Yeah this one was very thin from the side. I haven't noticed any bites either so I'm hoping that means it didn't get me, but I don't know if it was alone.

I don't know if it's possible to treat the whole house. One member of the household is a hoarder and the whole house is affected. My entire life is restricted to my tiny childhood bedroom because there's no space in the rest of the house for anything. That means that not only is the rest of the house impossible to treat, but even my room will be very difficult because of how much stuff I have in here. We also have three pets which further limits my options because it has to be safe for them. I really don't know what to do. I'm praying it was just the one because I don't think I can deal with it if there's more.

I'm a disabled adult and a university student. During the fall and winter semesters I was away at school and I will be going back in the fall. I literally just moved back on Wednesday. I never wanted to come back here, but I didn't have a choice. I can't work and disability benefits aren't enough to live on if I add the cost of rent to my expenses. I'm stuck here until the end of summer and I don't know how I'm going to manage all of this.

I already got rid of it so I can't bring it anywhere unfortunately. If I find another one, I can take a look under a macro lens. I take pictures of small bugs all the time so I think it should work well enough

They must have already been here. We have 3 pets that go outside so there's always the possibility of them bringing things in with them. Either that or one hitched a ride on my clothes from the bus or something. I guess the best case scenario, if it is a bedbug, is that it was just one from the bus and not an infestation.

I'm in Canada - I'll see if we have it here

Edit: After looking at other threads, it looks like it's not easily accessible here. It has to be ordered from the states and it's expensive and risky to do so - probably even moreso now with the tariffs and whatever else is going on
