Sorry about the fumigation and all that goes with that. As far as Bennett and traveling, cats are territorial and like routine. When you take them out of their 'safe place' they get stressed. When you travel with them, same thing, stressed. And once they are adults, unless they are raised with other cats, they don't like to be around other cats. Again, territorial and very stressful for them. I've had cats all my life and right now have 3. The best thing for Bennett is to keep him at home, and have others come in to care for him if you need to be away. I know this time couldn't be avoided, but I'm sure you want what's best for him. Hope your apartment if bug free now. HUGS!

I had them years ago. I’m spotless, so people were shocked that I had them. They don’t discriminate. They leave little black marks (like if you dabbed your sheets with permanent marker). They can go two years without a meal. We are sure I got mine from a moving truck with the blankets they provide for padding. Sorry girl. It is stressful.

I’ve had them in 2013. I think in total there were three treatments (to catch the egg cycles). The prep was a nightmare (clothes, bedding, curtains all had to be washed, dryed & bagged), everything off the walls. The exterminators drilled small holes at the bottom of the walls in each room & shot in diatomaceous earth which dries out the bugs’ exoskeleton and then they die. It worked but I was too freaked out over the whole thing so my lease was up in a couple months anyway so I was out there after that. My arms looked like I had pink polka dots on them which were the bites.

New subscriber here! I know you’re past this crazy time but just wanna let you know I also had a bed bug issue during this time. Never got bit but we found a few lives ones throughout the apartment. The exterminator came and sprayed but we never needed to get fumigated. Only the apartments that were infested. I can’t believe they made you fumigate without even checking for bugs!! But better safe than sorry - I’m glad this crazy time is over for you! ❤️

Bed bugs is definitely a normal thing. Back in 2020 I was waking up in the mornings with welts on my arms that I couldn't trace until I finally saw a bug after about two weeks. My family's house was on the market and they had literally accepted an offer the day before. It was a nightmare to pack up the entire house (5 adults' worth of everything) in one weekend. The exterminator that treated the house believed that the bed bugs ended up in my room during a showing when someone set down a purse/jacket/etc. Thankfully the buyer was super understanding and still closed on the house a month later. It's rough during the process but I promise it will get better in the aftermath. Hopefully everything will be over as soon as possible so that you can return to your normal activities❤

Scam or not, you also have the right to consent to stuff like this in your apartment. You don’t have to agree with the recommendation if you think it seems silly to fumigate for one bedbug with no evidence of infestation. Of course, we don’t know all the info. If this was your building’s exterminator and your landlord wants this to happen to be proactive to make sure nothing spreads to other apartments, then it might make more sense.

Hi Alexis. I've been thru this with roaches. My landlord hired an exterminator and I think your landlord should have done the same. I'm so sorry you had to go thru all these but like you said it's more common than ppl think. I was told to get a spray bottle pour rubbing alcohol and spray your bed every time you change your sheets/also spray under sink areas and that will keep the bugs away/ kill them. I've been doing that and I think it works. And BTW Bennett is so so cute 😺.
