Bud Bug Bites I need to break my lease!

[JT912]

Sorry this post doesn't fit but I need help. Just moved in to an apt april first, got bit about 25 times after they sprayed twice, Colorado law doesn't have livibility rights. Also I researched and found that spraying doesn't work its just a bandaid to the problem. I told management all this and they said work with us let us treat your apt. Also I researched the company they use only to find out that they have a poor reputation. Is that it? Do I gotta live with bedbugs? Anyone know of any lawyers in the denver area?

I had to deal with a bed bug issue when I moved into my apartment. The previous tenant had bed bugs and before I moved in they sprayed 3 times, not the 4 times needed to exterminate them. They came back and lived for about a year with them spraying and my stuff moved away from the wall and my clothes in garbage bags etc.

If they spray, it needs to be 4 times one week apart each spray. Another option now is heating your place so it kills them.

You need to make your landlord do the necessary actions to get rid of them. My landlord was cheap and only sprayed 3 times instead of 4 a few times. Finally they sprayed 8 times and that got ride of them.

Living with bed bugs is unbearable. Until you get proper help with exterminating them, use hair spray on places you think they might have layed eggs.

I used to have bedbugs too. I ended up just throwing my bed and some other furniture out. Its a nightmare. Good luck getting rid of them

Try using 100% pure essential oils, like peppermint, eucalyptus, cypress, neem, tea tree, to name a few. A mixture of these oils work well. You can use a diffuser, or if you're cheap like me, put 10-15 drops of each of the above in a spray bottle using either water, witch hazel or rubbing alcohol, and shake well before spraying around your home. you can also put drops on cotton balls and place them around your home. You can also boil 4-5 cloves of garlic in water before adding your essential oils. I'm told bugs hate garlic. Not so for certain ants, though.

I've made home made bug repellent using the oils mentioned above in witch hazel. Works well, and the flies stay the hell away from me.

Good luck.

If you want to get rid of them without an exterminator, use hair spray and plastic. I unfortunately brought them over to my brother's house while my place was getting sprayed and when he got them we wrapped the couch in plastic for a year and sprayed hair spray on his wooden frame on his bed and he had no problems after that.

Raid makes some bombs that work pretty well. Also,sun kills those little bugs.
