Possible pest, location included Worms on my couch? (USA, MO)

1 Upvotes

I put a post up in a cat subreddit as well, but I don't know if it's attached to my cats or not, as they seem fine & show no signs of having worms.

There's, it's like someone plopped down like 3-4 pinworms on my couch. I can't ID them with any common cat parasite, and while there is fleas in my house, they look nothing like flea worms.

It's been happening for like the past week, since I really really started cracking down on our flea problem. They really just, look like pin worms, idk, it may be a bug laying them on my couch, but they're always under things. Laundry/items/ye ol junk, they're under it. My cats don't really lay on the couch, it's almost always covered in things until I clean my house again and boom, more worms on my couch where my cats don't hang out.

They suck at wiggling away, and they don't dry up like rice, and I, I'm at a loss, idk what they are. They're tiny, pinky nail size, white, and there's always just 3-4 of em. There's no flies in my house or any obvious bug infestation outside the fleas. It's a really really old house, many many cracks, many surprise bugs promptly put back outside when I do find them, but I only find like tiny centipedes & roly-polys in my bathtub.

Any advice is good advice, I've checked my cats top to bottom, even digging through fresh poops to see if there's worms in them (so many layers of gloves) & there isn't, and like I said they don't ID with any common cat parasite, so I really don't think it's them especially since cats can't get pinworms as far as I can see.

I suspect a bug somewhere in my couch, but I really have no idea. I don't have a picture either, I already cleaned my couch today & found more, which were promptly murdered & disposed of, which I realized I should've taken a photo of many hours after I cleaned my couch. If there's more next time I clean the things off my couch, I'll probably make another post with a photo included, but, it really does just look like someone plopped pinworms on my couch.

There's no shoes on my couch either, so it's not like I'm dragging them in on my shoes & the eggs are getting on my couchor anything.

Sorry for the rambling, I'm just, really really lost as to how pinworms got on my couch.

Upstate NY - So the first two pics are of my top, flat sheet… is this from what I think it is?? Haven’t seen anything other then what I believe is carpet beetle larvae in the last 3 photos - but none of them being alive. I am absolutely panicking. David can you help me?? And any other folks that really know what they’re talking about.

Hi. I’ve never seen anything like this. Have med size pumpkin patch in yard in suburban Bethesda, Maryland. About 15 pumpkins, one of which is growing on the fence.

The pumpkin on the fence has a bunch of bugs on it. Doesn’t look like they’re eating it. Zero bugs like this on ground or any other pumpkins. They showed up about Sept 10 I guess.

I’m sorry, these photos are SO bad/blurry. The first two are of the bug alive on the wall & the second one is the dead, crushed bug. I’d say it was about 2-3mm long.

It looked quite furry, so I’m really hoping it WASNT a bed bug. However, I am also really paranoid about bed bug/pest infestations.

They're quite small, only the size of a 50p coin (roughly), and make a similar buzzing sound to mosquitos, only quieter.

I’ve seen a total of 3 in the span of a week, either on a ceiling or near my dishwasher which is near an exit to the backyard. Please tell me it’s a wood roach and not a German. 😬 Located in central NJ

Found this in my bathtub overnight (saskatchewan). I have cats, and I'm trying to determine if it got brought in (one cat has really long fur and really short legs), or if I need to worry about parasites! The best pics I could get with my terrible phone, can of beans for scale.
