Samantha says Edinburgh Council are refusing to rehome her despite the infestation taking over her home.
Samantha, 29, lives with her three young boys, aged 10, 8 and 6. One of her children had to visit their local GP after being bitten over 20 times in one night, reports Edinburgh Live.
“We were all sleeping when I found the first bed bug overnight on April 15, I felt it on my skin and later on my son’s neck. It was horrible, I can’t explain how it made me feel. “I managed to capture one in a container before I rushed to the council office so that they could see we needed to be rehoused as the home is not safe for me and my family. But the housing manager told me that my home would be safe for us to go back to after four or five hours.”The issue has already cost her thousands of pounds due to having to buy new beds and laying new flooring but no solution has been found as of yet.
“He found that the home was inhabitable and organised for us to go into temporary accommodation. We had to travel to the other side of town and when we got there I was so shocked. Samantha has also shelled out on countless pest control treatments but says this has had little affect on the problem.
