Bed Bugs are without any doubt the worst kind of home invasion that is possible. I woke up last Sunday thinking I had hives from strawberries, then I remembered there was a serious infestation in my Apt. Building for the last couple years.

I looked up Bed Bugs on the net and talked to neighbors, then it hit me. These little blood sucking vampire bugs are in my bed, in my tiny little studio Apt. Once discovered, the nightmare if these rather intelligent vermin slowly dawned on me and it only gets worse and worse. Today is Thursday, just five days after reporting these bugs to building management,

I realized there was no escape from them, for me anyway, being in subsidized housing and very low, fixed, disability income prevents me from just up and running away from them. I actually have to live with them and sleep with them. Can you imagine my HORROR realizing this? Everything in my tiny apt has to be turned inside out and upside down, spray edevery two weeks or so (had first spray today) and I have to throw out, in sealed bags, just about everything I own. Laundry of everything, and I mean everything, every couple of days and have had virtually no sleep in 5 days.

The horror is so immense I can't even go on to describe more of this. Time to go cuddle up with them and let them feed on me, again, as I just simply have, no other options. If this ever ends, I'm going to be left with one chair, a TV a Computer & monitor. The only good side to this horror story is I expect to loose at least 50 lbs in the next few week/months & a lot of blood while gaining red bite marks, itching and scratching for months to come, if it ever ends.

At times I think Suicide seems like a good idea, but I will not let the vermin beat me that way. I may die from a heart attack from all the physical activity I simply am not capable of any more at 60 yrs old or the bugs may kill me by draining me dry. If only I could win the next lottery, I would be out of here at WARP 9.9999999 & 9/10th, but what are the odds that will happen? Really over tired now so got to get some sleep even if they feed on me all night long.

I swear this is all true and happening to me right now. If you have bed bugs, prepare yourself for a real life changing situation, Oh and wear hermetically sealed sleeping attire or as best you can. Good luck to all of us infected by these insanely smart, very small, blood sucking, vampire bug MONSTERS! There really are Monsters in the world and they are called BED BUGS!

Steve, thanks for sharing this bed bug horror story. I would contact your local health authority and the authority that handles landlord/tenant rights. It should like the problem isn't just in your apartment, but in the entire building.

Continue the good fight and we hope you find this website helpful in identifying strategies for fighting the problem. Here's our guide to apartment bed bugs.
