Hi all,
I would be so grateful if you could help me ID the photos of the bugs below...I have a horrible feeling they are bed bugs. They aren't in our actual bed or bedroom that I can see but in a small room next to it that we were using as storage. I found several of them in boxes of books/other objects, and some bugs actually in the books. They are very small and move very fast, they didn't appear interested in biting us when we put one on skin. I do have some hves (one or two) on my neck but I am also pregnant so that could be anything. I would be so grateful for any opinions on what these are.
Thank you,
Jane

I can’t open that image.

In accordance with the AUP and FTC (legal requirements) I openly disclose my vested interest in Passive Monitors as employee of the patent holder. Since 2009 they have become an integral part in how we resolve bed bug infestations.

For those that are curious, yes it can be challenging working for David

You had sent me these images but they're not quite clear, esp. zooming in. Not exactly what I'd call bed bug, possibly booklouse.

Thank you for the response, and apologies for the poor quality of the initial images. We captured one to get clearer photos, it would be great to get any opinions on what they are;

Really grateful for any input, and really hoping they are not bedbugs...possibly some sort of beetle?
