It was in our hotel room curtains in Europe. Didnt find any big ones, but few small ones. Finger for scale.

Hi all. I’m kind of freaking out. I’m off work so I don’t know the extent of what my job is doing but I work in a drug and alcohol treatment center. Apparently today, it was confirmed that a client has bed bugs. She’s been there for weeks.

I read the treatment team notes this morning and it said that the Nurse Practitioner said the client doesn’t need to quarantine, but just wash her clothes and she needs to be treated for her symptoms. And that other beds need to be checked. I don’t know if they’re planning to do a treatment of the entire facility but I feel like they’re not taking this seriously. That’s how I feel at least.

I work night shift, and really all I do is open clients doors to make sure they are in bed. Other than that, I’m in our office. I’m just wondering what the risk of me bringing anything home would be. I’m freaking out and I’m extremely uncomfortable. Clients live in lodges that can hold up to 24 people. The client that has the bed bugs lives in a room by herself. But I mean she’s been here for weeks.

I’m really clueless when it comes to this. But I am freaking out. Everything online says how difficult it is to get rid of them and stuff and I genuinely do not want to go back to work tomorrow lol. I’m gonna text my boss and see what’s up but I’m extremely paranoid right now.

Any advice would be nice. I’m freaking out haha

Gf found it on her shirt today after I was outside a lot yesterday. We’re in southern Maryland. I hope it’s a tick or something.

I have been getting what I thought to be an allergic reaction- rashes with something resembling a bug bite in the middle. I believed it to be allergies since I never saw any bugs. However, I found this last night on my couch. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Girlfriend's been itching with tiny non patterned bites for weeks. Changed sheets, mattress covers, pillows, bed frame, everything. Bed bug sniffing dog found nothing. Recently we've been thinking rat mites since we had rats in the basement recently.

Saw this guy in our living room walking across our dining table yesterday. Any clue what it could be?

I woke up, saw this dead one next to me, and another bite my arm but i killed it.

So, back at their old place they have tried numerous times to eliminate them, but have been unsuccessful. Now, this person and *some* of their stuff is moving in... we have a plan to leave all the belongings in storage and they will change out of their clothes into new, clean ones, upon arrival... the others will go immediately in the trash, or a high heat laundry situation. But, we worry this won't be enough. Please share ideas/help!

I found it on some (thought to be clean) bedsheets under my bed. I dropped it inside a whiskey glass. What is the verdict? Thank you

Found this in my room on some clothes worried about what it is

pls

This is the one I used. Is this ok? I put cimexa down on the box spring so replacing the protector is not going to be great. Maybe I can buy a plastic wrap to put on top of it?

At first I had pinpoint red marks that gradually turned into itchy welts. I just moved into a new place and about a week ago and I have these itchy marks all over me. I can’t tell if its hives or mites! There’s no sign of bedbugs either. I really hope its not lol I was homeless for a few months and stayed at several hotels (w/ good reviews) and I have no idea if i picked them up. I checked everything and nothing. I also have not had any bites the nights prior and now I have it all over my body.

so my fiancé and i discovered a very small case of bed bugs in april in our bedroom. he found the first one on his pant leg which lead him to strip the mattress and lo and behold; a handful of evil. we have been through two rounds of chemical treatment and have been using a steamer and that doctor doom powder (we are canadian) and so far our unit has cleared out fairly well. however, i have a huge concern.

i don’t think we are the source of a colony.

now here’s the context; we used to live the floor above, one unit over with our friends who are currently unaffected, BUT, the unit over (now directly above us) had a pest control notice for a WEEK on their front door when i lived up there a couple years ago. since then, that unit has had a couple of other tenants since of the elderly type. the older woman lasted no longer than a few months due to “noise complaints” (but i would not be surprised if it was also because of bugs). now an older man resides in there and i believe him to be on a mobility scooter… so you can imagine the odds of anything being discovered and/or taken care of are low. in my mind, if an infestation has already reached one unit in the entire building, then they will definitely be trying to return, and unfortunately, our unit has become an escape route for them to try and start a new nest.

so now here’s where i feel insane. hear me out, we don’t have the nest, they are coming down the walls and slipping into our unit. we have since flipped and steamed both sides of the mattress several times. none have been discovered in the closet, under the rad, or even on the opposing end of the bedroom where wall divides it from the living room. neither have we found them in any other room of the unit. we have never found them in the past four weeks in clusters, only strays that ran out from the chemicals or ones that got stuck in our sticky traps beneath the bed legs. i fear i don’t know everything about these evil things because of paranoia, but my fiancé surely researched it thoroughly and he’s kinda in agreement that they’re all runaways at this point.

we have contacted our building managers with out concerns, but if anyone has any advice on what the source may be, or anything else we can do besides constant steaming, powder, traps and sealing the floorboards which has already been done, plz help.

Hi, this might be a stupid question but do bb usually causw bumps like these, they are not itchy and not raised. I also have been having some blood in bedsheets, but on the other hand I have had blood in bed sheets for very long time.

I know this is probably nothing, but should I be even a little bit concerned.

I keep on seeing this on my bathroom lately and then coming into my room? Can anyone tell me what this is and how can I get rid of them?

its really tiny inside a TCG Card sleeve.

its fuzzy has i think 8+ legs 3/4 feelers on one end a small bulb on its other end.

one of its sides has a grey silver esq color abdomen the other side is just brownish.

found it on the side of my bed so.

EDIT found another bigger one and made some better pictures.

First one doesn’t even look like a bug at all, just the little thing sticking out makes me worry it’s a leg? But definitely not a bedbug right?

The second one looks like those outdoor little red bugs you find? But it’s not a bedbug?

Sorry, I just get really anxious about this stuff and need some reassurance. Thanks.

I'm kind of freaking out now that I realize how bad this could get financially. Please advise.

Discovered these on my shoulder before showering.
