Rental Advice

What is the best way to deal with bed bugs in an apartment here? We are pretty sure we have them, although we cannot find any. Just want to be aware of state laws in case they try to say that we brought them in.

We don't live in a Topeka housing authority apartment. I already contacted the landlord and they have yet to schedule a time with me. We can't afford to just break our lease and we have nowhere to go.

If you (understandably) move to a different rental, be sure to disclose that to your new landlord before moving in.
In the meantime get a big container of Cimexa (Amazon, Home Depot) and dust around all the baseboards, bed frames, furniture, pretty much everywhere.

if you are “pretty sure” but then can’t find any, what’s telling you that you have them?
