well to me my carpet looks very disgusting, in certain areas the carpet will turn black or brown or even white and underneath my dressers, tables, chairs,etc it looks very dark. also along the edges it looks like snail slim trails, I can sit in my kitchen and look at my living room carpet and see it move up alittle as if something is running underneath it. and at night is when i'ts really noticable, I can vaccum my floor over and over and it still there, I don't know what it is or what to do but I know that I'm tired of feeling like am I hallucinating or something, I have 2 kids and I'm concerned about what might this be I've lived here since nov.06 and the property management has not did nothing, if there's enyone that can shine alittle light on me please HELP!.

You did not specify what type of residence you reside in.Are you in an apartment,house or what?The landlord should be concerned about damage to house.Apartments usually spray monthly for pests.If you see snail slime then that is probably one problem.Roaches in an infestation will leave small black looking spots.Either way I would say you need to have it sprayed.Their are solutions for a landlord that does not fullfill his or her responsibilitys as a landlord.The BBB is one way and again who are you dealing with,a buisiness or a single owner?Apartment dwellers have recoarse thru renters association.They are in the phone book.Call the landlords bluff and tell him or her that you will call one of these places and I bet they will take care of problem.Hope the best for you!

Call a professional carpet cleaner and have them assess the carpet for you. From the sounds of it you need it cleaned anyways and it is very possible that you have earwigs or other pests residing beneath the padding

I don't know of any insect that could move the carpet up.........how about a mouse.I think it would rather be out in the open..I would pull the carpet up a little in that area and see what could be under there.....

You probably should call an exterminater first, then a carpet cleaner.
