<description>&#60;p&#62;As Ci said,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;blockquote&#62;First up, if you're seeing a lot of bugs, please post a picture here, so that we can positively determine if what you believe are bed bugs truly are.&#60;/blockquote&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Keep in mind there are bed bugs, then there are closely related species like bat bugs which may also be a problem.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;There are also completely unrelated species like rat mites that might be the cause.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;If you post a photo, someone can hopefully confirm the diagnosis which is the first step.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Unfortunately, as Cilecto said, you kind of have to face the music with all this.  I'm not a lawyer, but keeping bed bugs (or other pest problems) a secret from the landlord, and thus allowing them to get worse, may have legal repercussions that go beyond getting evicted.

<description>&#60;p&#62;In the four step process under &#34;fumigation&#34; it says they fog.  (With all-natural products?  Does this mean cedar oil?!?)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;affordablebedbugcontrol.org/Our-4-Step-Procedure.html&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Paul, or other US PMPs -- hypothetically, if someone in the US is using &#34;all natural&#34; EPA-exempt products, do they still need to be a licensed to apply pesticides?  Or could someone conceivably with little knowledge of pests start a business like this?  (I stress I'm not saying that's what's happening here.)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I mean it's not like all licensed PMPs are bed bug experts, but it does sort of up the ante a bit if you have some kind of professional training and licensing process.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Q:  I've had the dog come sniff and 2 PCO's say I don't have the bugs. However, I keep getting bitten (all after a trip to a hotel), find random blood spots on the bed, and today found a strange amber looking bug particle while doing the laundry. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;R:  Remember, we need to find physical evidence of bed bugs before we can be 100% that you have bed bugs.  If you're being bitten over time there will be more and more physical evidence present to be found.  You will need to inspect all the usual places where bed bugs hide thoroughly.  You might also try setting your alarm for say 3:00 AM and go bed bug hunting.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Q:  My husband threw it away without knowing I wanted to keep it. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;R:  It's better to retain the specimen for ID pruposes, as you already know.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Q:  I know there is a good chance that I may not have the bugs, but I also have this old Florida style home with lots of nooks and crannies everywhere and spots where the baseboards don't touch the floor. Is it possible to go this long (over a month) with no sightings of actual bugs, moltings, or fecal matter on sheets or cloth despite daily inspections? &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;R:  Of course, anything is possible and bed bugs may go an exteneded period of time without feeding.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Q:  Also, I saw that you were able to recommend a PCO in the Orlando area some time ago to someone? May I ask who that was and why you recommended?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;R:  Yes, you can.  Why? Generally because I know them and trust that they would take care of their customers well.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Q:  Should I just wait and see now? &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;R:  Well, you're the customer and you paid for service. So, you needent feel that you're otherwise bothering your service provider by contacting them and asking questions.  It may be prudent to wait for a while to see what happens however, you should continue to conduct thorough inspections if you think you're still being bitten.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Hope this helps !  paul b.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Thank you so so so so much. If I could hug you I would. I'm going to be a little shaken up the rest of the night but it's a load off my mind now.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi again, &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thank you so much for taking the time to look and giving me your expert opinion. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;How certain are you? Can I breath easy and enjoy the rest of my Sunday? &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Was I correct about the legs being out of proportion with the size as well as the shape of the legs??

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It's not bedbug related.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Going purely on the colour it could only be a cast skin and the density and shape are wrong for that.  There are many other subtle signs, I am just using the most obvious as an example.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Please read the FAQ's and check useful tools for the best things to do to help prevent bedbugs getting out of control even if you were to get exposed again.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Hope that is calming.&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hey all,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;This place looks familiar... I'm back after nearly 10 months being bed bug free, after waking up yesterday with a cluster of bites on my hip. I'm not naive about BBs anymore after going through a 3-month long ordeal last summer, I know how my body reacts to them, and unfortunately I'm almost 100% sure my building has the issue again. I've called my landlord about it, stripped my bed, and will be on the lookout for the next week for more concrete proof. (A neighboring building that shares a wall with us also has been throwing out bureaus, mattresses/boxsprings, and heavy duty black trash bags in the last few days, so there could be some movement from there even - our buildings are old and have cracks/holes galore.)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Last time, one of the places the bed bugs eventually used as their home (after they traveled to me from my downstairs neighbors) was the nooks and crannies of my upholstered headboard. By the &#34;end&#34; of the infestation, they were all dead in there and I was content enough doing a vacuum job and dealing with it, because the headboard cost me a lot of money and I quite like it.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;But now that they are almost definitely back in some way, I've had it. I want the headboard gone because, even though it's not a problem now (it's not like an egg was left in there and hatched 10 months later), it'll be one less thing to worry about and one less place for them to cluster this time. I know I would want to wrap it up JUST IN CASE so nothing would fall out while carrying it outside, but I've never read about any heavy duty plastic wrap that will get the job done. I could use plain store-brand Glad wrap, but...it would take an awful lot of rolls! Do you know of any brands/websites that sell plastic wrap specifically for furniture disposal/transportation?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thanks for reading my ridiculously long post for one simple question  &lt;img src="http://bedbugger.com/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /&gt;  Hope any of you who are in the midst of BB situations are doing ok!

<description>&#60;p&#62;The one I found dead from the treatment that didn't look like a full adult was a lighter brown color. The nymph was a light color but it's abdomen was red/full of blood.

<description>&#60;p&#62;The boxes were in a basement in Michigan through 2 summers and winters. Outside in winter it gets to be 0 degrees Fahrenheit, in summer it gets to be up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. They have heating and cooling. I don't know the exact temperature it would be.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;They had probably been feeding on me for a couple weeks before I noticed. The nymph had just fed on me so it was full. The adult I found wasn't super bloated but not super thin either.  The dead one I saw looked like it was almost an adult but not a full adult. It looked like it hadn't eaten much. But are the adults the only ones that can be dormant that long?

<description>&#60;p&#62;I have added the pics I took with my phone as viewed through a photography magnifying loupe.  Again, they aren't as clear as they are when looking with the naked eye so they really look even more like a you know what. In the one image you can see if you look every carefully, the longest leg in the image does have a very faint, very thin segment on the end. There is the nubby part where it attached to the body, the thickest segment, bent down is another one and there is yet another attached to that one that is hard to see. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I'm really fearing the worst here and most people looking at this image will probably do the same but I am clinging to any hope that maybe someone can look at this and say it could be something else. It will take a seasoned pro's experienced eye to do this. &#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Yes I am passing through LGA Tuesday on my way to Stony Point NY and back to JFK to go to London on Friday.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It's always best to confirm first and then deal with next steps because frankly too many cases are not actually cases for it to be any other way.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I would also advise you check the useful tools section for what works moving forward, things have moved along a lot in the last few years and as long as you stay on top of the problem you can fix a small issue in a matter of minutes.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Lets focus on getting things confirmed first and foremost, always remember that sometimes even a looks like a BB is not a BB.&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;I had a feeling that response was coming. I tried to take a few pics with my phone through my magnifying loupe but they're not that clear, not as clear as with the naked eye so it REALLY is hard to tell. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Unfortunately I work on Tuesday until 5pm. Are you coming or going from JFK? I don't live in NYC, I live in Pennsylvania outside Philly. I  can't stand living around here anymore!!!!! I can't wait to get out of such a densely populated urban area. I know the problem is everywhere but it would be a great help to be in a place where people don't tend to come as go as fast. I'm really upset, I keep thinking about it's giving me a nervous stomach. If it is, which I'm very strongly suspecting by how it looks, what then? What do I do next? I have no idea where it came from. All I know is that I left the house in clean clothes, got into my car, went to the store, bought those two shirts after, got back into my car and came home and put what I was wearing and the two shirts  into the dryer. What if was leftover from the day before when my other half went to the library and put his stuff in or when I put my work clothes in Friday afternoon? The not knowing simply kills me. I was out already but think I am going to go back out to the other Walmart and see about getting the images I did take onto a disc so I can upload them here. Perhaps a pro would be able to say more about the scale of the legs to the body or something, I don't know. I'm fearing the worst at this point, am shaking so bad. Talk about a ball of nerves.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Can't help on the description but cheap USB microscopes that work in current windows OS are available again on auction and online sales sites.  The last one I brought was about $30, sounds like it would be a good investment.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Other option is if you can get to LGA on Tuesday around 5:30pm or JFK Friday around 5:30pm I can look at it in person with my 60X eye piece.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Hope that helps.&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;I actually just put a purchase inquiry with American Express. They said that they will investigate it, and if they can't resolve this then I could go with BBB.

<description>&#60;p&#62;So what actions should I take now? Their website does say 100% guarantee on killing the eggs and adults.  Should I find a different PCO? They did give me a bottle of that spray, so should I spray down my room again and hope it goes away?

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;If you are 100% sure and find some on a regular basis you will have no problems finding faecal and taking a picture so I to and be 100% and can be certain my advice will help and not make the matter worse.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;If you can't do that I can't help you as I am not going to give medical advice without being 110% certain.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The ball is in your court.&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;Okay i had the landlord come over to the apartment when i said there were bedbugs.  He inspected my bed with his flashlight and said yep i see bed bug traces.  Is that enough?  The thing is my mattress has so many black spots on it when you look through the inside... why you ask?  Because when we look for bedbug hiding in the mattress we see it and crush it with some tissue and thus it leaves a black residual.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Is that what you mean by that?  Like if you look at my mattress, from a distance you would think its infested with bed bugs b/c so many places have those black marks on it... which is the bed bug stain after we kill it by taking a tissue and crushing it.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Is that enough?
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Sorry to it but one think I know for certain if that having watched the news footage on that site I know the &#34;ladies&#34; only connection to China is not an ancient Chinese cure its the phrase &#34;lies like a cheap Chinese watch&#34; ( the kind that's less accurate than a broken watch which will at least be correct twice a day ).&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I have seen that dissolving bedbug effect before, I just can't recall which snake oil seller it is.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Interestingly enough they are clearly not following the four step process on their site, I would have a chat with the BBB about them, I fear you will not be the first nor last.&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;Heres the thing.  Back a few years ago i had huge bites on my back all over it.  It was folliculis like and i then found out it was bed bugs b/c 1/2 of my back was red and inflamed.  What happened was in my bed, there were hundreds to maybe thousands of my bedbugs that hid on my bed that bit me.  We then threw the bed away immediately and bought a new bed.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The last year and this year, we check to see if bed bugs are hiding inside the mattress.  We found last time 6-7 of them hiding when picking it out at night.  This year however, theres usually 1-2 we find every week when checking the bed.  Sometimes though, there isn't any.  The thing is its 100 percent bed bugs b/c where else am i getting these bites?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Back then when 1/2 of my back was inflamed, we couldnt find bed bugs at all.  The reeason was b/c they hid in this certain compartment of the bed and thats when we found there were hundreds to thousands of them there.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;For my situation now, theres usullay 1 or 2 max bed bugs when we look through the bed but many times there is 0.  Thing is they could be hiding somewhere else that i dont know where... maybe the walls?  Thus you cant find them when you look at it now and they only appear and bite when sleeping.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Im 100 percent positive im getting bit my bugs.   I had moderate-severe acne many years ago so i know what is cystic acne.  I also had mild-moderate acne as well so i know what is acne and this isn't acne but bites.  Its just im not 100 percent certain if its bed bug bites or mosquito bites but im leaning 95 percent bed bug bites as i have these bites on my arms and knuckles and it has the 3 bite look with breakfast, lunch and dinner.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I just want to know what cream i can put on it... thats all.  I been using aveeno moisuturing cream with collidal oatmeal and some benadryl but it doesnt seem to help at all and wanted to know more the DRAWING SALVE that i read about online and if anyone know about it.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I also have manuka honey i purchased but havent used it yet but the reason i bought that was for acne red marks and pimples but these aren't pimples, these are bug bites.

<description>&#60;p&#62;I seem to go through cycles where for a long time I feel much stronger and others like I go into high alert and develop a heightened paranoia or anxiety. This is what I've been going through and on Friday I stopped at a local clothing store to pick up a couple shirts and when I came home I put the clothes I had been wearing plus the two shirts into my dryer and didn't like what I found later. I cannot ID it positively or negatively but I'm leaning with much angst towards fearing the specimen is the remnants of what I do not want it to be. I am very very very frustrated because I used to have a USB microscope with a camera and that saved my life more than once when I found things I couldn't ID 100%. I'd take a photo of a close-up and post it here and some hero with lots of experience would come in and debunk my fears and all would be right in my world once more. That broke a long time ago, the drivers no longer worked so I went out yesterday to try and get another and much to my disbelief, Toys R Us had NOTHING!! I got back in my car and started crying because in the meantime I cannot move on. If it's not what I worry it is than I could have had it ID'd and be able to move on and feel relaxed again. Instead I'm sitting here worrying my ass off and thinking non stop about it and it's not fair. Did it come from the new clothing or was it on me?? I am hoping maybe it had been a small spider of sorts because I found renmants of a larger similarly coloured one once before. I sent off a sample to be inspected by Mr. Sorkin but he never got back to me so I don't know what to do. I can't ID these things myself and I cannot currently take clear enough pics of anything to post on here nor can I send my samples away to anyone to tell me with their equipment. I'm stuck!! &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;For the record, the store is Rainbow and I am always super cautious about shopping there. Between the ppl who generally shop there looking like they might not be too clean and the fact that the store is based out of Brooklyn and sells cheaper stuff so there's no telling where it comes from before it hits the racks...  I'll describe what I have in the piece of tape from what I found in the lint. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It's small, about the size and shape of a third stage nymph maybe younger but closer to the colour of a more mature adult bug. There are three legs that are no longer attached caught up in the lint near it, they look kind of long compared to the body but with the naked eye they're still very small. They have four segments and the last segments are long and very thin and pointy. I can't see a head or anything and the large piece or body doesn't appear to have any lines across it. I'm just worried that if  it had had a head, it came off the way the legs did. Either way I cannot stop worrying and obsessing.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Sorry you have misunderstood what I asked.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;If you read the bite primer and the latest British medical journal article on bedbug bites you will know bite diagnostic is not reliable.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I was asking for picture of bugs or cast skins or faecal traces.  If the cause of this is bedbugs then you will be able to find faecal traces.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Once it's confirmed as bedbugs I will know what advice to offer but until it is there is always a danger that the advice for bedbugs could aggregate the real issue.&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;I dont want to take a picture b/c my face is very very horrible looking now.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Well i have acne on my face the last few months.  I would get 1-2 of these cysts on my face but then it would go away.  About 1.5 month ago, i had these huge itch that is on my right jawline.  It was a huge 1 inch red mark and it felt like another cyst pimple but there were 3 of them.   Then as time went by, these pimples didn't even break or get smaller.  I then noticed that when i touched it... this did not feel like a cystic pimple b/c the pain i have on it is not like a cystic pimple.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It wasn't until a few weeks later on, i started seeing more of my face with more these huge spots on my face.  I had thought, this couldn't possibly be acne b/c when i did had acne, it was never this huge.  Then on the left side of my face, i started having tons of red small like pimples which i never ever had on my left side face ever.  My left side of face is clear and rarely any pimple.  Then the left jawline area , right now i got like 8 small pimples on it and I know 100 percent its a bite b/c this isn't how pimples look it.  Also the last week, i noticed that my arms and fingers gotten bug bites as well as i see the 3 step breakfast, lunch, dinner pattern on my hand and arms.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The thing is when i sleep, i put a blanket over myself and thus my hands are under the blanket.  I don't have much bug bites on my hand or arms but i do have those 3 step bites etc and then more around my knuckles.  These go away after 2 days or so and i personally dont really care that much b/c it isn't big.  The problem for me is my face has so many of these bites that it looks like i have severe acne on my face.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;On my right side, i have like 6 of these huge cystic pimples that are 100 percent bug bites.  On the left side of my face i have like 20 bites that are small but it looks like a rash i have.  The thing is it seems like these bugs love to bite my jawline area but they only bite the right jawline and then now left jawline.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The thing is i know i have bedbugs b/c i have found 1-2 bedbugs on my bed when i check my bed every week.  The thing is last year... i had the same cystic pimple spot on the right side of my face that was so inflamed... at that time i thought it was a cystic pimple but i found out a few weeks later it was a bite... the thing was i said it had to be a mosquito bite b/c last year around this time, i had 1-2 mosquitos always buzzing my face when i go to sleep and i couldnt sleep.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;This time im thinking it was mosquito bite as well as oppose to bed bug bite but when i saw the bed bug 3 bites on my arms and fingers and knuckles, that got me thinking it has to be bed bug as oppose to mosquito this time.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Basically if you google severe bed bug bites and you see this one guy who has it around his jawline... thats how mine look.  The difference is except mine isn't that long but its much much more redder and when you touch it, you see 2-3 cystic pimples on it.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;So i want to know what can i put on it to treat it?  I read about the drawing salve cream and wanted to know if it works or not.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Dear limin,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;OK, what's the deal here:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;According to the website, these folks can provide 100% bed bug control using a &#34;natural &#38;amp; non-toxic&#34; type product yet just days later you still see live bed bugs in your home?   Hmmmm .  .  .&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;You may wish to review your service agreement contract to clarify what the warranty actually is.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Additionally, you may wish to re-visit the quality and efficacy of service provided via a conversation with these folks.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;While various pros may charge a wide range of prices for their services the simple fact remains that these folks seem to reperesent that hiring them will provide bed bug remediation to your satisfaction which is 100%.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;However, I'm skeptical about the products they seem to be applying and the fogging of such products thereof.  I know of no reputable professionals who are advicating the use of such products.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Additionally, you mention the term &#34;fumigation&#34; which actually means the application of a biocide gas fumigant within the home.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Please advise if any remaining questions or concerns.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Hope this helps !   paul b.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;So, like you need to like check with all the neighbours like.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;If they are clear then it looks like its one of the occupants of your unit that brought them in.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Resolving bedbug issues is all about facts and finding out what is actually going on not looking to pass the buck.&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hello,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Recently I had my condo treated for bed bugs. The PCO said that the infestation was not that bad about a 2/10. So I went ahead and scheduled a treatment the next day and he sprayed and fumigated the whole condo. The PCO said that it usally takes only 1 treatment to get rid of BB so that I wouldn't have to worry about them again. Unless if somehow I bring them from somewhere else. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;After this treatment I thought to myself thank god no more BB, I can finally sleep in peace again. But on the 10th day while I was sleeping I woke up and saw a BB crawling on my blanket, I flipped out and went a sprayed it with this pesticide spray that they have given me. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;So I called them back and they said that I need a second treatment and that after this one it should get rid of them for good. But the thing is I'm on a budget and cant afford another treatment cause they are asking for the same price, no additional discount of $399.00. So my question is are the BB back? Did it not kill all of them. What should I do? look into a different company or go with the first one. This is the company I went with : affordablebedbugcontrol.org&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;This situation has taken a mental and physical toll on me. I've not been sleeping well at all. Any help will be appreciated. Suggestion on what I should do.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I think the first step here is actually inspect and asses the risks at the point of purchase.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;If you are not sure simply don't buy it.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;With regards the attic the issue is not how go it gets its that the form of heating is conductive and that is te reason why it will never work.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;You have ruled out the option I would recommend on financial grounds but the reality is that it's cheaper than paying for treatment.&#60;/p&#62;
