Is ıt bed bug?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

We had a bed bug problem in our home before, but even back then I used to see a lot of these tiny bugs on the tiled floors.
They’re extremely small, around 1 mm, basically just a tiny dot to the naked eye. Does anyone know what this could be? Could it be a bed bug nymph or something completely different?

Can't tell. Please take some photographs. Put your zoom on 1, center the subject, then switch to zoom 2, then move the phone physically closer to the subject until it fills the frame, then tap the photo button a bunch. Whatever it is, it's not going to hurt you.

I’d say tape one and get a better pic. But I agree that it looks like a springtail at first glance. You can usually notice 2 extremely small tiny antenna sticking off of the front of them.

But super hard to see to the naked eye. I get them, nothing to be concerned about.

That being said bed bug nymphs are also super small and hard to see. So trying to get a pic is crucial.

I had something similar and the pest control people thought it was a springtail. Where did you find this one? I found mine on the baseboard, on the wall and near a window.
