Luther Center resident says building is infested with bed bugs

[TexasTowelie]

ROCKFORD – A resident of downtown’s Luther Center says the building is infested with bed bugs and that he’s been bitten several times.

Chuck LaMont, who’s lived in the facility for five years, said besides the 100 bed begs he has seen his apartment within the last two weeks, there’s been dozens more in the dining hall and TV area.

“They are everywhere,” LaMont said. “They are in the carpets, and I’ve seen them crawling around on the furniture. People are being served meals in there, not knowing that there is a bed-bug outbreak.”

LaMont said his apartment is not the only one that’s been affected and that there are bugs in “over half” of the 200-unit complex.

1. If you've seen 100 in your apartment, you've been 'bitten' way the hell more than several times

The 'times' you think you were bitten were probably mosquitos or spiders.

Fact is, most people don't have any reaction to bed-bug bites. Thankfully they're unknown to spread disease. They just poke you, take a tiny bit of blood, and go on their way, living in your bed and walls and curtains and ... wherever. Mostly your bed, if they can find a place to hide out. They only have to feed every few weeks.

Bedbugs, along with cockroaches, are our insect overlords. Very expensive to totally eradicate once they infiltrate buildings, the best a lot of people are going to be able to do unless they have their own single-family residence ... is seal their mattresses, giving them nowhere to comfortably dwell, put things under the feet of their beds that the bugs can't scale, don't let bedding touch the walls or floor, etc.

BEDBUGS F***ING SUCK. They're creepy as hell .. but fortunately they won't actually hurt you. Just steal your soul, and maybe drive you slowly insane. People have not only burned down their houses (both accidentally and on purpose) over bedbugs, they've also committed suicide. Not even kidding.

Yeah, We had 'em in our house. I think I picked 'em up from my office, cause we found 'em there too. And I had to work SO HARD to finally get rid of all those bastards, and spent a TON of money. It was a NIGHTMARE.
