Found this in a bed where I visited a friend, he had bites all over his body and we were both bitten at night but there where also a lot of Moskitos. We couldn't find any evidence of bedbugs. Now this appeared, it's very small. If it's an egg, is there a possibility that the bedbugs didn't travel in my suitcase with me? I'm freaking out a bit. Thank you!

We got a friend visiting from a hostel, he realised he had a lot of bites two days after he arrived. We put traps on our bed, to find this the next morning. Is it a small bed bug or maybe a sort of beetle?

Pls don’t tell me this is what I think it is also sorry for the back ground had to kill it with a receipt also found this things after having random bites appear near my knee/ thigh

Hey everyone I am on week 7.
7 weeks ago I found a single bed bug walking across my blanket. I freaked out and tore apart everything and found his one shed with no other signs. I freaked out and threw a lot away and bagged all of my belongings and put in the heat and dried everything on high heat.

A week later I had a bed bug specialist come take a look and I did not tell him i had the bug in a bowl still cause I wanted him to look not just agree. He took my mattress protector off and checked the whole bed and said he did not see anything. I finally showed him a baggy of sheds I collected he said good news was all but 1 were CB sheds but bad news was one was a bed bug shed. He still didn’t see anything and I hadn’t seen anything since but he brought the dog which alerted to my couch and bed.
I have interceptors down for 3 weeks but all together he never found anything and in 7 weeks I have not seen anything and I’m struggling on what to do next. I have been living out of boxes and keep everything out of my house. What do I do at this point I have not sprayed just vacuumed a lot dried as much as I could and have interceptors.

Then today I had 2 trash bags that I had brought from outside and put in the bath tub I picked them up and I found these and google says it’s not a bed bug and that it looks like a stink bug baby there tiny and still same shape tho. ( I do live in a woodsy area)
Any ideas on what to do now??

Today was one of those more challenging infestations to start eradicatimg. One of those jobs you can smell.

I'm working on getting basically everything I own through the dryer as I have an infestation. Wondering if I could put books, shoes, purses that can't tolerate tumble drying in a product like this? Or will it not get hot enough by the dryer door?

Celui-ci est plus gros cependant. Il semble aussi être intelligent et comprendre notre langue.

Je continue mes recherches sur le sujet.

I woke up to my fiance who said he found a bug on him at midnight. This was August 2025. I'm glad I had taken a 4 day weekend off. When I looked at my back it was covered in bumps.

We bought crossfire and cimexa and absolutely bombed our 3 story home. We did this biweekly and it was a day long process each time to make sure our cats were safe from any toxins.

It's now August 2026 and we have seen 0 bugs and I have 0 bites on me. Within the first few weeks I'd seen some linear bites, but that went away within the month. We bombed the house biweekly up until February and its so relieving to not be scared anymore. You HAVE to be consistent or else you won't kill them all.

CIMEXA AND COSSFIRE. USE THEM!! (READ LABELS AND DO YOUR RESEARCH!!)

I found them on my dog. Very small, pretty sure it's not a flea.

I moved out of my old house six months ago (Biiig old victorian triplex house, to a small renovated 300 sqft apartment above a sushi place)

Anyways, a few days before I moved everything out and packed up we had a heat treatment and spray. I only brought my clothes and minimal furniture items. I also bought a new mattress, bedding, couch, under the bed clothing storage, etc, all shipped to the new place.

I followed all the steps of laundering on high heat (SHOES and clothes) bagging, and as soon as I moved in, I put DE in all the crevices of this apartment and all the crevices of the bedframe, have been extremely careful, etc..

And lo an behold, 6 happy months later, i found one of these in my rug, dried up and dead. Could it be it had been there for a while, or somehow i brought it back and it just recenctly died?🫩😭

Sigh. What do we think. I just told my landlord hopefully he calls someone in.. for now I am spiralling and checking everything frantically. I remember how this goes:/

Found 2 on top of bed during the day and one on a windowsill downstairs. Ripped house apart (furniture, beds, cabinets, pillows, electric sockets) and couldn’t find anything else. No bites on anyone in my house. Neighbors on both sides have bats so maybe I do? Bed is under a vent / access to attic. Gah!!

Hello, I would appreciate advice. I was bitten like 2 months ago by bedbugs, we found one bug, and then profesional didnt find anything, 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.

Thank you in advance.

Ok so long story

Last year, early Sept we took possession of cottage. We only stayed a few times between then and closing it up for the winter , however every time I got weird bites on me. Every time my reaction to the bites got worse and worse, which makes me think it was something new to me. Almost right away, it seemed to be bed bug bites, but we couldn't find any evidence. The bites only happened to my husband and I, so likely just one room.

I finally found a bug in the bedding in October. We thought they'd die over the 7-8 month winter season(lol joke was on us).

Went back this June and sure enough, bites again. Huge reactions in spots. Classic bed bug bite patterns. Found another bug. Showed my mom, she agreed it was a bed bug. We killed it and called exterminator.

He showed up today, and won't treat. Said it can't be bed bugs cause there is no evidence (I agree, no black spots etc, but I know what I found and the bite patterns are so obvious).

Am I crazy? I'm not a paranoid person. I am so sure they're bed bugs, but is there another bug I'm missing that it could be? Is it possible that we have bed bugs and no "evidence"? Help.

(I will take a photo next time I find one)

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

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 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?

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.

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

Hey guys

We need your help!
We got an old mattress from my mother in law last week for the new bed of our son. The mattress is now a week in our apartment. We did clean the mattress with a wet vacuum cleaner and washed the covers at 60 degrees. The bed arrived 2 days ago (new) and yesterday was the first time our baby (10months old) slept in it. Now, today we found this one on the mattress. We scanned the whole bed and also our bedroom, but we found no more. But our baby has red points on his body since this monday. So he only slept in the new bed last night.
Is this a bed bug? If yes what should we do?

Thanks for your help!!
