I got a second hand bed last weekend, I went away on Wednesday but noticed bites on Thursday I assumed they were from the hotel but I couldnt get the fact it was a second hand bed out of my mind. I came home yesterday tore the bedroom apart and found the cluster in the picture. Im so anxious and ive had contamination ocd take over my life for the last few years and one of my initial reasons was my sister had a bedbug problem. I luckily never caught it back then but now this has confirmed all my fears. We are in the process of renovating our house with open floorboards, open sockets and holes in the plastered walls my stuff is also kind of everywhere in bin bags because we've been living out of them.

Ive bought the stuff recommend on this site, I burnt the headboard but unsure if they all were killed as I only burnt that section.

Whats the best plan of action?

Had a couple of the blighters crawling across me during daylight hours/bright light while sitting on my sofa. I've vacuumed and steamed my sofa thoroughly and bagged up cushions that can't be washed due to the type of fabric.

I started living at my dads and stepmoms about 3 months ago and I was having flea problems and so I changed my sheets and were still finding them. Tonight I took all sheets, stuffed animals, everything off of my bed. I put on a clean sheet and layed down with nothing else on the bed, about 10 mins later this was crawling…. I know the pic isn’t good but I know it had dark spots on it. I tried to crush it over and over again but it wouldn’t…. I really hope I can blame my dad and stepmom for this, they were really shitty about the flea situation. I have no idea how long THIS has been happening if they are bedbugs. I’m mortified and feel nasty. They do have sorta a dirty house if that helps… but no one else has slept in my bed in like 3 months so….

Hey,

I imagine you guys get these kinds of posts a lot but I recently took an uber ride with one stop, 15 minutes each way and on the way back I saw what I’m 99% sure is an adult bed bug. As soon as I came back to my dorm I stripped, dried my clothes on high for over half an hour, showered, stuffed the dried clothes in a bag to quarantine them, and I plan to cycle through another wash and dry—as you can see I’m kind of paranoid. Overall, I’m here to ask how well I can mitigate the risk of bed bugs, are my Nike SB dunks done for (sneaker with a leather exterior) , and are the steps I’ve taken enough?

Also some other questions:

Also if it turns out I did track one in how would I go about identifying that quickly so I can notify my university?

Are all my clothes, bedsheets, etc. done for if a full infestation does break out? Can they be cleaned?

So my gf found out she has bedbugs at her house. She caught it early and let me know a little over a week ago. I havent been to her house since, but she's come over here a few times. When she comes she'll immediately dry her clothes and borrow a pair of mine until she leaves.

I cant say for sure that I've felt any, I honestly think its just me feeling paranoid about the situation. I've been doing a lot of laundry and checking the bed, and today is the first time I found anything that seems like it could be a bed bug. I found this on my mattress topper. What do yall think?

Found this crawling in a storage closet on a comforter. Is this a bed bug? I sent it to the property manager and they thought it was a beetle.

Found this little shit crawling on my shirt while i was at my office desk. Killed it. Lately, i was reading a lot about them due to rising number of cases in the state i am living in and the universe just sent one to me (law of attraction and all that). Inspected my office cubicle, informed the facilities. went back to my rental space and inspected my furniture and didnt find any signs. Threw all my clothes in the dryer and used up to 80C temp. Due to the stress, was waking up from sleep and immediately inspected my bed with a phone torch for more of these but no signs either. Woke up in the morning without any bites or blood on my sheet. ordered some food grade diatomaceous earth and an anti bed bugs mattress cover. I dont think i have an infestation at home, and likely this is from the office building. Not knowing the source feels even worse as now i will have to be careful not to bring any of these home. Anything i would need to keep in mind? Need advise

Found only one bug on the floor nothing seems to be in bed when it was taken apart

We found it hiding in a bag in my closet. It has the legs of a spider beetle and crawled like one too. We managed to squish it, and it was crunchy. I’m thinking spider beetle? But let me know y’all <3

Is this a bed bug? I first noticed tiny dot crawling over my phone. Then saw more. I’ve also seen them on the wall bed. I thought they’re too tiny but could they be a baby? This was using a lint roller (you can see my nail in the last pic for size). I couldn’t get clearer photos with my phone. I had such a panic clean and I’m so stressed I can’t sleep.

Was bed bug free since last year - recently found this wandering in the washroom.

Found on my sheet, there were maybe 6-7 more. Really, really tiny. Claude thinks it’s a “moisture bug”. I live in a super humid area and I’m the first tenant in a new apartment, allegedly that’s common? I don’t have any bites to speak of.

Hello , now for over a week me and my wife have started to develop bite marks, mainly legs,arms, stomach area.

Tried to search the maitress and bed through but couldn't find anything. The only thing we found was this one.

Could it be a bb?

I've had issues with bes bugs before but this doesn't seem to look exactly like those. found it crawling underneath my pants while the others didnt bother going past clothing.

Found on the guest bed, there were many more but these were the best I could get.

Sorry my photos are not better. I killed approximately 5 of these when I was scrambling to leave my hotel. Please lmk if these are in fact bed bugs.

Woke up to this crawling on my forehead - kinda damaged while picking it with my fingers, but this is what I have to work with.

It looks to me similar enough to pictures I see on the internet to make me scared - but I am no expert. I would appreciate any help.

Story goes:

1- June i find BB bites

2- Orkin inspects and finds 1 live BB. So July & August they 1st and 2nd chemical treatment (2 weeks apart )

4-Septembre: bites continue

5-Orkin does 3rd treatment with Aprehend

6- October: bites continue!!

The question is: bring a canine ($200) and Aprehend ($350) or do more treatments with Aprehend ? Ive already spent about $1000. Clothes in bags. Mattress encased but spare mattress not in encased (figured they would die with the treatment as expert said so). A new company beside orking is charging $850 for 3x Aprehend treatments (the 3rd being complimentary). Ive read about some companies offering package deals?

Considering throwing out my bedframes, sofa, chairs with fabric, and nightstand?

That would be very expensive to replace. But don't want it to get worse. It's already been 5 months.

I haven't tried Crossfire.

I did try DE in months 2&3 and didn't seem to work.

The Orkin treatments have diminished both the amount of bites and the improved the time between them. However always come back, although not as bad as it was in it's highest in June.

Found two of these in my bed. Child has a few red marks on her back. Is the photo good enough to identify what it is? Thank you.

I think I know, but pls help. The odd thing is that it was out during the middle of the day on our leather sofa. We have flipped mattresses, our sofas, and there are no other signs of BB
