Twin Arms Apartments is under new management and they have worked to try and alleviate the bed bug problem in my apartment. Fortunately, I believe the bugs are gone now.

Bed bugs were present in Twin Arms Apartments at 1205 Yukon St Apartment #102, Lakewood CO 80214 from January to April 2010. A professional exterminator was used twice to spray for the bed bugs. Hopefully they are gone now.

I started to develop welts in January on my arms and had no idea where they were coming from, so I went to a dermatologist. They biopsied the welts and determined they were hives, but couldn't tell me what they were from, so I just dealt with the welts.

I had never h

ad to deal with anything like this, so I didn't know what to look for (i.e., the black spots on bedding, etc.). I discovered a few bugs in late February and early March but didn't know what they were. I went to the Denver Butterfly Pavilion in early March and they had a poster with a description of what bed bugs were and the signs to look for. They also had a sample of a bug, so I finally knew what they were. Thank you to the Pavilion. I contacted my apartment complex and they had my apartment sprayed by an exterminator in mid March. When I kept seeing the bugs they sprayed again two weeks later. I am not seeing any signs as of mid April, so I think they are gone.

This has been the worst experience I have ever been through. The psychological stress of not being comfortable in my own bed was the worst. But, having to prepare for the exterminator was also stressful. I'm glad it is done, and now I know what to look for in the future.
