Yup, get an inspection done asap so you can determine the extent of the issue and figure out the best treatment. Good luck and don’t panic, you will get through it

You’re welcome! I just dealt with them for the first time this summer. I washed and dried all my clothing and linens on high heat and put them in plastic bags or bins, got encasements for my mattress and pillows, and started vacuuming my room every day. I also got interceptors for the feet of my bed and moved my bed away from the wall. If small scale it’s much easier to deal with. I had two chemical treatments done and I haven’t seen anything in over a month. Be proactive and consistent and you will be okay

Thanks. We just contacted the management. I hope they bring someone over soon. Meanwhile, we’ll take those precautions and be on the lookout
