:twisted: Place Private college in northern NH. $$$
Senior year with all 5 friends who were were together since freshman year moved into an apt in the Senior residence . after two months the bed bugs smelled fresh blood. # of the girls were coverd with bites. they slept against the wall. They went to RA and medical. everyone refused to believe they were BBs. They escalated and wanted to tackle this w/o parents. they moved them to another building but had to separate them. the dean of students acted when they came to the meeting with evidence and pictures. They had to rewash all of their stuff and cover stuf on the walls and they sprayed all the walls. the girls moved back 2 weeks later. BBS again...On xmas break theroom was emptied and debugged. Needless to say a month later they were back. the girls had tomove back out and it spoiled their senior year. Before grad. the parents stepped in and ordered the room be sealed off at least for ayear. The BBs were insde the wall.
Some things we learned never pick up couches and bedding from th trash. they are attracted to fresh blood. We put duct tape aroung the legs of the beds. sticky side out. or put plastic cups filled with mineral oil under the bed legs. Move everything away from the wall. look on internet of pictures of what the marks on bedding looks like.
My girl is out of school 3 years now and is still paranoid of everywhere she sleeps. she shudders at remembering her college life...the BB part.
