I need an expert PCO in las Vegas and would love to know someone locally who has bed bugs! I was reading right before bed and found a nymph on my book. I tried to catch him but missed. I'm just excited to actually see one of the culprits. I've been dealing with bed bugs for 2.5 years and really need help from someone locally in las vegas. Until last month I thought they were gone! It had been 3 months since the last bite. Then it got warm and the bb's came out to play. I've seen no trace of them other than bites since I moved to my brand new house 1.5 years ago until tonight. Too bad I didn't catch it! I need an expert PCO in las Vegas and would love to know someone locally who has bed bugs! I just have just wanted to pretend they don't exist anylonger but I can't do that now....here we go again! I need help!

How do you know that what you saw was actually a bed bug nymph?

When I found it on my book as I was reading at 10pm I watched it walk around on my navy blue book cover for over a minute while I tried to wake up my husband to get a piece of tape. Somehow it got away, much to my dismay. I immediately went to the computer,typed in bed bugs on google images and found this awesome site.It looks exactly like the tiny tan one in the different stages picture. I had to check because I remembered pictures from before only of the adults and didn't expect the tan one. I am almost positive. Are there any other bugs that strongly resemble bed bugs? If not, it was a bed bug. It was sort of quick but not too quick to watch walk around the book. It tended to go towards the shadows. The only other sighting I had was over 2 years ago when I squished one that was biting my leg. It was only half of a bug after the squish so I wasn't totally sure it was a bed bug. I just guessed because until I squished it on me I thought I had spider bites. This has been horrible and I am ready just to say, Well, the bites only itch for a day and maybe the bugs aren't so bad after all. I thought they were gone. I don't want to go through it all again. I even moved them into a brand new house onto a brand new mattress. I haven't yet seen a nest or blood or any trace. Of course, I haven't looked in over 3 months because I thought they were gone! I think we got rid of ALMOST all of them. That's the worst part. I just get a bite or two every night and then the bug on my book last night. I hope i'm hallucinating. BI need a pro to help my find the bb's. Any advice. I'm not ready to leave all my stuff and start over!

Bed bugs only need to feed every few days. Sometimes just once or twice a week. Try to catch a specimen if you're unsure, alive or dead, put it in a sample bottle and take to a PCO. Check your mattress - that's your first move. If you find traces of anything, black smears, live bugs, can be very tiny, and they move very quickly. Look for feces and skins as well. The longer you leave the problem untreated, the worse it will get. It could be something else entirely, or you could have more than one kind of infestation. Best to bring in a dog sniffer or pco.

got em in las vegas,
Look up book lice images and in this site as well, I posted a picture a few month ago. These little suckers can resemble bed bug nymphs to an untrained eye, they do not bite just eat paper.
Book lice are common and universities like Harvard have a team of people that fight these bugs to protect important documents.
You may have bed bugs but you should be aware that book lice are common. -
Why not make a call to one of the hotels on the strip to see who they use? You can be sure they will have a knowledgable pco,since they can't afford not to.Good luck
