Bedbug droppings? Please help

Thumbnail

Upvotes

I deep-cleaned my room and only after did I realize I have some bites on my body.

This bedsheet had been washed already. I'm wondering if these might be droppings? Do they stay black after wash?

Some stuff:

- I have a couple of clustered bites. They're on my thighs and arms.

- I have not spotted any bed bugs at all.

- I have not seen any skin sheddings.

- I already inspected my mattress and bed frame thoroughly and I found nothing. Vacuumed them too.

- I took out all my furniture in my room and put my clothes in plastic bags.

I'm just looking for other signs. I'm still checking for them but I feel like I'm going insane

We have not found any live bugs we only checked out place because friends of ours have an infestation and we have visited. These were on the mattress and on a pillow that was under the bed

What should I do?

Upvotes

I got back from a 10 day trip to Iceland on Thursday (Aug 27th). Got sick and also started noticing a pattern of itchy spots on my legs on the 29th, which got really bad on the 30th and 31st. We were in a roof top tent with a mattress pad for most of the ten days, aside from two nights in an Airbnb where my friend said she didn’t see bed bugs, and one night in a hotel on the 26th where we forgot to check.

After the rash became really bad (it is not on both legs, buttocks, lower back, and a little bit on my elbows and forearms) I realized it is most likely that I was bit on the trip. There are absolutely no signs of bed bugs in my home now. I would really like to avoid throwing all of my stuff away. What should I do?

Edit/Also:
The person who stayed at my place to watch my cat has no bites, neither does my boyfriend who stayed with me the night after the night I got home. So I’m pretty certain my apartment did not have them prior to the trip

Bedbugs night 2 but not night 1?

Upvotes

Stayed at a hotel In Amsterdam. Night 1, slept and woke up with no problems. Night 2, just an hour after going to bed woke up covered in about 6 bedbug bites. Got out of bed and saw at least 5 adult bedbugs crawling around. Immediately notified management and got the hell out of that hotel. Does anyone have any ideas why they didn’t bite us night 1?

I inspected every crevice and see nothing that would make me think there is bedbugs or anything bug like. It could just be dirt.

I should note I’ve recently been bringing in bouquets of fresh cut dahlias and they usually bring some little critters into my apartment. He was about the size of two chia seeds.

I’m so scared rn. I don’t think it’s a bedbug but now I’ve scared myself into needing reassurance about it. There was only one and I tore my whole bed apart for more, checked underneath and everything.. washed all blankets and such. Only this one. Any idea what it is?? :(

антисептик сможет их всех убить? мне страшно. я видела пару таких скоплений в достаточно доступных для меня местах, но боюсь, что они могут прятаться там, куда я не смогу добраться.. мне страшно. я наклеила двухсторонний скотч на ножки раскладушки на которой сплю, но боюсь что ничего не спасет от этих тварей. так то они не особо тут ползают но одного видела. может есть способ не дать им себя покусать хоть какое то время..

I have to travel and sleep in hotels for 3 weeks straight for work. Any tips for avoiding bed bugs when my hotel options will be limited? Im worried I wont have the option of just checking out and finding a new hotel or sleeping in my car.

My husband found a widely advertised brand it comes up in the first thing on google, I can't remember it right now. It's 30 for one. We have a studio so it's all we need, they dont go in the kitchen or bathroom. Has anyone had success with these? Bombing didn't help and the mattress cover is kinda abating them but im still getting bit. It's affecting my depression disorder. I am covered in bites and Dr has me worried about cellulitis. We washed everything too . They don't get on my husband. And it's only one side of my body really . I need help so bad. Please before I go actually off the deep end. The creams I was prescribed help a bit but I'm so sad.

yesterday morning, i woke up with rashes on one of my arms and shoulders. last night i checked under my mattress and found four of these bugs under the mattress, on my bed skirt. they were kind of spread out and not bunched up in one place. i got rid of the bugs along with bed skirt, mattress cover, bed sheets, and pillowcase last night.

i checked the entire mattress topper, the actual mattress seams, and pillowcase seams and they were all clean. i am so scared. Unfortunately, this is the only picture i have because i was too scared.

Felt something weird on my hand after taking a nap on the couch.

It's really tiny; just a tad wider than an armhair.

Didn't think to get a picture of it on my hand as I instantly wanted distance.🫠

Hi,

Like the title says we're on vacation and it's possible there are bedbugs in the apartment where we are staying. What are the best measures to take when we arrive home to be sure we don't infect our home. Thanks!

I found those 2 armors in bathroom. I am afraid those could be bed bugs. Those are 6 and 8mm long
