landlord won’t do it for me, I’ve asked several times. PLEASE HELP ME!!! I WANT THOSE BUGS DEAD!!

Hi I live in Tempe, Arizona In an apartment called Wilshire Pines (do not move there) and have been living here for 6 months.

And i would like to know who is held liable if bed bugs infest an apartment? Is it the Landlord/apartment manager or the People who reside in the apartment?

Please answer I really would appreciate it, thanks!
And also I’ve been getting these bed bugs when i was heading into my 5th month.
I moved in 6 months ago. We brought our beds, furniture etc. practically everything. Then suddenly on the 5 month of our lease, bed bugs started appearing on our beds and clothes.

My friend and her family found bed bugs in their apartment. I think they got them from the people in one of the other apartments. I told them to call the landlord so he can send in an exterminator, but they don’t want to call because they are afraid that the landlord will kick them out of the apartment because of the bugs. Could he really do that?
I asked her – they don’t have a lease, they go month by month or whatever it’s called.

My roommates and I recently discovered bed bugs in our apartment. They seem to only be in one room, and the person in that room is the only one who has been bitten. We believe they came from a sheet set one of us bought that was a returned item at the store, but also open. We found about 10-15 hiding out under the sheets, and disposed of the sheets immediately.

The landlord of our apartment is going to charge us 5-ish to have the exterminators come out and do their thing. Is this a normal price for the service? Should the landlord be paying for this? Since we only have a few, (unlike the pictures we've found online), and gotten ride of most of them, should we call the exterminator ASAP, or try to wait it out?

Can I get rid of bed bugs on my own? Called on a prof. and got a quote of 0, too much for me to afford! I don't want to notify my landlord since it was probably my fault for bringing in a chair from the street.

OK, well we moved into a new house the other day and this house is infested with bed bugs, I am being biten every single night. Ive been doing alot of research online and this stories people are telling about thier experience is really freaking me out. Does Borax work? Does exterminating get rid of the problem? Im losing my mind already and we have only lived here for almost 4 days. The landlord thinks its nonthing serious, when you can actually see them crawling on the door frames?!?!?!?

I am plagued by bed bugs. I have done everything and can't afford to move. Does anyone know the best way to kill them for good? I live in an apartment and the landlord sprays but then it chases them to next apt and so on and so on. I am very depressed, I am 62 years old and I am sickly and I just don't know where to turn.

There's a new apartment we want to get. The previous owners left about 2 weeks ago because the bed bugs gave them rashes. There is no furniture left, the apartment is now completely empty, save the fridge and stove. The landlord's wife cleaned it out, repainted it, if that makes a difference. It's been empty for about 2 weeks. The previous owner had professionals try to exterminate them, twice, and it didn't make a difference. Do bed bugs leave if they have no food or humans to feed on? Will there be any bed bugs left, is it safe to move into that apartment? All answers greatly appreciated.
By the way there's no carpet, it's all wood flooring.
