   Hi, Long story short, I've been battling bedbugs since I moved into a student apartment 4 yrs ago. I recently moved back home and I am still getting bites which looks like bb. I am really hoping I did not take them home with me. This is all I could found - there are about five of the them. Is this a bb? Thanks!

   100% not a bed bug. It is likely a beetle.

   Thanks! I know it looks different from the BB I've seen before but its good to get a confirmation. We had a pretty bad infection couple mos before I moved out (inspector did 3 treatments before it was clear again) and I put everything from my apartment into a storage room after cleaning and drying. I am not sure what is biting me, since I get 1-2 bite once a week. I went on a month long family trip and found new bites during the flight and the trip. I was the only one with the bites tho even family members were sleeping in the same room. I think I am going to look into allergic reactions or phantom bites. Will get BB cover to wrap the box spring and bed, as well as the usual (vacuum/clean/dry) routine just to be safe.
