Good advice, Dave. I haven’t had a run-in with bedbugs in Korea *knock wood* but lots of mosquitoes. I know it’s the flying insects for certain because of their incessant buzzing and that I’m allergic to their saliva. Anyone had a bed-bug experience here? You’ve got my curiosity piqued.

They’re NOT mosquitos. Trust me. From experience. They’re bed bugs. They live behind the wall-paper, behind light switches, anywhere they can hide during the day. They come out at night, feast on you (the bites are mostly on your fingers / knuckles / toes, -right?). Your apartment will need to be fumigated. If you doubt the problem is bed-bugs, wait until the middle of the night, then flip on the light quickly, and look carefully at your walls / floors / anywhere you can peel back the wallpaper. I know this posting is 2 years after the original posting, but I’m putting it on here in case it helps someone who comes across this.

I know the feeling…how do those little buggers get into the apt?

I am wondering if anyone else has this problem…my screens in my apartment appear to be perfectly intact but if I open my window (with the screens on) I get tons of mosquitoes and I wake up with bites all over my body. My landlord says there is nothing he can do because the screens are intact. I am wondering if this is a common problem and if I have any recourse or any creative solutions.
