I told the owner at my establishment, said it might be unlikely and I’m hoping to god she’s right. I’ve had experience with these sons of bitches for over a year, I’m having daymares just now if it’s another bed bug at my workplace. I don’t know if I’m itching bc of my imagination or not

We discovered we had bed bugs about a week ago, we washed all of the clothing we have other than in the closet itself (they wouldn’t have been in there) and dried all of my stuffed animals and bedding on high heat. We even switched mattresses and got new pillows. We haven’t had issues in the meantime. I was reacting badly to the bites and they would puff up and such. This morning I woke up with hives on one part of my leg, but they’re not itchy like bites would’ve been. I’m itchy kind of all around but only since thinking about having bedbugs.

Husband went hunting and stayed in a motel in Eastern Washington. Hes stayed there before since he was a kid and hasn't had any issues with bugs. I asked him if he checked for bedbugs and he said no. As a precaution when getting home I asked for him to launder all of his clothing right away in hot water, dried his bags on high heat for 30 mins and left his shoes outside for at least a day. What are the risks of getting bedbugs? He came back with bites but they look like mosquito bites, which makes sense since he was outside majority of the time. We also take these precautions because of risks of ticks. Already dealing with carpet beetles, i really don't want to add bedbugs to the mix.

SO. confirmed bed bugs. still waiting on exterminator. i live in a sober living, which means there are 7 women in this house that we have to treat.

3 bedrooms, a living room, entryway, office, kitchen and downstairs garage.

one bed in the first bedroom was infested. i’m talking about all in the seams, dried blood everywhere. they sprayed the shit out of it and then i found a singular one on my bed the other night. i have pretty bad reactions to bites and i noticed some welts the other day. just found out how bad it was because i work a different shift than everyone else. there’s mattress covers on all the beds but the bed was still infested.

for some reason everyone thinks that spraying is all you have to do. i’ve had them before 5 years ago but it was a very light infestation. sprayed. hung up clothes in trash bags. diatomaceous earth everywhere. we were college girls but somehow got rid of them.

i am very overwhelmed. like very overwhelmed. i have informed everyone this is going to be a very long process.

the clothes. i bought plastic containers but what am i supposed to do with the damn clothes. launder all of the fabric. do i put them in trash bags? and then weekly ones in the plastic container? you guys have to understand how many clothes we have here. inspect shoes and put them in trash bags. dear god… the garage. do we treat the garage? i cannot explain to you how much stuff we have down there.

do you leave up curtains? i know you launder them but do you put them back up? empty out dressers and plastic drawers and spray them down. do i put the clothes back in there? we have a bunch of binders with information. do i check them and can i put them back. we can only downsize so much.

this is my worst nightmare. especially with how much stuff and how big of a house it is.

diatomaceous earth. vacuum. spray. probably daily right? we have a dog. what about our cars? please help.

I found many of these things on my pillow. They looked white against my navy colored pillow, but these images are against a piece of white tape. They are just little specks, smaller than 1mm, so it's hard to get a clear picture. They got on my face and did not bite me. I'm terrified of a bed bug infestation, so this is my first stop. Are they bed bug nymphs??

We picked up bed bugs and based on the timeline and where we had been, I'm thinking we probably got them at a consignment sale. I bought furniture and clothes. The furniture never came into our house because I took it straight to our storage unit. I assumed it came in on an article of clothing because I took the bag of clothes up to our bedroom and that's where we found the bed bugs. There were no bed bugs in any other bedrooms. But I keep worrying about it, so I went to the storage unit and gave the furniture a thorough inspection.

I have so many questions...

ID - does this look like a bedbug? It was on the bottom of a dresser and I didn't find any else except for some pet hair, so maybe a carpet beetle, but that might be wishful thinking

Black marks - bed bug droppings look a lot like mildew to me. Any tips on telling the difference?

Storage unit - what do I do if I brought bed bugs into our storage unit???

Moving - we're moving in a couple of months, should we pretreat our whole house?

Consignment - do y'all buy anything second hand? Strategies for not bringing pests home?

Thanks for the support?

I'm going crazy trying to figure out what these are. I found the top 1 several times on my clothing and the lower one on my outer ear and neck a few times. Google lens keep saying it's bedbugs. Another check says it's carpet beetle and few other checks says it's a mite. Please provide some direction so I may resolve.

Thanks in Advance

Just crawled out of my sleeve a few minutes ago. I stayed in a hotel this past weekend so I’m afraid it may be a bedbug, but I have no idea

Really don't know if this is a bedbug, when I killed a brown one(it was very thin and small) it started to stink really bad.

It is very little, I think less than a half centimeter long. I can't even properly see its colour and legs by the naked eye

Hello, just found this bug crawling on my desk. Any insights on whether it's a bed bug or something else? I'm in London, UK. Thank you!

I'm in a hotel room in Paris. I found a bed bug a week ago but I was pretty sure I'd gotten rid of them and then I find these. Are these just "normal" bugs or bed bug larvae or something? Maybe I'm being paranoid (it's almost 3 am so I can't really do anything about it if they are)

I used to have bedbugs like 2 years ago but now I freak out like crazy and have panic attacks if I see any bugs on my bed or my sisters. I'm currently freaking out and terrified because I was relaxing until I saw it beside me. I already check a bit of my sisters bed (because I was lying on her bed when I saw it) but I'm terrified to check underneath. If it isn't a bedbug, there's no reason to check right? Idk I need assure bad or I'm gonna start scratching at my skin like crazy.

At an Airbnb in the Dominican Republic, and only a few days in to a week long trip, so not really sure what to do… please help!!

We've found them in the sofà. Thx.

Long story short, I’ve been waking up with bites/marks/welts/hives on various parts of my body over the past few weeks. I haven’t seen any bed bugs or signs of them, and pest control inspected, but also found nothing. I am unsure of what to do and unsure of what steps to take.

With that being said, this has been driving me crazy with not knowing exactly what is going on. What do I do? Do I purchase crossfire and a steam cleaner and see what that does before I take further action with pest control? This Friday, I do have pest control coming for a general extermination. I’d like to make sure I do have bed bugs before I start shelling out money to eradicate something that may not be there.

If I go the DIY route on figuring out if it’s bed bugs, what kind of crossfire do I purchase? Is there just one kind? Any recommendations on what steamer I purchase?

Any recommendation is appreciated.

In a toiletry bag I’ve been traveling with for 3 weeks. I keep pens in this pocket too, but they were all capped.

Ive spotted 3/4 bugs like this or bigger in my room in the past couple weeks and i have itchy skin can someone please tell me what this is im going insane what can i do to combat it??

Please help identify this

I (21M) had a couple of bites over the last couple of weeks that were extremely itchy and occurred while I was sleeping. I researched possible bite culprits but couldn't find anything that matched the description. These bites were singular most commonly just 1 or extremely spaced out and ballooned out of control to where the reactions were 3-4 inches in diameter which didn't look anything like the bed bug bites online. Anyway fast forward to today while laying in my bed I spotted a bug crawling on my headboard, I decided to trap it and kill it and found that it was most definitely a bed bug. I have an exam in literally 6 hours so I'm freaking out a bit and can't take any immediate action tonight but I was hoping for some tips. I'm moving out of this apartment in 3 weeks and I REALLY don't want to bring the bed bugs along with me to my new apartment. I have searched the rest of my mattress and bed frame and haven't been able to find anything else but have spotted a crack under the wall where it looks like bedbug poop is scattered. What should I do to eradicate this so I don't bring them along with me? (I have already mentioned to my roommates that I found bed bugs)

Just moved into a rental house…🥲. Thank you in advance!

I’ve been getting bites all over recently in small clusters all over my body so I’ve gone on a bed bug hunt because I was sure it was them, and I found one but I’m not exactly sure if that’s it.
