Maybe they should have tried cleaning?

Wow, the St Regis has really gone downhill.

Ugh...I made it to 41 seconds. What the hell - did they abandon the apartment for months, or what?! How can the tenants let it get that out of control? Now I'm all crawly-feeling. Thanks, Gothamist!

That's what you get for bringing home all that furniture you found on the street.

um. so: if you've ever had bedbugs you know this is an extreme extreme case of utter neglect and possibly psychotic obliviousness depicted in the video. it will never be this obvious and you will drive yourself mad trying to find any indication (beyond your sores) of your infestation. its horrifying, but not particularly helpful, to make a video like this. anyway. my 2 cents.

That is horrific. A year ago I found the beginnings of bedbugs and went nuts. I poisoned my whole apartment and they didn't survive.

i made it to 00:35 and had to shut it off. i'm paranoid because a building 3 bldgs down from me is infested. ugh, there is never ever an excuse for packing your miniscule apartment with THAT MUCH CRAP.

That was gross, but for some reason I was more shocked that they had a bunch of VHS tapes. Haha!

Bed Bugs do not reproduce very fast, how the hell did it go that far?! Now I feel things crawling on me.

Ew. Suddenly the errant roach that I see once in a blue doesn't seem so bad.

Think twice

Disgusting. Roaches are bad enough, but bloodsuckers...ugh. Sooo much clutter. I can't stand a pack rat's apartment - even if said pack rat is fastidious and stylish - just what is the point of living with so much idle junk. Just more hiding places for vermin I say. Less is more people. Less to clean.

How could they let it get that bad?

I suppose it doesn't help to have the place jammed full of crap to begin with.

Fizzles at the end? This was never lit to begin with.
