Bed Bugs procedure after Tenant moves out.

[Jonathan Johnson]

Hello BP, 

I got bedbugs in the upstairs unit of a 4-unit apartment. An inherited tenant just moved out and left some couches, a dresser, and a lot of little nick-nacks everywhere in the one-bedroom apartment. She then said she's not touching the stuff and that I can keep the deposit. So at least there's that.

I got a quote from the local exterminator at $350 for the one apartment with 3 follow-up visits for $140 ($490 total).

Question:  How do I get the furniture out? They are couches and a dresser so I can't do it myself. I was planning on buying full body paint suits and gloves. And maybe hiring a friend to help? I don't know who else I could hire to get it done.
