Remember: some people do not react to bites, and also, some people do not react right away.

Also, I am surprised the PCO says you have had them only a few weeks based on how many he found; many people have them for much longer and see no bed bugs.

Anyway: lots of support here. I recommend you come to the forum where you will get more responses: http://bedbugger.com/forum/

I found out I had BB 2 weeks ago. They came from my mom in law’s place. Her house is severely infested we found out.

I saw one crawling on my shirt sleeve early evening and I immediately called the exterminator. No bites for about 5 days afterwards but on the 6th day, I saw a BB hanging out on my washcloth in the bathroom and we caught 2 more that were in the process of biting my husband while we were sleeping the following night around 3am. I have a collection now in a small jar.

I asked the exterminator how long we have had them by what he found. He said about 3-4 weeks tops. I pray to GOD that my neighbor downstairs doesn’t have them. I did tell my LL what we found but no one else in the dwelling has complained to her.

I haven’t seen any more bugs lately. None of us have new bites. I’m calling the ext. again on Tuesday to do his stuff again but even after that I wont feel too safe.

It’s very sad. This is wrecking our mental state more than the financial state.

The problem with the “rogue bug” theory is that it is extremely rare to see a bed bug. Even when people have many.

Some people are bitten for many months and see no bed bugs.

So when someone sees one, I kind of assume there are more.

Anyway, if it’s female, you surely have more than one (eggs). Definitely keep getting treatment.

Consider seriously that neighbors are probably infested even if they do not know it. Six treatments, done properly, should be enough. So I suspect either they are not being done properly, or bed bugs are coming from somewhere.
