Wilmington, NC (WWAY) -- Residents of a Wilmington apartment complex can’t sleep tight because the bed bugs will bite.
Residents at The Pines of Wilmington say that they started noticing the problem in May and that they contacted property management.
A maintenance man was sent out to spray for the bugs but after a few days they returned and have yet to successfully be exterminated and the problem seems to be getting worse.
"The bed bugs have been getting increasingly worse and worse each day and they're going from one apartment to another,” said tenant Ife Alexander. “They're getting inside of peoples beds, peoples couches, the tenants sheets, blankets, anything that you can think of they're getting into. People are having to get rid of a lot of stuff."
Some tenants say that the problem has gotten so bad that they are moving out of The Pines of Wilmington.
WWAY contacted management at The Pines of Wilmington by phone and they say that they are aware of the problem and they have taken care of the situation.
My son's apartment has bed bugs
We are battling this issue right now at The Pines. They sprayed two weeks ago and they are back. Do they not know that spraying does not get rid of them? Hire a professional to get rid of them.
bed bugs are in the pines
This is not a lie , i stay in the pines , they came and sprayed my unit and low and behold i still have bed bugs who are currently enjoying my 18 month old daughter body.She woke up screaming because it was messingt with her so bad. So when they say they are handling it thats bullshyt. The can give two fucks about there residents
Ulterior Motives
I know the person stirring up the trouble at the apartments. She told me she had them before she moved there and she owes them a lot of money. Shame you WWAy3 for not looking up court records before you slam a local business and for not telling the whole story. Bed Bugs are everywhere, even in the finest hotels.
From Y2k to Now
I had some friends who lived at the Pines.
The rate at which the property has gown DOWNHILL from 2000 to 2012 is unbelievable.. To drive through, it doesn't look like the same place.. It looks like a nasty ghetto... Its no wonder they have bug problems... Yuck!
Bedbugs
I understand that it takes high heat to kill them that spraying will not work.
Best Bed Bug Book
Bed bug infestations are now epidemic, thanks to an uninformed public and incompetent exterminators who don’t know how to treat bed bugs specifically.
'The Bed Bug Survival Guide' is definitely the best book available in terms of learning how to avoid and get rid of bed bugs.
