I have a bed bug problem in my apartment. I have been getting bit. So my logic is, alcohol is bad for the human body, therefore it is bad for a bed bug. I don’t know if that’s true. So if I drink alcohol, the alcohol goes in my blood, the bed bugs drink my blood, the bed bugs ingest the alcohol (which Im hoping will be a lethal dose considering their size), and die. Plausible?

Is it the landlords responsibility to take care of bed bugs when it is the tenants who have brought them into an apartment.

Someone on my sister’s floor had bed bugs and they some how migrated to her apartment. Although she is getting her apartment sprayed she wants to throw out her furniture but doesn’t know if she has to have the furniture treated before doing so. She is also worried that they will come back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

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.

I’m fairly certain that I have bed bugs living in my apartment and I want to get rid of them, so is this my landlord’s responsibility or my own? Will I be required to pay for an exterminator if the infestation needs it or will my landlord?
