Last Monday I seen what looked like 3 little Bedbugs on my bed. I was leaving for a trip the next day so I  I didn’t stay in my unit for about 5 days. Immediately I threw away the sheets in the outside trash, I sprayed my mattress & sofa down with a bleach solution & 2 full cans of Raid begbug spray. The next day before we left I dried every inch of the mattress and sofa with a blow dryer on the highest heat. I put 3 beg bug fogger in each room and I left my heat on 90 for the weekend (online it said they hate heat lol idk I wasn’t trying everything). When I came on Sunday I did not see anything. I bought a mattress cover to go over the mattress and a couch cover. I haven’t seen anymore in the last 48 hours. My property manager told me since I reported seeing a bedbug “first” I am responsible for fumigating the whole building. No where in my lease does it mention anything about pest exterminating other than to keep the unit free of anything.

I have not taken in any new furniture or had any visitors in my home. The only thing I can think of that has happen recently is when a family moved out of their unit about 11 day ago with their dirty furniture and heaps of junk piles filled the hallway as it was carried the back of a trash trailer they rented.

When i called the first day i spoke to the receptionist that said the landlord doesn’t treat for bedbugs and it was quote “my problem” I said okay. So Monday this morning i requested to close my maintenance request due to no longer seeing them and I was told now that the appointment is scheduled I will be responsible for spraying all the units in the building even if they don’t find them in my unit but others in theirs because apparently I’m “the origin” of the “infection” mind you nobody has even came to look or inspect my unit since I moved in 13 months ago. While I agree if I genuinely had a major infestation, but I have reported that there is no longer a problem and have tried to set an appointment for the property manager to see for herself. I have sent videos of my mattress to show no bugs or eggs but now she has stopped responding to me.

North Carolina: Told I have to pay to have the whole unit treated for bedbugs.
