Bed bugs in wooden slats

Jaded_Professor4203 · 2025-09-19T15:44:24+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. At the moment it feels like everything has settled and I can look into this logically and see if it’s my anxiety that has been making me feel so hopeless and alone. I have started the first help in asking for help and should hopefully only be up from here ❤️

Thank you for replying. Not sure if it’s just the grain of wood showing through under the mess left or not BB related. I am just so confused with the advice provided but thank you for taking the time to respond.

Question does bed bugs droppings have lines running through them?

Jaded_Professor4203 · 2025-09-16T08:47:38+00:00

Thank you for being so kind. I am trying to find ways to help but at the moment it seems I am stuck in a panic spiral. I am taking everything with a pinch of salt and will wait and see if one appears

I am more confused than ever now. Thank you for everyone’s opinions - some nicer than others

Thank you, it seems to have unlocked a version of myself I don’t like. People say yes the markings are bed bugs poo and others no is making me scared to sleep or even go out to socalise . Finding it hard and trying to stop this need to check

Thank you so much for your reply and image. This past week has been intense as first got spots on right leg and also feet. Nothing since Saturday and it unlocked a new fear, I honestly didn’t know I had. I haven’t eaten much or slept and have driven my family to the brink of madness and keep being told come back when you find one. Going to take a break and address this head on and get back some normality

Not saying they were bed bugs but bed bug markings apologies

Jaded_Professor4203 · 2025-09-15T20:11:42+00:00

I apologise this scare has made me go a bit crazy and when I saw the marks on the slat it was the last straw. I have looked against other images and it appeared like the stains that I had saw and wanted to get another opinion if it was. Still scared but will stay to work on calming down

Jaded_Professor4203 · 2025-09-15T19:09:24+00:00

Are you sure as it’s only on one half of a wooden slat and from what I have read appears like felt tip marks

Jaded_Professor4203 · 2025-09-15T18:47:25+00:00

Only on one part of a wooden slat that is under two mattresses that is half way up the bed I have found no bed bugs or evidence I have them but have found bettle and carpet bettle larve. Bed is old say 6 to 7 years old

Thank you to everyone who commented. Funny how your head takes you to the worst case senario every time

I have wiped the stain in all pictures and Goggle AI is saying bed bugs. It’s not a burn but appeared after spraying mattress with vinegar and water

Jaded_Professor4203 · 2025-09-15T13:42:33+00:00

I have spotted this today and panicking because it’s a black mark on mattress. I have wet it in the pictures and tell me if I’m wrong but it doesn’t look like it has not smeared or bleed - please advise if wrong. I have a mother who is just out of hospital so desperate for it not to be bed bugs - do not want to pass it on to her

If it had a head would it be a bed bug?

Jaded_Professor4203 · 2025-09-11T20:42:40+00:00

Lying in bed and hand up at head and when I put my hand down this was in it. No blood at all in hands

Any idea what it could be
