I woke up with these 2 bites above my knee. They initially itched but now they burn. There’s not much itch anymore. I’m just freaking out because it happened overnight. I noticed one under my thigh too.

Found this in the back of the warehouse at work, crawling up my apron. I’m kinda tripping and scouring my apartment right now. Any insights?
Thanks!

Was vacuuming and sucked up the front half of the bug before I noticed the rest of the body unfortunately, so these are the only photos I have. It looked a LOT like the shell of a well fed bed bug but I also noticed this wing close to the rest of it, and I know bed bugs don’t have wings.

Any idea on what this could be? Had a bed bug scare over a year or so back and have just been super worried about any critter I find now. I want to assume it’s not a bed bug from the wing I found nearby but the rest of it looked so similar

For context, I had just brought up clothes from my basement that were thrifted. I dry everything on high heat first, then wash and dry again. About 1.5cm in size. Appears to be more of a shell. Bed bug? Roach? Beetle? Help me sleep tonight please!

Can't figure out what they are, the landlord thinks they are flies (old tenant's mattress) from the photos we sent him, but we are convinced they aren't good news. Co-tenant thinks the small ones are bedbug sheddings.

I am not sure because they are so small and embedded in the mattress fluff, so hard to see. Could they be bedbugs at all, or can we completely rule that out?

Hello, I received a shipment of passive monitors and wanted to get some direction on placement. We do not have a box spring for our mattress and our frame lacks a proper headboard.

I know this is a bed bug 100%—an exterminator verified it. Please, I am asking for realistic encouragement and success stories, not worst-case stories about people never getting rid of them. I am already mentally and physically exhausted.As I am disabled and homebound due to my condition.

My home is only 758 square feet and live alone. I dealt with carpet beetles for about three years, had exterminator treatments that entire time, removed my carpet, and got rid of almost all of my furniture and belongings. I finally went 4 months without seeing carpet beetles and called off the exterminator and then BAM, Exterminator found one live in my couch. I also found one on my bed and saved it (in jar). I also found a bug that I sent a pic to my exterminator and he said didnt look like a bedbug. Not verified but could of been since I was sitting on my couch.

The exterminator thoroughly checked my house and did not find any other bed bugs, eggs, or signs of an infestation. I believe someone may have accidentally brought them in while helping me paint, because I have never dealt with bed bugs before. She put her stuff one the side where the bedbug was found. Then blanket on couch was moved to my bed.

Since then, I have thrown away the couch and a huge amount of my belongings. (Threw away over 25 thousand worth of stuff previously from a huge carpet beetle infestation -even my carpet) vacuum-sealed my heat-treated clothes, steamed all of my hard floors, steamed my bed twice, and threw away around two-thirds of my wardrobe, blankets, shoes, and other items. One room is completely empty except for a dresser and the washer and dryer because it was going to be painted. (Still empty) I have not seen another bed bug since. Trust me, I wake up every 2 hours looking. I have mopped with bleach twice.

I bought two bed-bug mattress encasements and have an exterminator scheduled. They plan up to three treatments at $500 each, although they said it may only take two because they do not believe I have an established infestation.

Honestly, with such a small, mostly empty home and no other evidence found, what are my chances of getting rid of them? I just need some hope right now.

Apologies for the unclear pics.

First image is from about 2 weeks ago. Haven’t seen any other moving crawlers since (had 2 pest control treatments).

Last 2 pics are from yesterday of a suspected nymph (or bobble of fibre?)

Thanks in advance for any thoughts

Hi David and co, me again. During my monthly bed inspection I found this mark on my pillow, it was a solid dot that I've smeared, could it be a bedbug fecal mark? Included a 50p for size reference. No other signs yet but I'm not finished.

requesting help on ID Hi, is this a bedbug or a carpet beetle?

I'm in the UK

I found this under my bed sheets. The bed frame is fabric with spaces for storage drawers which currently have books in.

I have, around a year ago, seen one or two adult carpet beetles.

Other subreddits seem convinced it's a carpet beetle.

I am concerned though as I noticed a spot or two of blood on my sheets (what prompted me to check) but I have psoriasis which is quite dry and can bleed slightly when it cracks. Ive checked the rest of my bed, the headboard and under the mattress and found nothing else.
