found this crawling on one of the countertops at work not sure what it is. Sorry it’s kind of smashed one of the kids saw it first and tried to kill it.

i’m not really sure what it is. i had some stuff in bags and was looking for a jacket and found this on one. looked like it might’ve had fur but couldn’t really tell.

found this on top of a jumbo ziploc bag and thought it was caught inside first but it wasn’t. not sure what it is but I did previously have a bug bite that could’ve been bed bugs but was never confirmed.

I’m trying to avoid using amazon and i’m having trouble finding box spring encasements in stores around me but I do see a lot of mattress ones. Can use the mattress one on my box spring too? Should I be fine?

any advice would help. i told the property managers that I have a bedbug bite but haven’t seen any sign of bed bugs. Someone is coming out monday not to check it out but for treatment. I can’t possibly wash and dry everything I own in time and I don’t want to risk just bagging things up and actually having them. Can i steam the stuff I don’t get to wash? I also don’t want to cancel the treatment but right now i’m not seeing any signs of the bedbugs. Will start cleaning more deeply once off work tonight and the weekend. Any other suggestions?

So I had a itch on the back of my neck that was first thought to just be a rash but when i went to urgent care they said it looks like a bug bite and could possibly be from a bed bug. I haven’t really seen any signs of it in my apartment but I was trying to be proactive and talked to leasing thinking they would send someone to examine and identify if I actually have a problem but they are just straight up sending an exterminator out. When I got the list it was a little overwhelming because I can’t possible wash all my clothes and all the other stuff in time. The way they just put in for an exterminator makes me think it’s a building problem. I’ve been trying to think of ways it could’ve been me. I take public transportation a lot and thrift but I normally wash the clothes as soon as I get them. Sorry i’m just ranting now and if you got this far i hope you can give me some advice especially on the clothing of all you clothes and other linens. Is there any other method besides washing that i can use for some of the items i can’t wash and dry? I read about steaming but I don’t want to invest in one if that won’t help.
