Bedbug Invasion In Rented Condo Has Tenant's Skin Crawling; Complex Management Says It's Not Their Problem; Says Unit Owner May Be In Foreclosure

In Phoenix, Arizona, KPHO-TV Channel 5 reports:

• They are trapped in Scotch tape like fingerprints from a crime scene. Bree Daniels said it's the evidence that bedbugs have infested her Phoenix condo. "I woke up one night and saw one crawling out of my electrical socket, and I freaked out," Daniels said.

• Daniels lives at the Paradise Village II complex near 19th Avenue and Cactus Road, and said the problem started a month ago. "I got rid of my bed, I threw out all the comforters, all the sheets, and the pillows," she said. Daniels said the infestation was so widespread, that the only safe place to sleep was the bath tub. "I haven't had a good night's sleep since this started," she said.

• Daniels contacted CBS 5 News because she said she couldn't get anyone from the complex management to take care of the problem. They told us that she might be out of luck. "Unfortunately in her situation, we're not the ownership or management in charge of her unit," said complex manager Jaramiah Cox.

• Cox said Daniels' unit might be going through foreclosure and whoever owns it has not contracted with his management company. Meanwhile, Daniels is stuck with a problem that makes her skin crawl just thinking about it. "A hair falls on your arm and you think something's crawling on you. It's psychologically damaging," she said.
