On July 14, 2018 at 8:04 AM I was lying on the couch awake. We keep our apartment very, very clean and I had just scrubbed all the floors clean by hand last night. Our living room is extremely neat with zero clutter. I felt something on my right arm. At first I thought it was a hair, so I brushed it away. Then I saw a bug, so I caught it and smashed it. I stuck it to clear tape, and saw that it was a bedbug. I have never had bedbugs in my life, but a friend once showed me on in a plastic bag many years ago, and I had visited an entomologist once when I was afraid something was a bedbug but he had identified it as a baby cockroach. He showed me what real bedbugs looked like, so I could identify them. Well, this was a real one at Tradewinds. Interestingly, it was on the couch that's against a wall that shares a wall with an apartment next door where last night the man was throwing away tons of stuff out of the blue – shopping carts of things. He said he was cleaning out because he had a lot of clutter and had been there for over 40 years. We have lived here for a while and never had a problem before. I also think this is a condotel, and that some people legally rent out their units as hotel rooms, which would definitely increase the visitor traffic and the likelihood of something latching onto someone and coming in. This makes me really sad, because we have loved living here. The staff are wonderful. The neighbors are great and peaceful. I have never had bedbugs in my life, and that was my greatest fear. Well here's to facing fears. Now we have to figure out how to get rid of them. Definitely reporting this to the front office asap.
