Don't I wish. Wouldn't be here now if it were, would I? Actually, this article gave me the idea of doing the exact same thing for MY issues-- the bug problem and the alarms.

Yeah I did say you should report your landlord for the bugs .

Yup, and this is why-- I just spent 15 minutes tracking down and squashing a very sneaky cockroach, and now that's taken care of, I can document it, and also document the bites on my ankle, which staff suspect are bug bites.

No pets here. However, staff think it's bedbugs, but there's no surefire proof that they are, but all three bites have since healed (albeit leaving a reminder behind :|), but to be safe, I'll document them in the morning.

Actually I'm gonna do one better-- when I do move, my sheets I use will be destroyed. I'm not taking that chance. No way.

You needs to check your clothes too. I rented apartment with my sister and husband and it had cockroaches . A lot apartments in Boston did b/c people brought them with when they moved. My sister and I brought some laundry to our mom's house and we brought our 'pets' cockroaches too. My mom never seen them before and was freaking out . She had to call a bug man to spay her whole house. We told mom they were are pets but she didn't think they very cute.

Some clothes will likely get destroyed, as well. Like I said, not taking any chances whatsoever. If I find cockroaches in my clothes, they're good as done.
