Bedbugs creeping into a mattress near you

' The expression "Don't let the bedbugs bite" is taking a more serious tone in the metro area.

I know how you feel. My roomate and I lived in Cottonwood Creek off of Bowles and Wadsworth and we had to throw away most of our belongings due to bedbug infestation. We complained to the mangement and he told us that our complaint was rediculous. I had people at work asking me if I was being beaten at home and if everything was ok. We were both coverd in bug bites. My roomates bed was the worst. Her box sping had big blood spots on it from where the bed bugs were nesting durring the day. We had just bought brand new furniture and had to throw it all away and start over.

I just got the chills. Can't imagine that type of invasion.

Or maybe I can..........

Ew! My best suggestion is to throw everything that could have bugs in it away(fabric furniture, anythings thats unprossed soft wood, pillows, clothes.....)

I never knew what a problem this was!! Been living in a place less than one month and the place is infested with these. I plan to throw away most everything..but where?? I do not want anyone to aquire the infested items. Also, did you all try washing in hot, dry on high? This is a nightmare. Also..if they are in my clothes, am I able to see them?
