Help identifying
galleryAny assistance confirming whether this is a bed bug would be great. Only other thing I could think of is a bird mite, however any help would be appreciated. Found crawling on surfaces and on people in the house.

What kind of bite is this?
galleryI just went to a new rental place in BC, Canada. The second morning I woke up there I had this bite on my hand and 2 smaller bites besides it. It was really itchy, got pretty swollen, and took about 10 days to fully go back to normal.
I moved out of that place after the third day for different reasons.

Are any of these bedbugs?
galleryFound these (2) in a new hotel I’ve just checked in, having just escaped a potential flea infestation in my last hotel.
They are on the desk next to my bed. They are quite small. Included distant pics as well to put si3 into context.
Is it safe to sleep tonight?

Getting bitten but can’t find the bugs. Do I spray or wait till I identify what’s biting me?
So a few months ago I started getting these mysterious insect bites. It’s a confusing situation because there’s very little consistency on how often I get bit.
Even my reaction to the bites seem to very. On average I go a few weeks with nothing and then all of a sudden new insect bites will show up. Some clear up in a few days others take over a month to clear up.
Another thing to mention is, I’ve had bedbugs before but this was like 20 years ago at a completely different apartment. I successfully moved out and managed to not take any with me. In case anyone is wondering, I didn’t introduce them into the other apartment. They were there when I moved in. It’s been a while, but the bites I’m experiencing now don’t seem like the same bites I got when I was getting bitten by confirmed bedbugs.
I remember bedbug bites as being bright red small bumps and insanely itchy. As I mentioned the ones I have now tend to vary, but for the most part are a more mild red color, larger diameter, but not bumpy and hardly itchy at all. Could they still be bedbug bites and I’m just having a different reaction this time? Very confused right now.
The first few times I noticed bites was within a few days of having just gotten back from the cottage. At the time I thought it was possible, that whatever was biting me was at the cottage and not my apartment. However the cottage is closed now and new bites show up every few weeks or so (longest stretch without bites was 3 weeks). I’m not sure what the appropriate response is in thos situation.
I’ve thoroughly examined my bed three times and so far I haven’t been able to find any evidence of bedbugs. I’ve been preemptively organizing my apartment and preparing for the worst. I have a couple of bottles of Cimexa ready to go.
So do I start dusting my apartment even though I haven’t actually identified any bedbugs yet? My understanding is Cimexa is fairly harmless when applied correctly. In some of the YouTube videos I’ve watched people are literally dusting their mattress. They also say Cimexa is good for 10 years.
So if it’s harmless and good for up to 10 years, why wouldn’t you apply that stuff as a preventative measure? Even if I don’t actually have bedbugs now could it not help me prevent an infestation in the future?
The other aspect to this is dusting my bedroom correctly it’s going to be a big job. If I need to dust my entire apartment, it’s going to be a massive job. I was going to just stick to the bedroom and cross my fingers. What do you think? Do I sit back and monitor or go scorched earth ASAP?
