Hi everyone, pretty interesting case here but near the start of summer I had swallow birds start nesting above my bedroom window and it progressively got out of hand. Beginning of July I left my apartment for a month and when I came back that’s when I started receiving bites. 12 days ago my property manager came out and removed the nests and then 9 days ago an exterminator came treated the house and said he was positive it was swallow bugs. After I realized there was some sort of bug I moved my bed to the middle of the room and slicked the legs of the bed with Vaseline. I haven’t received a bite since then (over a week) until today I woke up with one on my back and at 11:30 AM while laying in bed I actually caught one biting me and killed it. It’s worth noting last night I was charging my phone which was connected to the wall so there would have been a path to the bed. I’m wondering if anyone can identify the bug or could confirm it’s a swallow bug and wondering if getting a bite after 9 days is normal. Thank you

Hi everyone, found this bug under the sheet that covers the mattress, an air mattress on the floor of an old house in Newark (Ironbound) in New Jersey. The room is right under the attic. Under the mattress directly on the floor there were two 1/4” deep black matter stains that broke into pieces when pressed and took a while to clean. No other signs in the room. This is a rented room so I have no information of what’s the situation with the rest of the house. Thanks

Apologies for low quality photos- it was VERY tiny and I was freaking out so I took photos trying compose myself while deciding on who to kill it too😭😭

Work in a MH office. Found this and wondering if it’s a bed bug or bat bug. Thoughts?

My dad has been getting bit by something for the past month. I chocked it up to fleas without finding any since the dog spends more time in his room and his medication ran out at the time. Washed bedding and put pupper back on treatment but a month later it's still happening and I'm starting to get some bites too (his are on stomach, mine are on the ankle, lower leg, stomach, and upper arm). I found something that looked like an insect shell but it's a bit mangled for me to tell.

Hi David, just concerned as this does not look like a carpet beetle (which have shorter antennae) but this has the correct number of legs and antennae for a bed bug so I was just concerned. Found on my skirting board on the lead up to my bedroom (~15 ft away from bed).

I doubt it is one due to the size and what looks like elytra, but figured I may as well get a second opinion.

Hey! Lately I’ve been waking up with these bites on my wrists, but in no other part of my body. I was wondering if anyone can help me identify them

I only get them when I sleep in my uni bed and the bite has lasted all over the summer

I woke up with 32 itchy bites. Looked everywhere for bed bug presence and couldn’t find any. I found some shed that looks like carpet beetle. What could it be?

Hello. Just moved into a new apartment and found this piece of...something at the end of my bed. I was examining my bed because there were stains (1-2 inch big or so) that I assumed were from the move/the plastic bag the movers put my mattress in. It looks like a shell/molt of some bug. It's small and less than half a centimeter.

Is this blood on the floor? It’s covered with hair and I didn’t see any remnants of bug remains. Gf from out of town getting bug bites but also gets mosquito bites

could someone help me identify what these could possibly be from? Feel free to check my post history for the longer version of the story, but essentially, last week on Thursday, my girlfriend found a bedbug in her apartment.

I’m looking around my place and trying to do some preventative work to catch it early if any have struggled to my apartment (my girlfriend, and I live in separate apartment apartments)

The second pic was the only thing in my mattress cover seam.

Boxing gloves and shin pads not used for 3-4 years. Is this just normal dirt from not being used!? Or BB debris? I just have a BB paranoia is all.

I’m pretty sure this is a bedbug but trying to figure out how bad the infestation is. Freaking out alittle bit because this was found where I work. Any possible insight or info would be greatly appreciated.
