Lama and Mohammed Al-Khatebb said the larger apartment meant their two children each had their own bedrooms. Following advice from a friend, Mohammed Al-Khatebb put sticky tape under the bed and the next day, he found a bedbug on it. But they couldn't get any help from their landlord or NB Housing to solve the problem. The family hired a company to spray, but it cost Mohammed Al-Khatebb $800, a cost that's especially steep because he's studying to be an IT systems administrator at Eastern College. Mohammed Al-Khatebb shows a picture of his childrens' new bed frames that had to be thrown out after they were infested with bedbugs.
