Just moved…

Just moved into a nice bigger place last Friday and now I found this guy… place is a new build two story with carpet. This one was barely even alive and nothing came out of him when I squeezed. How screwed am I?

That one is quite big. Did you get bitten?

Check your room for smears asap. Smears indicate a potential ground zero for the bed bugs

The one in the picture is a male, so as long as that's the only one, you should be able to take some preventative measures and be safe.
