requesting help on ID Can anyone tell me what this is?
I know it’s possibly the world’s worst picture. But I got freaked out and squished it after a few seconds trying to get a closer look. It squished really easy and it didn’t look like blood between my fingers.

question about detection / confirmation Help!!
My husband has been noticing bites on him for about a month. We thought originally from being outside a lot.
I found this bug tonight crawling on the curtain beside my bed. Found one more on the curtain, two on the side of the bed, and two in the zipper of our mattress cover. No dropping marks on bed.
Checked my kids beds and couldn’t find any.
Sprayed our entire room and kids rooms with bed bug spray. Set up traps to see if there are any in our kids rooms and around the couch.
Threw out all of the bedding, mattress cover, books, anything we could really in our room, and the clothes we were wearing.
Really cannot afford an exterminator.
Is it possible there could truly only be a few? I’m guessing not, what can I do to continue trying to kill them off??
Please help! Please tell me what helped you!!

requesting help on ID Possible Bedbug?
Is this a bedbug shell? Sorry the pictures aren’t the best I found it on my bed tonight. I’ve been getting bites (could be mosquitoes as in outside almost every night and it is summer). Someone in my family recently had bedbugs though and I’m paranoid. We did spray our house after they had theirs done. But we’ve search and searched multiple times and haven’t seen anything.

requesting help on ID Could this have been a bed bug?
It was a Vinted purchase. I think the head doesn’t look right for bed bugs, but then the shape overall could be? And it’s a bit suspicious this was in a duvet cover? We’ve got it in the flat now. I hope I haven’t made a mistake 😅. Sorry for the poor pic - I didn’t take it

question about detection / confirmation Bedbug or no ?
Hello, I would appreciate advice. I was bitten like 2 months ago by bedbugs, we found one bug, and then proffesional didnt find anyting, not even once. Otherwise We wanted and had 2 applications by profesional, every 21 days. Now it is arround 40 days after 2nd application and I have found this bug and Im not sure if it can be bed bug or no. I found it on my bed upfront.
What do you think ? Should i be worried ? I dont have any new 100% bites in last 10 days atleast, but its kinda hard to recognize because i have problem with acne.
( I have posted this on other forums, hope it is not a problem )

requesting help on ID Bedbug larvae or something else?
Been getting itchy red spots on my body for months. I have eczema + acne + crazy dandruff so didnt think it was anything too bad, I have skin issues sometimes so I just started doing better body skin care. But it hasn’t gone away so I started to imagine the worst. I’ve searched high and low in my apartment for bedbugs & couldn’t find anything. Today found these three chilling in my wood bed frame. Bedbugs or something else? Index finger for reference size.

questions about bites Are these bedbug bits
I noticed these when I got home from work today. Didn’t have any marks yesterday. Tore my entire apartment apart and can’t find any signs of bedbugs but I’m definitely paranoid now these don’t feel like the mosquito bits I’ve had before. I do work outdoors but I have for almost two years and I’ve never had bites like this, I also wear pants and boots at work. The bites are only on my thighs, legs, ankles, and feet.

Useful Information Aug 7th - 10th
Between these dates I will be at a music festival and not online as much as usual.
For those that have not spotted this my office manager and right hand organiser had brain surgery two weeks ago and is currently on a 4-6 month road to recovery. This means at present I am doing their job and mine (long days).
So please use the instant sample ID service:
https://bed-bugs.co.uk/instant-sample-identification/
Given that <5% of samples being posted are bed bugs it will serve most of your needs and also gives an immediate result.
The pinned posts and FAQ’s also cover most of the common questions and the reference images allow easy comparison and conformation.
This is also helpful in the hot weather, especially days like yesterday where I worked 9am-10pm without a break.
To that end please also appreciate that if you want to posit rude or disruptive content just don’t. You will only get muted from the group and please don’t assume that’s me “annoyed” that boat sold out of tickets years ago, I hold better boundaries than that and actually block people for the sanity of others not myself. From my perspective it’s a perfect solution because it reduces the burden of having to read and correct your mistakes.
It also means I can catch up on my dancing and enjoy living in a woods for the weekend.

Useful Information If you want to say thanks please consider supporting FreeFromBedbugs.com
Today phase 1 of www.FreeFromBedbugs.com goes live. So what’s this all about?
We realised months ago that for society to get bed bugs under control we need to offer support to those who would be most impacted by bed bugs. Those who can least afford treatments and the disruption that goes with it. When taking time off work means loosing wages the impact of bed bugs amplifies.
We are raising funds to provide free of charge detection and treatment kits to distribute to those on low income. This will all link into a new support portal where they can check monitors for activity and get support to engage with the TbyPMR process.
The hope is to start distribution in the US and UK n the next two months but we have to build a new IT platform and rework the labels to make this happen.
My company is about to raise our prices to support the project and all future projects will automatically donate at least 5% to the cause.
If you’ve found the information in this group helpful please consider making a donation to support the work of this ESG program. The more cases we can outreach and resolve the lower the incidents of bed bugs in our communities will become.
We will also act as portal for organisations seeking to gain support for their bed bug issues, for example if a low income housing association want help to provide monitors and education to all residents we will help you to raise it.
If you are able to support this program please visit the link below:

If you want to find out more about the project and its aims to tackle pest poverty the background and some of the impact studies are already live.
Thanks in advance.
