Hi I found two bloodstains in my bed. One on my pillow and one in my sheet. On my pillow I also found parts of what seems to be an insect. A friend of mine has bedbugs so now I’m scared.

I was sitting on the couch in the hotel room and grabbed it off my shirt 😬 don’t have any bites or anything though. We spent two nights here.

know it's foggy but I remember it was a bit red with 6 legs. I don't remember if I seen antennas. I'm not sure what to do and I'm worried because I don't get on the bed after being outside so I keep the bedroom clean.

So i was staying at my friends for over a week and woke up to a bed bug crawling on me

2 actually

Flipped out

Put them in Tupperware

Took detailed photos and videos to be sure

And made a plan immediately as my friend seems to this he can just wait to deal with it.

All my things are in garbage bags as my friend is refusing to fix the problem

I made him wash all my clothing on hot and in the dryer for 30 mins and straight into sealed garbage bags and i put all my other few belongings in separate sealed garbage bags

I also showered and immediately changed into clean washed clothing after showering throughly and then placed the onesie I had worn in a separate sealed garbage bag as to avoid any if those bastards further hitching a ride on my clothing or beloningings hoping I can at least get away and salvage my dignity that way

and left the premises as soon as possible

Im going to rewash all the clothing at a laundromat in the exact same manner and am trying to figure out what to do with my belongings in the sealed garbage bags that are now in my dads shed as I have no where to go .

Any advice on what I can do further means a lot

as this has been devastating to me as I was evicted and had my new rental fall through a day before October 1st so this was supposed to be where I could be safe and sober while finding a new rental this month but I guess you make plans and god laughs or whatever the expression is

Ive been dealing with massive health issues on top of all my problems so I just need advice on handling the clothes and belongings that are sealed away in garbage bags in the shed.

Are these bedbug stains or just random grudge. They were on underside of duvet but not the top sheet. It’s midnight and I’m on my second room on a different floor after the first room has serious evidence.

I just got off a 10 hour flight and have work in 5 hours and can’t think straight anymore.

i found two or three of these so far all within the past week which i thought was really weird but it’s fall in new york so i just assumed they were bugs crawling in from the window (my bed right up is against the window) but i crushed one the other day and it was full of blood. i’m like 99% sure they’re bedbugs and i want to literally throw up right now holy shit. i’ve never had this happen before in my entire life and i know they’re notoriously IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of. but all three of them were found in bed (two on me and one crawling on the blanket)

me and the bf don’t have any bites so far which is weird?? and i’ve never seen them up until like 7-10 days ago. i also have NO clue how we could have gotten them either, we haven’t stayed anywhere else recently, didn’t bring anything home inside, no visitors really aside from my niece but she hasn’t sat on the bed. we do live in an 2 story apartment through and we have neighbors downstairs. ugh. someone please tell me that it’s wrong, i know right though huh :( idk what other kind of bug would have blood inside of it like that. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Are these bedbug droppings? I can see shells of bugs around it too. At first I thought it was an electrical issue but I noticed a few spots on the a/c that is plugged into it too. It almost looks like someone took a sharpie marker and put pokadots all over it. This is not close to my bed or anything fabric. I just purchased pillows from Home Goods and had them stored over here but washed the covers before using them on my couch. I also ordered a custom couch cushion from Amazon too. So a lot of new fabrics coming into the house. When I searched both the pillows and cushion I didnt find any droppings or bugs. I also dont see anything alive around this. I havent been itchy or noticed any bites. Nothing anywhere else in the house besides here. Im honestly really freaked out and have a phobia of bugs so trying not to blow this out of proportion if its nothing. Any advice would be appreciated.

So on the second night of our stay at an Airbnb, I noticed 2 tiny red bugs on my pillow after I’d been sitting in bed and came back from brushing my teeth. The host confirmed they’d found bed bugs about a month prior, sprayed 3 times, used heat treatment and replaced bedding/duvet/pillows (just not the mattress). I don’t have any obvious bites but the bugs were very red when we squashed them like they had fed. We saw maybe 5 bugs total on the entire bed and couldn’t draw more out with blow dryer heat on the mattress, nor were there signs of an infestation on the corners. I’m hoping it was the beginnings of the leftover eggs hatching and not a full blown infestation.

All clothes that came with me on the trip, including jackets and packing cubes were washed/dried on high heat. My hard case suitcase was stored on an elevated bench in the Airbnb but is outside baking in the sun for a few days. I have my shoes, a soft travel bag and purse out in the garage still, trying to figure out what to do with them whether it be dryer or steam. Nothing has really come inside the house yet. Am I right to think I will be able to do enough to prevent bringing them inside? Asking mostly for peace of mind here as I know no one will have the answer but I’m not sure I’m doing enough even though the infestation wasn’t in my own home.

I was traveling with two flight attendants who are totally desensitized to bbs and they felt it was about the best case scenario. I definitely feel better knowing it was only the nymphs and we didn’t find them anywhere else, but obviously don’t want to even slightly risk bringing them inside.

I've looked at so many pictures and I'm freaking out. I just can't be sure. It's larger than a quarter inch. I don't have any bites. There's no blood on my sheets. But I did find this bug walking on my bed.

Stayed at in airbnb in Reno, and I've been washing my sheets every few days. I've had some bites, but stopped the past couple of days. After line drying my sheets, I found this while putting them back on. Is it too small to be a bed bug? Could it be something else?

Thanks!

We stayed at a place in August and we found 1 live bug and exoskeletons. We left the day we found them. Please tell me we didn’t bring any home.

Found this one prancing on my desk in the evening. Looks exactly like a bedbug nymph to me, my nightmare since forever. Any chance at all it's something else?

There's an old mattress in the room we used for a few days after we moved into the place a few months back. It was stored in an empty house of our family's for years before. Back then, I checked the seams on it and could not find any bb evidence. Our actual bed (with a new mattress) is in the other, adjacent room.

Feeling sick right now.

What bug is this

i was folding laundry thats been sitting on my bed for a couple days, this guy just fell out, only bug ive seen. but i have been getting mystery bug bites at a friends house, ive seen no bugs or eggs there so far though

I am living at this apartment for 6 months now, I found out after a month about bed bugs and my landlord started bringing pest control team and no matter what they do it really doesn’t matter they do pop out of nowhere and I am really freaking out every single time I see there signs and bed bugs paranoia is 100% real. I didn’t see them around physically but I did see their feces on my bed and on top of my laundry bag. And I don’t see my landlord making efforts to bring in heat treatment.

Anyway I am finally moving out and I want to make sure I carry none of them Please help me I am sick and tired of asking ai that says different things every time.

I am going to toss out my whole bed and beddings, wardrobe and dresser, laundry bags and everything miscellaneous so that they can leave me alone for my entire life.

Nuvan strips aren’t available in Canada and idk if I should use other alternatives and if they’re effective as they are less concentrated.

I am going to heat dry all of my clothes and store them in to trash bags before moving out and put it somewhere away from my house.

I am concerned about my Pc tower, monitors, espresso machine and suitcase case and my belongings in the suitcase case, and stuff from the kitchen. I am definitely going to leave behind the cases of all electronics and move out without them I can bring in steam and vacuum all other stuff. I just wanna know how shall I bring my suitcase and electronics with 0 anxiety

Help! What would you do?

My parents had an infestation and one carried over to my home.

We had the infestation contained to one bedroom and we found the hotspot was the wooden bed frame. We tossed it, doused the entire room in some cleaner off amazon and haven’t seen a bug in over a month.

My parents are now tenting their home and insist i do the same. They say if i don’t get professional intervention, we aren’t welcome over to their home.

Would you tent it? Wait it out? Obviously, I’d love to save the money if i can. This has turned into quite the family drama and I’d love the opinion of the internet.

I assume he did some kind of treatment on the mattress itself but the encasement is just sitting there now. Should I put it back on? Or do I need to get a new one, or what? The actual mattress is badly stained, I don't think I want to sleep on it bare even when the bugs are all dead.

Found in the bathroom. If not, any ideas?

Came back from a trip and was getting bites. No feces or blood but found a little bug on my bag… hoping it’s not a nymph. It’s absolutely tiny also, maybe 1mm long at most

Some of these photos are of the same object either flipped to the opposite side or in different lighting. They are all a little hard and wouldn’t EASILY crumble in my hand if I tried to crumble one, I feel like. Are these from bed bugs???

Hi,

I'm currently concerned about bed bugs and found this under my mattress and it can only have appeared recently, as it wasn't there before.

It's fairly hard and I can't see anything that would suggest its related. No movement.

Unexplained black dots at hotel... no other signs. I checked the mattress yesterday and did not notice anything. Today, I noticed 3 small black dots on the comforter cover. I wet a cotton ball and tried to smear them but they remained unchanged. Thoughts?
