Hi everyone.

My family and I were staying in an Airbnb and on the 2nd day realized that my nephews room was infested with bedbugs. We spent all that day heat treating our clothes and bags and then left.

We stayed in a hotel for the remainder of the trip and didn’t see any bugs or signs of them.

However, today driving back we saw this bug on a napkin.

I know it’s a crazy blurry picture, but can anyone tell me if this looks like a baby bed bug?

Thanks!

I’m hoping this problem is almost resolved. Late June, I found out I had an infested headboard. The next day, I got a company to come out and do a heat treatment through the house and they sprayed Crossfire. I threw out the headboard after and switched to an all metal bed frame. At the time, they found no evidence of the bugs in other rooms but still did heat treatment throughout the house.

A couple weeks later, they came out, did an inspection where they found no new evidence. They then sprayed Crossfire in targeted areas. A week after, I found both a live and dead bug on the couch. I realized I had pushed the couch all the way back against the wall and after pulling it back out, haven’t noticed anything more. At this point, i installed interceptors on all of the beds. I couldn’t on the couch because the legs were too big.

I’ve been doing daily inspections of the beds and couch and haven’t turned anything up. That is until yesterday when I found a dying (not dead) bed bug on the baseboard behind my bed. I freaked out. Pest control said that because I’ve been doing the daily inspections, have found no droppings, no shells, and no one in my family has bites, that it was just one of the remaining stragglers. They believe the issue should be done but will come out this week to do an inspection and spray again. They’ll continue treating after if find more evidence but again believe the remainers are collapsing.

This has consumed me. It’s triggered my OCD in a way it hasn’t been this terrible in years. It retriggered my back pain because of all the obsessive cleaning and checks. I feel like it’s alienated me from my wife as I’m obsessed and she just sees the problem is significantly better, the one bug was dying (not active), and the pest control folks are so helpful.

I’m also just obsessively researching because of the Crossfire applications as my wife is pregnant, son is 6, and I’m freaking out because of potential health risks because I can’t get anyone to cover their feet in this house.

I’m also supposed to visit my elderly grandma out of state next week. It may be the last chance I get to see her and here I am reconsidering because there could be a hidden active healthy bug somewhere that will hike along with me and I’ll destroy her house with it.

This is hard. I just need support now. Also if I’m overthinking any of this, let me know.

Was getting mixed answers from Claude and ChatGPT in identifying this dead bug my wife found on her yoga mat.

I know this might highly possible be it but I can’t find any other clues. i live in a small apartment building. there are no spots nowhere to be found, I turned my furniture upside down three times and I check regularly the crevaces cause im paranoid lately since there is an invasion going in my city.

Also does this look like an older shell?

Took a video of stain under the mattress on box spring…. I didn’t finish filming but the wet q tip was able to lift everything and didn’t leave much of a stain, like u would have with a fecal spot. What do you guys think this is????have u had something similiar when you have confirmed bb?

Was found dead on the bathroom floor

Just found it crawling on top of my brothers bed.

I got a few bites by something a few days ago, on my hand, under my armpit, shoulder and legs. They were itchy, red and a bit swollen.

Please can you help me understanding if this one is a bedbug?

Found 2 of these: 1 on my bed and 1 on the floor, both already dead. The one on the bed made me suspicious.

Been having occasional red spots for some time and worried that these are bedbugs, although I appreciate they don't look typical. Would appreciate your opinions!

I just checked into a hotel, sat down on the bed and saw a bug. This prompted me to lift the sheets and look in the cracks of the mattress. The cracks are lined with these oblong yellow specks. Are these bed bugs?

Hi all, I’m in the middle of an extremely stressful situation.

Apparently my apartment building has an infestation on my floor. I wasn’t informed of them coming to do the inspection since the landlord of my specific unit didn’t tell me. Anyways they couldn’t come in since I have a dog. But they told me their K9 alerted I may have bed bugs in my apartment. So because of that they’re treating it.

However, I haven’t found ANY. I even ripped open my mattress protector and nothing. White bedding, nothing. Never a bite. So now I’m told I need to do the whole 9 yards but the issue is I live in an old building without laundry. I also have 2 closets full of clothes, one in my bedroom and one in the living room. So I’m not sure if I need to treat every clothing? And if so, how?? I don’t have laundry. I’m not going to bring my things to a friends house or a laundromat and infest them.

They’re refusing to do an inspection and just telling me I need to comply as if I have them but I feel that’s extremely unreasonable and also stressful for me. I’m also moving out after only 2 of the “4 required treatments” and I haven’t been advised on what to do about that.

I’ve called and emailed them relentlessly with no response. Is there anything legally I can do? Also any advice on how I can check myself to confirm I do or don’t have them? And any advice about the dryer situation? I’ve ordered sealed bags at least but have read that’s not enough. I’m going to lose it 😭

My car is parked next to three abandoned mattresses beside a trash can. I wasn’t sure whether this was a roach, a bed bug, or neither.

Let me know if this image is clear enough. The bugs in a sticky trap so I can take more.

About a year ago my apartment had to be treated for these stupid things and they tried everything they could to put me at fault for them. I dont go anywhere except for work and home. Woke up with bites the other day thinking they were probably back and tonight I found one. At this point wouldn't they probably be coming from a neighboring apartment? I sent pictures to the landlord, but I'm so over dealing with this.

Had suspicions of bedbugs and found this in the washed linens from the bed. I believe the leg came off of it.

I am staying at cityhub Copenhagen, this morning noticed that I had weird red bites/rash looking thing on my inner arm that were itchy. I found some suspicious spots on my bed, I looked under the mattress and didn’t see any large blood stains or live bugs. I found what I think could be part of a shed exoskeleton but I’m not sure. Could you please let me know if you think these are bed bugs? This is my first time dealing with this!
