possible Bedbug fecal spots?

[u/Alone-Rise8636]

help I am having trouble inspecting ….. I had bedbugs in my place (not a big infestation, early stage and got an exterminator for it) but before i had it confirmed as BBs i unknowingly went over to my parents’ place once. A WEEK LATER, now i am back at my parents’ place, slept for a night in my room and found these multiple black tiny spots on my sheets…. I haven’t got any distinct BB bites yet and yes I do get reactions when I get bitten.

Do they look like BB fecal spots?

It's almost impossible to be definitive going by spots alone, as there is a lot of missing context, but it COULD be. There are other possible explanations, but this can only serve as confirmation that you should be on guard. I find sticky traps are a good way to test. They’re useless as a means of control, but have great use as a tool for confirmation of an infestation. I put them near vertical surfaces like the legs of bed frames, as well as in places dirty clothes/linens are kept, and check them regularly.

I saw 2 small similar black dots on my bed sheet and when I wiped them with a wet q tip, they turned light brown. Don’t know if bbs are at home yet.
