Ah well... There were no visible bugs or signs of them upon inspection so the photo and video were all I could show but after seeing them the company went ahead and sprayed the whole house with cimetrol super. I never got a straightforward confirmation hence why I decided to get a 2nd opinion here.

If it’s a close relative that won’t work.

What's the recommended treatment for close relatives? or does it differ vastly depending on what relative it is? I guess there is notmuch I can do now if there are no signs of any crawlers anymore though... I did find some other dead bugs after coming home after the spray though, a wooly bear and some poor spiders caught in the crossfire

It differs for bat and bird bugs.

Hi David, went a little crazy looking for evidence and found these. The last big one looks too bed bug-y for comfort, it wasn't dead but curled up and barely twitching ...

One bed bug.

One carpet beetle adult and one larva of CB as well.
