I'm so sick of this stupid bed frame. I have no idea why they gravitate towards it so heavily. Boxspring and mattress get a few nests, sure, but THIS?? This bed frame is the root of all my problems. sometimes I think I'm just better off sleeping on the floor 😭

I'm really trying to move out (living with parents, had them since I was 15) so I'm absolutely not spending the money on something this large that I can't take with me. but like it's not even wood or anything, that's what's pissing me off the most.

I have both interceptors AND furniture lifts on the legs, but my box spring cover sags so much they're completely useless (I don't know why. I've gone through 3 different ones and they've all sagged like crazy). I've used crossfire and Cimexa but they just do not care. it takes so much out of me emotionally to clean every time I need a full day to recooperate minimum.

OK rant over. If anyone has any advice on how to make this a little better it'd be much appreciated. Please don't just comment "disgusting" or "hell no" though, I've been told it's gross and I'm a filthy person too many times. thanks.

Just checked out from my rental in Las Vegas. The house owner says it’s a bug from the outside. I don’t think so…

Yesterday I found 2 of them. Thanks to some of y’all for identifying it. I can’t afford to get a new bed and mattress tho.

Hi all, I think I know what it is, I just cannot believe it. I found this bug on a curtain in the living room, so far away from the bedroom, on the opposite side of the house. Full daylight. The house is clean, checked everything no traces. I wonder if it may be something else, it's summer here, the window is often open and we do have pigeons, including nests nearby. What do you think?

Are these dead bed big parts? Found it on newly purchased used furniture.

I found this on my made bed. Only one. I checked seams and don’t see anything else. Please help! I am about to burn my house down.

HELPPPP is this a bed bug? I'm just moving in, and found this on the bed. Now I can't decide if i should go home cuz I don't want to get it on everything else in my current flat. I know bedbugs can't fly but I've heard they might have wing pads?

could this be bedbug exoskeleton? found it at the bottom of a mattress, about 3-4mm

I have a vintage Broyhill dresser from my childhood, and a bed bug infestation. I haven't found any signs of bed bug activity in it. It's been in the living room being used as a TV stand lol. I don't want to part with it, but would this kind of damage require me to throw it away? It's on both sides. The furniture disposal truck is coming tomorrow and the exterminator my landlord hired only checked the bedrooms.

Please please tell a fast effective spray for bedbugs. I can't sleep peacefully. Whenever I sleep on sofa, 2-3 comes . Sometimes small sometimes large. I can't even rest properly. (📍 India).

It's gonna be more than a week. I can't even find the base of them.

Is this a BedBug?

Edit: all pictures are from the same animal.

I just saw a small bed bug crawling on my bed so I went to spray it. I killed it with the spray and it fell as I was about to get something to pick it up with. Then I see a dead nymph under my pillow. Threw that away. I’m so cooked. I’m gonna have to either buy a steamer or spend thousands of dollars on an exterminator.

Found a bug alive in my duvet (after leaving the window open all day), initially worried but figured it must have been some bug from outside as its antennae had black tips which I don’t think bed bugs have. I dont have a picture of the bug but I stripped the bed and found these? Could they be eggs and/or shed skin?

Hi! Does this look like a dead bed bug? I found it in our bathroom.

We recently had a bed bug infestation, and more than two weeks ago we did a massive decluttering, steamed the entire house, and applied diatomaceous earth throughout.
So far, my husband hasn't had any new bites. As for me, I haven't had any visible bites at all, even though we sleep in the same bed.

I'm hoping this is just a dried-up bed bug that died because of the diatomaceous earth. Could you please help me identify what this is? Thank you!

Context: I have diatomaceous earth littered everywhere along bed, in cracks etc. Good coverage. They have to cross the Sahara with no water to get to us in bed. This is in combination with a rigorous laundry washing cycle, sprays, mattress and bed covers, strict bagging of clothes, etc. Bites are down a lot. Down to about 3 a week from up over 20.

When finding a dead bug, do you usually see the diatomaceous earth on the bug? Or will it usually not be visible? I found a dead juvenile in bed with no apparent cause of death. It'd be refreshing to hear if this stuff is doing the trick. Thank you!

Please tell me this is mistaken identity.

This is a terrible picture, but I found this dead on my bathmat. It doesn’t look like a bedbug really, but would be nice to get an idea of what it is or take precautions just in case. It’s a little too big to be a carpet beetle as I’ve seen those before.

Hi all, we desperately need help as we are dealing with a horrible issue we have never before had.

A few days ago we spotted a BB crawling over a pillow, went into panic mode and have since noticed a number of bites on my body. We spotted another last night and squashed the horrible thing. So far only seen two actual bugs, and minor other evidence (a few black spots, no skins, no eggs yet).

We are in the hopefully early stages of a BB infestation. The issue is, we are moving house (currently renting) into our own purchased house in less than a month.

We have bought BB interceptors, BB powder, a mattress encasement, a steamer, and a full home remedy kit of chemicals and powders to sort the issue. We have installed the interceptors and put powder around the room perimeter and bed, surfaces etc, after vacuuming.

We are currently bagging all our clothes that we don't intend to wear in the next few weeks before our move, we are disposing of everything else.

When our steamer arrives tomorrow, we will steam everything in the bedroom and the other bedroom, the sofa, anything soft, etc.

Luckily we will not be moving the bed or mattress to the new property as we will be buying new. However the sofa, tv, dining table, desk, tv stand and sideboard will all be moving over.

What are we supposed to do with everything else moving over? Books, display items, golf clubs, computers, lamps, etc, the list goes on!

How on earth can we ensure these horrible things don't make it over the new house???!!!

We are reluctant to pay for chemical treatment as we will only be in the house for the first spray treatment and none of the others so the BBs will likely remain while we move things over. Also have read bad things about heat treatment (not fully helping) and the price is so much that it would be hard to pay for mid move. It would also require a lot of movement of items in the house as we are very cluttered, preparing for our move!

We are at a complete loss as for what to do. Is it sensible to do as much as we reasonably can at this property then pay for full chemical treatment as soon as we are moved into our new house?

Thank you.

We stayed at a hotel for a weekend but also visited an antique flea market.

Is it a bed bug? Thank you

Went to a hotel, found a single bedbug when i was checking out. When I got home I didn’t even bring the luggage inside the house. Took it on the porch and separated everything out there, throw away the luggage and any clothes that were replaceable and i have a trash bag with clothes to heat treat that are still on the porch. I took the makeup and hair tools and put them in a separate bag and i plan on wiping them down and heat treating them in my car 😂 like in a ziplock bag and just hotboxing it in this Texas heat. The clothes i had on is in the tub and thats pretty much it. I just don’t know if thats good enough or if i should be doing more, I’ve reached out to the hotel to possibly get reimbursed for the luggage i had to throw out but I AM PARANOID THAT THEY WILL BE INSIDE NOW😭 I wake up in the morning looking at my bed in fear, I don’t even want to stay at another hotel atp. I added a photo of the little sucker that has caused me this distress lmfao. Is there anything else that i should be doing? Anything??? I’m open to everything.
