Question by Vergie:
What can I do besides selling my condo as my neighbor has bedbugs.?

I got home Monday and a pest control co. had left their card in my door and I called them and they said that my neighbor who lives upstairs next to me called them for an inspection and
they found bedbugs in her mattress and so far as they could tell that is the only place she had them. She is not going to get rid of the mattress nor get treatment because she can’t afford the $ 500 for it. I have read that they can spread to other apts.
I called her landlord and she did with no answers. I also called he health dept. and they can’t do anything nor will the association mgmt. co. that manages our property….they said it’s an inside problem……I really hate to have to sell my condo over this but am thinking about it……..sorry this is so long but has anyone ever experienced anything like this and what did you do?…I bought some spray from Home Depot to spray on that side of the baseboards and pipes next to her…got sick as it was so strong but felt I had to do something..help!

Well you could have a pest control company spray bomb your condo…not so sure they will spread that much..ask a pest control company..

As long as you don’t sleep with your neighbor you should be fine.

I’d be a little careful with laundry arrangements, but other than that there’s enough distance between you.

Bedbugs don’t travel that much. The pest control dude was just trying to drum up business.

well, there’s one thing you can do to solve the problem. you can raise funds for your nieghbour to change her mattress! i know it sounds silly, but, you’ll be doing everyone a big favour by getting rid of the bed bugs from EVERYONE, and also she’ll have a new mattress to sleep and the bed bugs will not bite her or something.

your poor neighbour has the biggest problem!
