You must not do anything unless you are sure you have bed bugs. You need a positive ID. If you live in certain areas, and you are renting your home, your landlord may be responsible for dealing with bed bugs. If so, then s/he may be able to get a pro in to inspect and treat if necessary.

If you are responsible, there are two good options for detection: a good PCO who will take lots of time inspecting. A small apartment, we’re told, can take more than an hour to carefully inspect. Bed bug sniffing dogs are a second option.

Both of these will cost money. And a human who inspects carefully can be hard to find (we’re told) depending where you live.

You could also read up some of the resources in our links section, and learn how to do an inspection yourself. You won’t do as good a job, but if money is an issue, this is an option.

It’s best to get a pro with lots of bed bug knowledge in to inspect and treat.

And whatever you do, don’t start cleaning like mad, tossing things out, or spraying everywhere. A lot of us panic and do this, but you can make things worse, or make it such that the PCO cannot inspect. And you can also spread bed bugs, or toss out things needlessly. Be calm. You will figure this out and get through it.

My nerves are so upset right now. I have been reading this site all night and itching.

I did join, and been reading the forums, but I haven’t been able to comment.

When I get my nerves settled and can sit down to figure it out, I promise, I will.

BUT, Please help at the moment. PLEASE!!

I don’t even know where to start.lol And it ain’t funny.

The first thing I would like to know, if anyone can tell me, if my dog can get bite. I am sure he can, but I can’t find anything on it.

He has been itching so so bad. And it is not fleas.
Now, my husband and I have been getting we thought white heads on our face. But, clear fluid is all that would come out, and it felt like a hard dot or something in the middle. The pictures match us.

Now it is on our arms and legs and his back. After I cleaned out from under the bed and dressers, that had not been done in a while.lol

I have been trying to figure out what to do first.
I know I need to make sure, I haven’t found one yet. But I am going to try one of the tips listed today.

If you can just help me out with my dog for one thing, and suggest any ideas as to what I can do for him.
I would be forever grateful, and I will try and figure my posting on the forum in a little while and talk atcha there.

When you say, “pest control can’t find them,” have you had someone inspect? If you definitely had bed bugs before you moved, then I would assume that there’s some chance you brought bed bugs with you.

You need professional treatment by someone experienced with bed bugs. It is possible in many localities to hire a bed bug sniffing dog to detect bed bugs.

PLEASE HELP US

I have been reading this site all morning. It gives me the itchies just reading! I realize now that some BBS are Jason Bourne, and some might not be. That being said, My friend visited her old apt (confirmed BB infestation) a 1.5 weeks ago on Thrusday, and then visited me a few days later on Monday for an hour on my couch in my bedroom. On Wednesday she got two bites on her wrist and found out her friends place was confirmed for BBs. I received multiple bites the night before she was bitten. However, I am the girl who gets 8-10 bites ::a night:: from being outside by mosquitos. seriously.

Exterminator (private) found no evidence of bbs and has planted sticky pads (which i will now add heaters to altho unsure which kind emits carbon dioxide), but my friends landlord unfortunately threw out her mattress/chair and sprayed ::by herself::. So there is no way for me to know if she has them since she is probably effed for knowing for sure now.

Last night I found nothing on my bed stickies/sheets, but I did find teeny weeny oblong skin-colored bugs on the stickies. 4-5 pads totaling 8-10 of those. are those baby bbs?????!!!! I havent been bitten since but now see that doesnt mean a thing! i get the prickly feeling on my couch, can baby bbs feed and cause itchiness?

If you think I have them, should I make my landlord switch to a different exterminator?

Also, I have a rabbit. cant ask enough questions about that. Can animals be allergic to bbs? She’s been sneezing.

Lots of people unfortunately manage to move bed bugs even taking very little, and nothing fabric.

Good luck and go to the forums if you want any advice from others who did move.
