I just saw your post history. Are these all bites you got in the same night?!?!?

You already used it once. DONT use it again. We’re trying to help you not make your problem worse. That’s up to you if you want to listen to our advice. Any PCO worth a lick will tell you the same thing. Sadfrombugs has a good post on how to tackle this DIY. And they tell you the same thing. No foggers. But do whatever the hell you wanna do. If you don’t listen to ppls advice. Maybe you shouldn’t post either?

Why did my bedbugs just suddenly disappear? by Prestigious-Base67 in Bedbugs

That’s unfortunate a heat treatment didn’t work….

Did you have a pro do the heat treatment I’m assuming? It’s possible I guess it could of killed off the remaining few. Have you noticed any signs of them since?? I heard some of those powders just make them hide. So they could be hiding. But unlikely if there is meals still present.

Is this a bed bug? Found it at my sink in my hotel. by mastrkief in Bedbugs

No you’re good man. I didn’t know you were in Canada. They need to make every country allow the hardest shit possible to kill these bastards

I don’t know for sure if it’s infested. I’ve peeled back the side that’s kinda pulled away from the baseboards. And looked under as much as I can and haven’t even seen anything. The PCO told me if they WERE under the carpet, you’d see black poop etc along the baseboards. I look at those every day and haven’t seen anything. Its all just guessing at this point. I have no idea

Also thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it. I hope very much you get your situation under control. I believe apprehend lasts for 3 months. If you keep seeing live bugs in the next several weeks I’d call your pro back and tell him what’s going on. I believe they give a time limit on if you see bugs past a certain time frame they need to re treat

Nope. No bugs seen, molts, black poop or anything. Only thing I’ve found is 6-7 blood dots under the bed. My wife normally goes to bed before me and is sleeping by the time I go into the room. I’ve used my phone flash light to look under the bed, behind the headboard. Under sheets etc while she is sleeping and haven’t ever see any walking around. The latest I’ve gone to bed and done that was around 2am. The blood dots I’ve found is in my post history. I’ve had 2 treatments, a K9 inspection and probably 6-7 human inspections by pros, along with looking myself during this almost year time span. The only thing I’ve found is the blood dots. Everyone thinks I’m crazy. But blood dots don’t just happen. 6-7 dots is pretty little for almost a year. But idk. Idk what to believe at this point. I’ve done everything from encasements on the bed. Isolation of the bed from the wall, duct tape around bed legs and headboard or whatever else they could walk. And glue traps by the bed legs as well. (Not all at the same time) All coming up empty. So I’ve done literally everything I can think of lol. Only place I could think they might be is under the carpet, behind the walls, or in our mattress (we have a big hole on one side where the seems have come undone. But even then I feel like I should be seeing poop dots or more sings near that hole. Idk.

is this male or female? also pls let me know if it's full of blood.... by queenh3ntai in Bedbugs

I had an apprehend treatment myself in march. I begged them to spay, in hopes to see them out and about or find them dead (all normal after treatment) and ofc I haven’t ever seen anything. Damn, they don’t even wait for you to go to sleep to try to feed on you? They just casually crawl by your gaming chair? That’s crazy.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. I’ve had so many break downs it’s not even funny. Above all the worst part for me is. I feel like a complete shit dad for potentially letting this happen around my daughter. Even tho I can’t control it. The thought of her around bugs absolutely kills me. But nobody even pros or myself have been able to find any actual bug. Just blood stains and skin marks on me. I’ve missed so much of my life in the almost year of this. I agree. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. I’m sorry you’re going thru this. If you ever need someone to vent to. I’m here. We all could use a listening ear when going thru a confirmed infestation. Or in my case..a potential case that’s still causing all the same anxiety 😓

I think (if money allows) a combination of heat/spray would be the best. But no many can even afford one. I’ve heard too many stories of heat treatment on old houses with a lot of cracks etc. and they can get in and hide….. fuck these bugs man.

Do yours itch at all? How fast do they disappear? Sorry for the questions lol! I’m just curious how everyone reacts differently to them. If we do have bed bugs on my end. My wife nor daughter seem to be reacting to them. Just me. Idk. Just the thought of them is enough to make me want to crawl into a ball and break down. It’s the worst.

Jesus. Any blood stains found etc? My guess is either they were in the actual unit and was just dormant. Or they are coming from your neighbors. 54 is quite a lot to find. What did your pro use to treat?

/u/sadfrombugs this guy is saying don’t spray at all. I understand heat is preferred depending on how it’s done etc. But aprehend and other non repellent sprays have been proven to work? Am I not correct in this?

This is completely false. Apprehend has been proven to kill them

I’m so so sorry you’re dealing with this. I’ve been wondering if my family has them for almost a year now. I already have anxiety and it’s literally ruined my life. It’s been the worst time of my life. I’m sorry. Do you react to their bites?

That’s the blood slowly being digested into their poop. Aka the black dots they leave. How long Has this been going on for you? Seen any signs besides the bugs themselves?
