The very bad news: The UNCE identified it positively as a bed bug. For real.
The good news:
The mattress is not infested as per our inspection. We dropped ca$h on mattress and box spring covers. This should be taken care of. Also, neither of us has had any reactions to bites.
The ok news:
The landlord will take care of it via spray. Not sure how I feel about this because 1) kittens and 2) the great new york google collective seems to think heat treatment is the way to go. The manager was all like "we've never had a problem with this before" and I was all "we didn't have it at either of our parent's places and they could have come from anywhere" and he was all "well I guess we did have it in two other units but far away from yours" On the way out I told Roger people probably don't say anything, for any number of reasons.
The bed bugs we found were on the wall near the kitten tree in the living room, and the first one I found was two weeks ago when Roger was in Atlanta. I had stripped the bed to launder things and upon making the bed, found a little mofo on the comforter. Didn't id it as a bed bug, because, why not? Flushed it without thinking.
