    So I found this small bug (the size of a long grain rice) this morning on the refrigerator and once again entered the paranoia mode. I know it might possibly be just a roach nymph but it seems sort of brown. Sorry for not being able to get more clear pics, my camera is indeed limited...

    I know this could be frustrating, both for me and for these who view the forum...but the thing is it is driving me upset by every single little red/brown/red spots...

    Not a bed bug.

    I can't tell you what it is, but it's not an adult or a nymph.

    Thanks, Buggyinsocal and Effeci...right now I've collected quite a library of bug samples, some of which had been identified, including silverfish nymphs, book lice, roaches, etc. and the rest of them still unknown. I've also got at least five glue boards dotted heavily with flying gnats, which comes out of no where since I rarely open the windows, even the door. Be it in Arkansas, it might be normal for most of them but so tiresomely abnormal for someone who has had bed bugs...

    Do you have houseplants? They may be fungus gnats. They often appear in homes if plants are too watered (they feed on molds)

    I think I could say for sure that there is no plant in the house. I dumped most of my things when I moved in and the apartment is unfurnished...I thinking of waiting for some time to see if there's more of them coming out and then get Raid or some other spays...
