They said the bigger problem is management wants them to pay for treatment.

One resident showed News Channel 4 spots were she said bed bugs bit her daughter.

She three years old and they itch her all the time, the woman said. We dont sleep in our beds anymore because they are in the box-spring lining.

Tenants said they were told it would cost $300 to $500 for extermination; for some, thats close to one months rent.

Unit after unit, residents showed us where the bugs are hidden in the crevices between the carpet and walls.

Some tenants have poured powder on their mattresses trying to suffocate the bed bugs.

We contacted the Oklahoma City County Health Department.

Officials said the complex was put on notice Sept. 27 and the owners have 10 days to days to abate the problem.

A review of county records shows four complaints on file against the apartments for bed bugs, rodents and other insects.
