Hey all, glad I found a subreddit dedicated to these little bastards. I live in a multi-apartment building that used to be a whole house. The infestation here is horrific and I don't really have the funding to do anything about it. I've mentioned it to my landlord several times and the only thing he ever does is come in and do a half-assed treatment, and refuses to have the whole building treated unless he gets reports from the several other tenants of the other apartments. This is fucked because the other tenants refuse to speak to me, and, according to our Slumlord, haven't reported any problems.

I'm simply at my wit's end and could use any kind of information or resources you folks know of. I've tried spraying everything down with alcohol, using lavender-scented everything, and placing dryer sheets between beds and mattresses and such. I'm absolutely terrified I'm gonna end up losing my job (this has happened before, because of this situation), and I'm afraid to approach my superiors about the issues I'm having, since I'm willing to bet they're wondering why I always come into work exhausted. I don't have washers and dryers on the premises and all that does is reduce the problem for a few days, and If I don't have the financial resources for a full and proper treatment, I don't have the resources to run to the laundromat every couple days. Even the local social services branch is like "lol, you're boned, we can't help you."

Moving is also out of the question for the same reasons as above. Help, please?
