Our apartment was treated in October of this year. It was treated twice and our landlord told us that he had treated the adjacent apartments. We also had a K9 inspection that showed everything was clean. I did get two bites the day before our K9 inspection, that started out very small and then turned into huge welts.
Two days ago around noon, I discovered two red spots on my arm. Over the course of a few hours they turned into welts. They seem to be about 6 hours apart in their maturity- for instance one of them is almost gone now and the other is still very red and angry.
I have two bed bug monitors on my bed that are both clear and have been there since we were inspected by the K9. I also checked my mattress and sheets and didn't find anything. So basically, is there still a chance these are bed bugs? How effective are the packtite passive monitors? Would they know if there was only one bug present?
Does anyone know if you can break your lease if you don't feel like your home is a safe place anymore? If there are more bed bugs I want out of this place (even though the landlord has been very amenable). I don't feel safe anymore.
