Lately I have been finding black bugs in my bed. They are little but I only find like one or two on my blanket. I took off my sheets today and washed them. I looked in all the creases and anywhere they could hid in my matress and I can’t find any bugs. What do I do to get rid of them? and are they bed bugs?
Well I do have bug bites on my legs but my mom said they were from mosquitos.

Hi everyone I wanted to let anyone who is dealing with these critters a way to kill them I haven’t had a problem with them for a month. Now its kill on contact so you actually have to see the bug and spray it or the eggs. Do this for about a week I know it is time consuming but it worked for me.
get rubbing alcohol obviously it depends on how big your house is and how much furniture you have on how much you need to buy.
Spray the nests that are probably on the underside of your bed or chair or couch. you’ll need to vacuum your bed and if your bed has a design on it vacuum the design as well go around every crease every crack. Use Vaseline on and wood parts near the floor like the legs. These bus will not cross a Vaseline barrier. Then clean out any clutter you have. Throw your clothes ALL of them in the dryer for 30 minutes, not at one time. Just do a normal load and put it in on high heat. hang them when they come out of the dryer. spray all your furniture where you have seen a bug vacuum it. Vacuum around your base boards, then tape or block off all unused plug ins and light sockets. Bag your bed in a bed bag or if you can’t afford one use plastic wrap. This worked for me. Just try it before you think I am crazy.

For a while, every time I would lay down to go to bed I would itch uncontrollably. I began to think that maybe I had bed bugs, though I had no bites. Not long after that I saw a tiny little brown bug in my room. I killed it and told my family that I thought that maybe there were bed bugs in my room. They didn’t believe me and said that I was crazy. After that, I washed all of my linens and curtains an dvacuumed my box spring and mattres. I haven’t been itchy at night for a long time now but yesterday I discovered three bites on my legs. They aren’t near each other or in rows like most bed bug bite pictures I have seen. I just checked my mattress and box spring and didn’t come across anything too suspicious. No dead bugs or anything like that. There are some stains on the box spring but I’m not sure if they are bed bug stains. I vacuumed the box spring and mattress again and am washing everything in hot water as I type this. I also sprayed the bed with lysol and have my bedroom window open. I keep my room pretty clean and haven’t stayed in any hotels as of late so I don’t know how I could have gotten them. I’m not sure what to do since my family doesn’t believe, me I can’t call an exterminator.

Today as I was cleaning a wound on my leg, i noticed a little grey/black beetle sort of bug, so I flicked it off, i looked where it landed and there was about 4 near my window (not on the window, still on the floor)
So I kill them, I then look at another part of the floor and I notice another, I keep looking and found 2 more hiding under my wardrobe ect. I then decide it’s best to hoover up and keep a few on the floor so I can show my parents later, I’ve just went under my bed, which I used to store all my crap (books, magasines, old boxes, along with alot of dust and a few tiny bits of food and sand which got swept under there over the years) and I hoovered under there and i found more! I’ve not found any so far on my walls or my bed, I’ve checked for bed bugs and nothing, looked at the different types of carpet beetles and none of them look like them! They look like a lady bug but half the size with a black shell and little grey patterns on it, and they crunch when they get squished lol! Any idea as to what they could be and how to get rid of them? Will they crawl on me when I’m sleeping? None of my fabrics are damaged whatsoever, my bed sheets and pillows had none on,

I’m getting a double bed soon and that means I have a chance to clear all the crap from under my bed and get rid of the bastards, the new bed won’t be able to have things underneath it either, so how can I get rid of them??

Look like these but black and grey and no antenna, the legs are more tucked in too.

I had bed bugs since a year ago. i did not notice them since july of 2010. I tried cleaning the house by sweeping, watching sheets and spraying chemicals but they are still there. i kill like 50 everyday and they don’t seem to decrease numbers. i believe they are sucking at least a liter of my blood every week . I called the bug exterminator and after spraying chemicals he told me not to stay in the house for 3 days until the chemical effect is done. i waited in my friends house for three days and when i return they are still some left. i bought new mattress, bed sheets and pillows and they still there. man, why aren’t they disappearing. one night in the middle of the night i found 5- 10 of them in my legs sucking my blood. i got up and seek to stay in my friends house. i mean they are found in my bed room living room and kitchen. What? do i have to now move out to different apartment for them to get off my house? Any bed bugs experts out there. man they are the worst bugs in the world. i wished i had mice or roaches instead of them. can you please give me advise?

I’m visiting a friend, and I keep waking with bites on my arms, legs, wrists, legs, etc. Even my scalp itches. I know this is a big problem on the East Coast due to the materials brought in from foreign countries that don’t have the restrictions the USA does. How do I deal with the itching? I have to be here another 3 weeks.

I don’t have a bed frame, so my bed doesn’t have any legs. It’s just a box spring and a mattress. Do I coat the Vaseline around my box spring?

I haven’t seen any obvious signs of bed bugs (no blood spots, feces, or eggs so far), but I’ve been getting itchy red spots after waking up in the morning for the past 3 days.

Any tips on how to catch/trap these little suckers would be greatly appreciated.

Definitely not kissing bugs, more no legs are visible without flipping them over, like I said like a ladybug.

Is it psychological or physical?

A few months ago I discovered a poisonous spider, a brown recluse, in my bed. I killed it. But ever since then with the knowledge poisonous spiders are living in my bedroom, I’ve been experiencing crazy things.

It doesn’t help I found a spider crawling on the couch weeks later the incident, either.

It even came down to a couple times when I get up and go to the kitchen or restroom and I hallucinate swarms of gnats are flying EVERYWHERE around me, and moments later disappear. They don’t scare me since I know it’s an illusion, but it’s still freaky.

I always feel a twinge of PAIN or an intense itch as if a spider is biting me or if some other bug is biting me. I also feel like bugs are CRAWLING on me.

I feel a "bite" on my arm, and nothing is there. Just the feeling of getting bitten by invisible bugs.

I get "bitten" everywhere. Particularly my legs, back, arms, and chest. I actually was bitten by an ant when I woke up one morning, but that’s long taken care of.

How do I get rid of this problem? Am I psychologically disturbed? I’m just tired of being "bitten" and "crawled on" by non-existant bugs!!! >_<

Ok so I was sitting in my bed reading when I noticed a small brown bug walking on my bed (towards me). I later read about bed bugs and the bug matched the pictures I saw. I also have been waking up lately with 1 or 2 bites, which I thought were mosquito bites until now. I searched my room for places where they hide, and even sprayed my furniture, carpet, mattress, box spring, and well everywhere possible (with bed bug killer spray). I didn’t find a "nest" so I was wondering if maybe I was overreacting. Is it possible to have a single bed bug on your bed? Because I only had a few bites at a time, which didn’t look like the bites a swarm does (I saw pictures). I slept in my parent’s room for a night and didn’t get bit either. I was also wondering if there was a way to prevent more from coming. I heard vaseline on your bed legs helps but well I’m not very sure. Advice anyone?

Okay, so I have a friend who has been getting these bites and recently found out that she had bed bugs. About a week ago, I went over to her apartment and absentmindedly sat on her bed to watch some youtube videos. Now I’m finding these red spots that I thought might just be acne, but they’re starting to show up on my legs. How worried should I be about having bedbugs now?

Last week my next door neighbor stopped me in the hallway to inform me that the 5th floor had a few reports of bed bugs (we live on the 6th floor). Ironically enough, 2 days later I had 2 bites on my legs and my boyfriend had a few on his stomach. I flipped out and went to Bed Bath and Beyond and bought vinyl mattress covers and white sheets and sprayed the hell out of my apartment with bed bug spray. We also cleaned the place from top to bottom. We found NOT ONE BED BUG on our mattress or box spring. Since having the white sheets we also haven’t had any fecal or blood traces. We also had our super bring in a PCO to make sure we were clear; he claimed me were, but we had a few beetles so he told us to use a fogger to get rid of those and suggested maybe moqsuitos were biting us.

Fast forward 2 days and my neighbor tells me that she found a few bed bugs on her mattress. Does this mean that perhaps they’re in the wall and that’s why I haven’t found them on our bed or frame???

ok i am constantly being bitten by bugs in my apartment. I see them crawling on my bed and at first i thought they were bed bugs. I got mad because my mattress was bought new and is only 2 years old and i thought i would have to throw it away. Then someone told me they could possible be fleas from the other residents who have pets. I have ALOT of residents with pets. They told me you rarely ever see bed bugs you just get bites and see evident like bed bug poop on your bed. Yes, i have seen dark marks on the outside of my mattress but these things come out in bright daylight and they don’t really take the courtesy to hide. They just come and get me! I have seen them in the corners of my room dead cuz i sprayed a little bug spray the other night. i have even seen a few in the living room coming to get me! I was on the couch and yes two of them were under me , i turned on the light and saw them , turned my head for two secs to get some thing to kill em’ and they were gone. they mostly concentrate in the room either on the carpet or bed ( mostly bed). When i first noticed them i got bites all over my body while in bed. I broke out in hives and a first i thought i had some terrible disease and consulted a nurse who also thought they were hives. my whole arms were covered in bruise like bites ( large) and very very itchy. All my legs and just about everywhere. I have seen the bugs that did this too me and they are brown, flat, and about 1/4 of an inch in thickness. I can’t even sleep peacefully anywhere in the apartment wit these blood thirsty monsters around. What are they, and when will the leave my bedroom so i can enjoy my new bed???? How can i KILL these suckers??

Several years ago I lived in an apartment in Chicago. I used to find these insects in my apartment. Often I would wake up with rows or small itchy red bites on my legs and arms so I assumed they were bed bugs. I subsequently moved and never saw another for several years. Last month I moved to NY. I was surprised this morning to find one of the same bugs in my apartment. I am wondering what it is. It resembles a very small spider, is reddish brown, hard shelled, has roundish shape with a pronounced lower section, a very small head and walks slowly and in a sort of mechanical way. It doesn’t look like any of the pictures I see of bed bugs. It looks more like a tick and isn’t black or jump like a flea. I don’t have pets and live on the 6th floor of a building. I found this one in my tub. I am no idea how it got there. In Chicago I used to find them, rarely alive, in my bedroom or dining room mostly. I lived in a timber loft and they seemed to hide or live in the wooden beams.

Hi, Recently I have discovered myself getting biten by some kind of insect while I was sleeping since about the beginning of this year. The biten place became red, and it itchs and kind of hurts like a flea bite, however, there is no animals in my house. I accuse it was bed bugs because I mostly discovered the itchy-ness after I woke up.
I caught a flea ONCE in my dining room, which was the ONLY time that my other family member got biten. Other than that, none of my other family members got biten so I accuse it is in my room, so I don’t know if that was related to this.
I tried to change my bed sheet, and bug-sprayed my whole room. The biting disappeared for a month or two and it begin all again. It already re-happen 3 times and now I am afraid to sleep in my room.
What bug could be biting me, and how in the world am I going to kill these darn bugs for good?
Oh and, all the rooms in my house have carpet installed except the dining room and the kitchen
if it is laundry detergent, wouldn’t I got it all over my body? These itchy-pains are mainly on my legs and ankle. there was only one time that went on my body.
Plus, what would it look like if it was the laundry detergent?
Actually now that I think about it, I am NOT SURE if it is bug bites or not. I have NEVER caught any blood-sucking bugs in my room.
but after I sprayed my room I did stop getting red itchy and pain lumps for a while until it all start again
I tried Bug Fogger as well among with bug spray

I have been feeling itchy down there for about 4 days now, but I have looked many times and there is nothing visibly wrong with my skin. This morning when I woke up, I saw about 6 black dots on my sheets (but not on my pillow case). It’s possible that it was from my cat sleeping on the bed, but I was feeling paranoid so I immediately washed my blankets, sheets, and pillow case.

I was feeling a little better until I went into the shower and looked at my loofah. I hadn’t used it since yesterday, but I was unable to use it today because I realized it had similar looking blackish dots (not really circular shaped but I will call them dots for lack of a better term) on it.

I took a magnifying glass and tried to figure out what they were, but I still couldn’t tell. I couldn’t see any legs or anything indicating bugs. This is the first day any of this has happened. It’s possible that the things on the sheets were from my cats and that the things on the loofah were from the rust in the bathtub, but since I have been having irritation in the genital region (not visible but still not normal feeling), I am paranoid. Please tell me what to do…I looked at pictures of bed bug and public lice online and the photos don’t seem to match up with what I saw.

for the past 3 nights i have noticed small red bumps on my skin. it started in my arm and then over the next 2 nights extended throughout my body: my feet and legs, back of neck, thighs…in other words, just about everywhere. i was looking into it, however i am confused as to if it is bed bugs or fleas that are responsible for these bites…btw, my brother has them too. comparing them to pictures i can’t really tell the difference between both bites so i am not sure what to do now. anybody have advice on how to go about this?
(i have looked around my bed and i have found nothing)
thanks!!!

Every morning I wake up with more and more bites on me. Earlobe, arm, back, legs… They itch but are not painful. Yesterday I took all my covers off and saw a small, triangular, brown bug. It looked like a bed bug but not one I had seen before. I’m thinking of using a Bug Bomb (also known as a Fogger) to get rid of them, but my friend said they will return later on. Is there a permanent way to get rid of bed bugs?
