Answer 2

you should move out of the apartment and find a better place to live in that is in great condition. Good Luck!!

Answer 3

The exterminators will probably want to fog the entire apartment.  You need to take what you need and move out temporarily.  The pest control company can tell you how long that will be.  Why hire pest control if you are going to move and abandon all your possessions like the other posters suggest?  Yours is not the first home to be invaded by bed bugs and I doubt anybody else ever left everything that they owned behind, or even threw anything away.  In answer to your original question, the pest control company can give you instructions on how to ready for their visit.

Answer 4

move out forever
