I understand the landlard entered the premises a couple of days ago and gave folks 5 minutes to evacuate before setting off several bug bombs. I'm pretty sure that kind of behavior is illegal without at least 24 hours notice. I haven't noticed much sign of non-landlord related vermin in the room, but I don't spend extended amounts of time at the space.  When folks objected to this intrusion I understand that the landlord set off one or more foggers in a garbage can, which, of course, rather defeats the purpose, particularly since Elliot bravely (if perhaps foolishly) took the still fuming trash can outside, I hope he's OK.

Anywho, I stopped by the room last night to drop off a bag of bread and hung around gabbing for 20-30 minutes and noticed that my exposed skin was burning & itching and my lungs felt weird.  I think I suffered from contact dermatitis, I took a shower as soon as I got home and threw all of my clothes in the laundry hamper even though I'd only been wearing them for a week or two, but I'm still feeling a bit of intermittent tingling.

Personally, I suspect that a fair amount of the hoopla over exposure to household chemicals is overblown, even neurotic is some cases, but given the landlord's cavalier and abusive actions I surmise that he may have visited during the middle of the night and set off a large number of TRFs.  Now I'm beginning to see why so many sudoers are agitating for a change of venue.

So if this has not been done yet, I recommend that all utensils and plates get washed and all surfaces get wiped down with a damp cloth. http://insects.answers.com/pest-control/diy-pest-control-how-to-use-a-bug-bomb

Clean Surfaces to Remove Residue
 
Upon returning to the area it is important to properly clean the pesticide residue from all major surfaces. Counter tops, especially those that encounter food, cookware, and/or dishes, should be wiped thoroughly with warm soapy water. Carpets and rugs should be vacuumed, as should any cloth furniture that was not covered prior to fogging the area. Bedcovers, pillows, and any clothing left out during the treatment should be washed with detergent and hot water. Wood and tile floors should be swept and mopped to prevent pesticide particles from being shuffled up into the air.
