My lease does not say anything about who takes care of the bug problem and last summer I had a huge ant problem and told the angency about my problem and they said that there was something they could do about it but couldn't right at that time because it was to wet outside and nothing ever got done and I've had a lady bug problem since before I moved in and they told me there was nothing they could do about it I have had ants, lady bugs, spiders, mice,and some other bug that was just crawling around and I don't know what to do about this I have a small baby and I don't like bugs at all please help

Have you tried asking your landlord about discounting your rent to hire your own exterminator? Sometimes individual landlords will do that, agencies not so much.

Hello t:

Write your landlord a letter. In it, document every time you've had bugs and NO response from the landlord. Tell your landlord that if THEY don't hire an exterminator within 72 hours, YOU will and deduct the cost from the rent. Send your letter certified, return receipt requested. Make ALL your communications with your landlord in writing from now on.
