My brother was an Orkin Man (bug dude) for a while, and he said that they are a nightmare to get rid of!

I know that when I worked at a hostel in Australia there was a huge problem with bedbugs. My hostel didn't have problems but we used some of that pesticide spray on the beds every couple of days. I'm sure it took a year off my life, but to me that's totally worth it to not have horrible horrible bites all over. One girl came to our hostel after being at a different one and she was so covered with scabs no one wanted to ask because we all thought she was abused or had a crazy disease. Then she told us about bedbugs!

I other words, make sure your landlord moves his ass!!
