Video summarizing events at the Bed Bug Academy of the Southwest, July 28-30, 2011 in Arlington, TX, hosted by the Texas Pest Control Association in cooperation with Bed Bug Central.
I lived in an apartment with bed bugs in 2017. The management did the best they could, but their best wasn't good enough. They heat-treated my building. I checked my apartment 8 hours after they finished and it was still over 100 degrees. I stayed at my parent's house that day and night. When I came back the next day, the blinds on the windows were melted. I went to the bedroom and saw a tiny bed bug crawling on my bed. They are impossible to kill. I moved out a few months later. I threw away thousands of dollars of my furniture -- my bed, dresser, couch and loveseat. I washed my cloths and put them in vacuum-sealed bags. I put a lot of stuff in storage for a year. When I moved back into my parent's house, I was super paranoid that I would bring bed bugs with me and infest their house, but luckily, it's been 4 years and I haven't seen any signs of them. I will never live in an apartment building again -- ever.
