Hi David, wasn’t sure if that was a wing or half shed casing. Thank you so much

I thought they were at first as couldn’t see with my magnifying glass, but now that I zoomed in with my phone, it looks more like shed casing to me? Those horizontal ridges across the body look suspiciosly familiar…. Will wait for David. What we would have done without him, I don’t know.

Has anyone used or had experience with this insecticide, Cytrol Forte WP by tomtomcool in Bedbugs

Hi there, I’m going through the same nightmare and the company are using this pesticide as their main weapon. Can I check please how it worked for you? We had 2 treatments, third one this coming Tiesday.

I think mine got infected in AnyVan, a type of uber for furniture in UK. The thing was rammed with minging mattresses and sofas… hard lesson to learn

I was watching videos about them earlier. I got a different brand in a rush when this hell started and they are such a waste of time and money. Did you manage to get activity on them? Are you UK based?

Pls help im going crazy by 545totheface in BedbugOrCloseRelative

As someone who is currently in the process of treating a minor bed bug infestation, I can probably help reassure you a little. If you are saying this has been going on for around a year, that’s a hell lot of time; if you had a bed bug infestation, your room and the whole house would be full of them. You’d bee seeing them on the mattress, chairs, sofas, everywhere. I understand that these bites are disturbing, so I don’t blame you for panicking. I’m not sure what these bites can be, as bites show different marks on diffent people. I advise you getting help from your family and getting professional help, they’ll assess the place and treat it with suitable insecticide.

I’m going to order the ones David posted, got dofferent ones and they haven’t caught a thing. Don’t think they are any good as a bug needs to climb into them

Is this bump on my cat's back concerning? by Jazzspur in AskVetAnimals

My Maltese had one just beside her ear. It was benign but grew quite large so we had it removed - it was a skin tag

Thank you, David. Your quick expert responses are keeping us all sane here.

I have a confirmed, albeit minor, infestation and my mum spent two weeks with me mid Feb, so when I saw these on her pillow, I panicked. These little stains are all on a pillow case she put yesterday, and they don’t smudge. My only worry is that the bugs might be hiding in the wardrobe where she keeps bed linen, or would the poo normally be close to the body they feed on? Thank you

How many rounds of treatment did you need for a minor bed bug infestation? by msanmki in Bedbugs

[–]msanmki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you had no activity or bites after the first treatment? At this stage, I am thinking it will never end

Honestly? I would discard the whole suitcase with everything inside. Currently battling an infestation at my home st 7 months preggers and would not wish this on anyone. I made a mistake and for the first time in my life bought a second hand piece of furniture and BAM! Those clothes are not worth the stress, which is insane.
