10/5/2011 North Carolina Mother Living With Bedbugs In Public Housing: Problem Has Persisted For 1.5 Months

Think you have a pest problem? One woman and her two small children have been living with bedbugs for a month and a half now.

Hundreds of bedbugs are all over Lawanda Johnson’s two story home. They live inside her two small children’s beds.

Johnson lives in Smith Homes, which is run by Greensboro’s Public Housing Authority.

Bite marks show on two year old Jamarie’s arms and eight month old Shia’s feet.

Johnson took her kids for treatment for the third time since the bedbugs entered her home, and she has to miss another day of work.

“It’s been hell, as far as work and as far as our skin. It’s like I can’t shake anybody’s hand without me wondering if they can see the bites or not,” said Johnson.

If you ever find yourself in this situation, know when to get a lawyer.

If your landlord tries to make you pay the extermination bill, or your landlord does nothing to help get rid of the bedbugs, and you did not bring the bedbugs inside the rented property yourself and can prove it, be sure to seek legal help fast.
