There’s a new apartment we want to get. The previous owners left about 2 weeks ago because the bed bugs gave them rashes. There is no furniture left, the apartment is now completely empty, save the fridge and stove. The landlord’s wife cleaned it out, repainted it, if that makes a difference. It’s been empty for about 2 weeks. The previous owner had professionals try to exterminate them, twice, and it didn’t make a difference. Do bed bugs leave if they have no food or humans to feed on? Will there be any bed bugs left, is it safe to move into that apartment? All answers greatly appreciated.
By the way there’s no carpet, it’s all wood flooring.

i was changing the sheets on my bed (i change them about once or twice a week) and noticed my mattress was wearing unevenly. my mattress is about 10 months-ish old. i flipped it around, and noticed a tiny bug on the seam that was lying flat against the box spring. it was dead, and there was only one. i looked it up and it was a bed bug….. ughh. i think of myself as a relatively clean person… i wash my sheets at least once a week and bleach them. i vacuum my bedroom everyother day… how can i have bed bugs??? please tell me any ways to keep them away, i’m completely grossed out.
i havent visited a hotel in years, are there any low-chemical ways of dealing with them.
