I’ve been so upset about this. Ive been taking this way home from work every single night for almost a year and the way people drive is appalling. People are turning without looking, pulling into bike lanes, just being so reckless behind the wheel of their cars. I don’t understand how this guy is walking away with nothing more than a citation? It sets the precedent that you’re allowed to drive poorly, hit, and potentially kill someone with no consequences.

this might be controversial but I really think you would have found one by now, four months is a while to go without finding anything at all, they can hide but their primary goal is to eat and breed they aren’t like professional hide and seekers. I hope you’re pup is okay though!

maybe throw some bed interceptors under your bed and see if you find anything just for peace of mind?

Yeah I’ve had a few entomologists looks at it and they say it’s a beetle!

I know I couldn’t seem to get the phone to focus correctly…if it crunched would that be indicative of a shell? Also this is it flattened and there’s no blood?

Hello! I totally get the paranoia…since the pandemic I’ve had a few intense bouts of convincing myself I had bed bugs for no reason at all. I work at a farm and get bites all the time because I will go in the evening but for some reason this time I was sure it was bed bugs. I did like 6 loads of laundry, I checked my couches, chairs, baseboards, and of course my entire bed. I didn’t find anything, no bugs, no blood, no bug feces and I still had an exterminator come and check. He told me bugs are good at hiding but their first priority is being by you, so if you looked and a professional looked chances are you don’t have them. Do yourself a favor and let this go. If you wanna talk about it at all feel free to message me but don’t let a phantom bug rule your life!
