   Perhaps cockroaches.

   Sorry I don't have any resources. Maybe an ento will weigh in.

   Cockroaches are by far the more likely culprit (http://termiteinformationcentre.com.au/images/german_cockiesonl.jpg). Even to the trained eye cockroach feces (especially German cockroach) can look like bed bug feces.
