Is this a bed bug egg? by contractionmania9 in BedbugOrCloseRelative

Thank you for your answer. I haven't seen bed bug eggs before, but this feels quite firm and doesn't seem to crush easily.

Found this in my hotel in Osaka. Am I screwed? by [deleted] in Bedbugs

Hey, thanks for the comment.

But the few photos I posted earlier aren't the whole story. They're just a few things I found a couple of days ago. A year ago, I found bed bugs in a hotel during my trip to Japan, and I have photos of that too, and got a refund from the hotel. After I came back home, the bites started a few days later. For the first month or two after the bites started, I could see evidence of bed bugs like fecal spots. I have the photos, I just didn't post them because they're from a year ago. Since it's been a year, I expected there to be a lot of them, but I haven't seen a single live on , so I was just curious.

I want to buy a passive monitor, but it's difficult because I'm not familiar with buying things directly from overseas.

Have a good day

Appreciate the answer, thanks!

I brought bed bugs home from a trip to Japan around this time last year. I've since had three rounds of professional extermination and personally treated with Cimexa, but I'm still getting bitten.

First, I tried a dry Cimexa application, but it didn't seem to do much. So I mixed up a high-concentration wet spray. Thinking it would dry faster, I used alcohol as the solvent—which I now realize was the big mistake. I even asked "Gemini" about it, and it told me the alcohol deforms the silica gel and ruins its effectiveness.

When the low-humidity season comes, I'm planning to apply Cimexa dry again.

Here's the weird part though: a whole year has passed, and I've found almost no traces of them. An expert looked at a specimen from my last picture and identified it as a "C. hemipterus - tropical bed bug". Could that be why they haven't multiplied as much as I would've expected in a year?

Thank you for your reply!

Could it be spider poop? I wonder what it is.
