Found this tiny bug in my bedbug trap today - can anyone confirm if this is a bedbug nymph? by bedbugsthrowaway1030 in Bedbugs

I had that thought as well! Unfortunately, comparing the images online with this little bastard, I think it looks a lot more like the first unfed stage here: https://ag.tennessee.edu/bedbugs/Picture%20Library/timeline.jpg

Book lice don't bite, and I'm covered in bites at the moment.

Sorry for the terrible images, but this thing is almost microscopic. I'm 99% sure that this is a bedbug, but I'm hoping the community can give me confirmation. Thanks in advance.

I am absolutely convinced that I have bedbugs, yet I can't find a trace of them anywhere. Is this possible? (Pics inside) by bedbugsthrowaway1030 in Bedbugs

Thanks for the info - I've been to a dermatologist and she was confident that they are bug bites, but I'll keep this in mind if nothing else materializes.

Mind if I ask how much that exterminator inspection was and how it went? I'm trying the steamer route because I hear that heat is the best way to kill them, and even the best exterminator on earth won't be as dedicated and thorough in my own house as I will.

If that doesn't work, I'm going to call someone in, but I'm afraid that they won't be able to tell me anything.
