I just moved last week, and threw away everything that was infested, and most everything else. I washed all my clothes and inspected the heck out of dvds. I know I could have brought them with me, but when I had them before I was seeing live bugs, and it was a very mild infestation (I was told). </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/paranoia-1#post-52241 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 12:22:05 +0000 BBcoukHome 52241@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Hi Natalie, </p> <p>Blood spots on sheets are bites are not definitive signs of infestations so neither of them would mean they are back.</p> <p>I would say that both or either of them do justify a thorough and rigorous inspection of your sleeping area to look for confirming signs such as:</p> <p><ul><li>Fresh faecal traces</li><li>Fresh cast skins</li><li>live samples</li><br /> </ul></p> <p>I would however suggest that you educate all adjoining surrounding neighbours on the issue of bed bugs because a gap in activity can be a strong indication that you are either coming into contact with a source external to the home or that an adjoining unit is infected.</p> <p>Hopefully it is neither and just a false alarm.</p> <p>David Cain<br /> Bed Bugs Limited </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/paranoia-1#post-52238 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 12:15:58 +0000 natalie 52238@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>I have been 5 weeks bed bug free, with no signs of the little suckers, and today found blood on my sheets. It was about an inch long, and neither I nor my husband have any bites on us. (We always react to the bites) Am I paranoid, or are they back? I looked through our mattress (we have a new one, saw no signs of them. </p>
