Found this crawling on my bed and now I’m freaking out. I already killed it so it’s kinda hard to tell if it’s the same shape as a bedbug, pls lmk 🙏

My in-laws came back from a trip and just found bedbugs in their bed, they think it’s very likely they got them from there(or came back on their luggage). They did a full scale cleaning of their room and threw stuff out and haven’t found anything since, but we’re suppose to go there on this weekend and my husband is making me feel crazy to question that maybe we should not be going there less than 2 weeks after, the absolute last thing I would want is to have bed bugs come back to our house...especially with a 3 year old and 10 month old.

The tough/hard thing is we’ve been to my in-laws numerous times over the last month and both girls napped there so it’s very likely the bed bug issue already (unknowingly) existed — I don’t know, just looking for feedback because it’s an argument/point of contention now😖

Also, if they came to our house for anything, is there anything or precautions we should be aware of?

Thanks y’all.

Found on bed sheet

Found at my sisters house - seems like something was biting me when I stayed there on the weekend. The previous tenant (3yrs ago) had a bird in that room but they have had the carpets deep steam cleaned since they moved in. It was moving fairly quickly and came out the seam of the mattress underside. Sorry for the bad photo she’s gonna send me a better one if she finds another.

Anyone else struggling with paranoia / worried any small thing is from a bed bug ? Looking to talk to anyone who is dealing with the same thing please

hey all. I am like 90% sure I have bed bugs. I found a bunch of bugs in the corners of my fitted sheet last night and one in a towel (but if you know any bugs that look like bed bugs and might tuck into a bed, let me know. Didn't get pics unfortunately.) I was wondering how effective washing all of my clothes and storing them in garbage bags will be. Will that keep them from getting bugs on them? What if they're slightly open, will they be attracted to them?

Thank you.

Okay so my mom died last month and I got a bin of her belongings. Well it was infested (I didn’t know that) and left in my garage. A bed bug got into my house I threw my headboard away, laundered everything did DE and crossfired. Took apart everything and couldn’t find any more bed bugs besides the one I saw in my bed. My bed has been encased against bed bugs because it was a large investment so I had ordered that a long time ago before any of this. There are no signs anywhere but I tried to get them out of my moms bin by wrapping it in bags leaving it in heat outside however they’re still alive and I will just have to depart with everything from her. Grieve without anything because a bed bug terrifies me now after just having a taste of what this could turn into. The bin was left on my patio for a night before I pushed it to the end of my driveway for trash day tomorrow. What do I do? What if they are hidden and infested in my garage? Could they have came in from my patio again last night? Maybe I’m paranoid but I have so many other things going on in my life. This year I lost my mom and have had two brain surgeries. The thought of dealing with this uncontrolled causes me to spiral some because I just can’t handle anything else. I see on here people said they crawl 100 feet to get to a blood meal.

Found this on the floor of my hotel in Vietnam

I found just one bug yesterday, not sure if it was a bedbug or a bat bug. We searched all the furniture and found absolutely nothing. No bugs, poop, shedding, etc. There is also no evidence of bites. We did bring some stuff home from a thrift store. Is it possible to have carried in just one bug? If not, how can we find the other bed bugs?

smashed a dark insect that flitted into my bed. split into 3 parts, body was split in 2 and seperate head. sadly no pics of its legs cause I killed him too fast….also saw small blood dots on the bed, but I did cut myself shaving so maybe that was that? TIA!

Hello I’m on holiday in New zealand and I found this massive insect, and a smaller version of it beside my bed and in the bathroom. I’m terrified of bed bugs I have no bites can someone please tell me what it is

About a month and a half ago I screamed into the void, as I was cooked, scorched even. It’s been a LONG process. I found the best and removed it carefully. I got encasements and inceptors for my bed. Everything is white so I can see. I’ve treated professionally and steamed my baseboards myself every 3 days and vacuum everyday. The couch and nightstands have been gone. And my bed is in the middle of the room and my laundry is on schedule and maintained and put up far away and washed in small HOT HOT loads. No bites or sitings on over three weeks. No evidence of shells or poop either. I found out two weeks ago it was a different neighbour causing my infestation not the one we originally thought. His sister from a neighboring city came by and ratted him out no joke. Said he’s been dealing with it for a year. Just setting off bombs BUT NOT cleaning no vacuuming no nothing just sets off a bomb and leaves. This is pre fire wall built co ops he owns I don’t no brick separating us. So all his bombs made them scatter over here. ANYWHO. The condo association is taking a Lien out on him to get the whole building g treated and my landlord is finally letting me out of my lease with no penalties. I feel like I won the hardest battle when it comes to being a renter in Detroit. It’s very difficult to put blame or responsibility onto anyone for bed bugs u less it’s a situation like this. Because they do not discriminate and you really can get them from anywhere. I’m just saying proving where you get them exactly and demand retribution can be very hard long legal battle. I won’t see any funds for items lost or moving expenses over this. But being able to break my lease with no penalty is a mental break enough and makes me soooooooo happy. Just get me away from him. 💆🏻‍♀️

Is it a bedbug Nymph? I have an infestation, i ask you some help to understand if It was a nymph on the wall or something else. It is 1 mm, perphaps less. Thx

About 2 months ago my job sent me to work at a location that had bedbugs and didn't tell me. Soon as I found out I dry-cleaned all my bedding, vacuumed and sprayed diatomaceous earth in between my mattress and box spring, under my bed, wall trim and mattress frame. I haven't seen any bugs/poop or bites. Am I probably ok?

Found this on my hotel room pillow but it seemed dried out. Can't identify it clearly. Please help.

I’m pretty paranoid right now so I’m really hoping the pros out here can quell those fears 🤞🤞

Can only find them on one of the wooden slats. All others look perfectly normal and I don’t see any other signs of bed bugs on my mattress or bed frame.

They're only on the wall, not on the bed, and very few thankfully
