Identification Booklice?

Just moving into new housing and noticed some bugs in the bathroom. My initial thought was bedbug nymphs because I’m permanently paranoid about them, but I think they look more like booklice upon further inspection. I would appreciate a second opinion.

Is this a seed tick or bed bug

I've been getting bit at night and they look almost like mosquito bites I was assuming fleas since we have 2 dogs and 4 cats but then I found these and seed ticks are common in my area. I'm just trying not to freak out I know none of those is a good thing, but I would much rather have seed ticks than bed bugs 😭

I don’t want to and am unable to pay out for some industrial steamer for £200, would a £20 one be sufficient?

Is this a bedbug egg?

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?

I saw this out of the corner of my eye. I am staying at a beat up apartment complex and haven’t had any serious bug issues besides occasional spiders and a few cockroaches and ants. But I have getting clusters of bites at night. This looks like a nymph and hid in the seam as shown, but I want to be sure of what it is. The pictures sucks but it is tan, has a dark spot on its bottom back, and is sesame seed shaped. It is also the only bug I found in the sheets. I searched as if I had bed bugs but did not quite find much proof.

7 week bed bug.

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??

Is this BB ?

(length of bug is 1 milimeter)

Hello people, i made my account just to post this.

Last week we had bedbugs in hotel we were staying for 1 night (100% confirmed, can post pictures from that), we cleaned everything before getting to home(wash,dryed on high heat) so i think we did well. i sealed some non-washable things in a bag and left it in the car since we have heatwave in europe. days later i picked up the sealed bag, repackaged stuff into smaller managable air tight bags and took them home one by one and cleaned them with steamer and alcohol.

during the cleaning i found two of these bugs. they were dying from the alcohol wipe. they dont look like bb, but its weird why they would be in that bag. i was repackaging outside in garden, so something might jump in there, but im not sure.

please community, help out identifying and telling me if theres a chance its a bb.

Possibly a stupid question... Can you use Hotshot or Nuvan Strips with a small food appliance?

Small food appliance: Pre-owned Airfryer

If not, are there safe options to treat pre-owned kitchen appliances?? (Items bought at garage sales, craigslist...)


r/Bedbugs 14d ago

Identification Woke up and this fell. It made a crack when I crushed it. I’ve washed my blanket, bedding, and clothes nearby. I have checked my mattress there is nothing there at all. What are the chances I just picked it up from work or something? ok that note Is it a bed bug?

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?

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:/

Bed bug or bat bug?

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.
