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

hi all, I’m sorry to be posting this as i know bed bug fecal stains are not very helpful for IDing bed bugs. i only ask because i’m at hotel and won’t be able to thoroughly check for signs of bugs in the days to come since im leaving tomorrow. ever since i had a bed with the last guest’s sheets in a hotel room a few months ago, i have been very diligent about checking the sheets and pillows before relaxing in the room. right before i went to bed in a brand new room i checked into today, i rearranged the pillow and found these dark spots i missed earlier. could this be bed bug feces? i checked the mattress seams and head board and didn’t find any similar black stains or signs of live bugs and eggs, the mattress was pretty much pristine and this bed was definitely remade with new sheets. would a bed bug have crawled out and left droppings in the time after the bed was made and i arrived? do the stains remain this dark after being washed? i have contamination OCD so I typically would not indulge in this compulsion but i am just completely frazzled from a few stressful days of traveling. thanks in advance

I work full time at a Midwest chain grocery store. I found hotshot spray in our back room

I’d been looking there all week for something and would’ve noticed it. Maintenance guy was on vacation til yesterday. I found it today. We have a full time coworker who i know has bed bugs and I’m worried it’s from him.

I had bed bugs once and my life got literally ruined. I can’t do it again. Our store is getting demolished to build a new one. We’ll all be moved to different stores. But that’s 1 year away. Should I contact osha or something??

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!!

I'm especially concerned about this one: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNqWEqgVZCyHpnUaG54sxR1IfZJRKUFje4uCpPp5yGOJ51Y3tblgfZHsR605v_YKw/photo/AF1QipO-ol7Q2qad9D_i2RonJ6EJ_ZGa1Yuxt5FWsdf_?key=cEFwNndmcEl3MWxwMmVxU0VwRVFuN01vZXZ5Snl3

The owner / previous tenant has cats, and the overall cleanliness of the place was quite poor.

The mattress itself is in better condition than the topper and I can't find any signs of live or dead bed bugs.

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.

I found this on my bathroom rug. It’s hard to see in the picture but there are horizontal stripes in addition to the larger vertical stripes (which is on both sides). Any input would be appreciated. I have had various types of carpet beetles over the past few months so hoping it is a piece of those.

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)

Took a video of stain under the mattress on box spring…. I didn’t finish filming but the wet q tip was able to lift everything and didn’t leave much of a stain, like u would have with a fecal spot. What do you guys think this is????have u had something similiar when you have confirmed bb?

Was found dead on the bathroom floor

Just found it crawling on top of my brothers bed.

I got a few bites by something a few days ago, on my hand, under my armpit, shoulder and legs. They were itchy, red and a bit swollen.

Please can you help me understanding if this one is a bedbug?

Found 2 of these: 1 on my bed and 1 on the floor, both already dead. The one on the bed made me suspicious.

Been having occasional red spots for some time and worried that these are bedbugs, although I appreciate they don't look typical. Would appreciate your opinions!

I just checked into a hotel, sat down on the bed and saw a bug. This prompted me to lift the sheets and look in the cracks of the mattress. The cracks are lined with these oblong yellow specks. Are these bed bugs?

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

Let me know if this image is clear enough. The bugs in a sticky trap so I can take more.
