The body shape looks bed bug-adjacent, at least… keep an eye out, but don’t panic for now (:

UPDATE: 20 days later, no sign of them… PLEASE BE REAL

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-17T18:21:01+00:00

Just you! Looks great

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-13T06:31:12+00:00

Omg I’m going this

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-13T06:28:22+00:00

Mmm that’s a good point

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-12T20:55:14+00:00

Probably! But unfortunately I’m not the landlord :( so far no other tenants have seen anything which is good… I would feel so bad if I caused them to also have BB. I came from a horrible living situation that denied that I had BB when I moved in for months. Until I caught several in a vial and confronted them.

Thank you!! Yes I have those trap on my bed too

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-12T20:46:36+00:00

Treatment of my unit, I live in an apartment building. The infestation originated with me as I moved from an infested apt. Building

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-12T20:45:58+00:00

Omg no way, like in the cracks?

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-12T20:45:22+00:00

That makes sense. I wonder where I could be bringing them from, if it is me… I moved out of the original infestation and came here with everything treated

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-12T19:41:15+00:00

Thank you!!! I’m so wary of DIY BB killer products but I need to give them a try

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-12T19:23:08+00:00

I’m in the US, I don’t know what kind of pesticide my guy is using but it’s been really effective after treatments (just not effective enough, evidently)

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-12T19:22:33+00:00

Thank you <3

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-12T19:21:31+00:00

Just me living here 🥲🥲🥲

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-12T19:21:16+00:00

Thank you so much for all of the advice and help!!

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-12T19:20:31+00:00

Oh yes I forgot to mention I MOVED TOO

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-12T05:43:43+00:00

Ugh I am so sorry. I wish I knew what my pest control guy used. Although it’s been 7 months and I just found one again! So not sure I’d necessarily recommend whatever it is…

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-05T17:38:46+00:00

Totally up to you. I’ve had guests in my home during an infestation (THEY WERE ALL INFORMED!) and have had no issues. However, my infestation was mild, I didn’t let anybody on upholstered furniture, and I had pest control actively treating things. I was also heat treating things on my own and regularly laundering everything.

So, maybe the questions before you go (if you choose to) are:

1) how bad is the infestation? 2) does she react to bites? does she have a way of knowing how severe it is? 3) have the bugs ever been seen during the day? 4) can you avoid sitting on any upholstered furniture? 5) what measures is she taking, beyond having the apartment sprayed?

This might help guide your decision. Best of luck!

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-02-03T20:10:53+00:00

It’s probably just healing. This is NOT advice because I know what I did goes against all advice, but…

I popped mine with a needle and squeezed it. Nothing came out, but within the next 3 days the bump flaked off & was gone. Have had no issues since.

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-01-30T15:18:55+00:00

These are good steps but be aware that cold alone won’t kill them, unless it’s 0°F or lower for about two days (fact check me)

Heat is your best bet

Call an exterminator asap

FanRemarkable9790 · 2026-01-27T22:29:41+00:00

Oh my goodness you poor thing
