The chances that you have just one? Not likely. Get a reputable pest control company out to your home immediately to inspect it. Have you bought any new furniture lately? Spend the night out or have your kids spend the night out? The truth is bedbugs can be found just about anywhere humans spend a lot of time sitting or laying down. Buses, trains, planes, motels, hotels, schools and grandmas house.I will vomit if I have bugs. What are the chances of just having a random one? No one has bites, not even the pets. We haven't been to a hotel in over 2 months. I always inspect the mattresses closely and keep the room cool (I heard they go to the warmer rooms!) No to everything else. I have had white sheets on my bed, so I have never seen fecal matter. Holy shit. This is creeping me out. And I live... in the North East! OMG. Maybe I will call the pest company that helped out my friend. She was happy with the job they did.
Lots of people have no reaction whatsoever to bedbug bites. When we let the bedbugs in our office feed (we keep them in a container) we have found only 1 out of 10 of the people in our office had any reaction, everyone else had no mark at all.
Just get the inspection. Some companies will even bring out the bedbug sniffing dogs while others search around in the normal hiding laces and still other will set out the NightWatch bedbug traps. New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, R.I, Penn, Ohio, Virginia all have huge bedbug problems. So do Florida, California, Colorado. Good Luck.

I really wish I didn't need to know that Colorado had a bedbug issue.
Then again, you could always think of them as inexpensive, relatively independent, pets.

I now hate you Dakota because of the ewwww thread!
None of the other stuff on the the other thread bothered me except for the Surinam toads. That is freaking disgusting!!!!! I saw that a couple of years ago on some nature show and had nightmares about them!!! (the maggots on some person gums were pretty gross too)

We got the kids a kitten for Easter. I was against it. I told my husband I have 3 animals to clean up after we didn't need a gross cat too. His reply was 'well at least I can wipe my butt'. I asked why that should change my mind. He said its because he is low maintenance. I think he is off his rocker. Now that we have the kitten I Like her. Though she is restricted to the bathroom for a bit because she tried to eat my food. I have told the cat not to mess with the pregnant ladys food. She refuses to listen.
I know your pain. The cute thing in my picture here went for my pizza last night. He then spent about 20 minutes in the bathroom. He just doesn't seem to care.

They never do. I should be used to it. No matter what I never get to eat the food that I put on my plate. Either the kids or husband steal it or the cat contaminates it. Its not that I only make plates for myself, they just Like my plate more than the ones I made for them.
omg thats fucking disgusting!
Im itchy reading this and now need hot fucking shower to peel skin off

Well I guess if worse come to worse then the kids wouldn't have starved to death, look at all the protein meat that was just laying around and already boxed up for them.
Ewwww! Good point. Still ewwww!
sorry...if i was a kid i believe i'd have rather starved

This still makes me giggle. And squirm."No; that's a glass full of coffee beans. Coffee beans; that's all it is".
Anyhow, I have spent hours on the internet reading the same shit that I have known since my bff had bedbugs. Her husband was in Colorado for 2 weeks and brought them home. Anyhow, I have checked all our beds, springs, rails, and still see no signs. But I keep thinking about the baseboards and the fact that they could be hiding other places - even places that *I* mentioned! Sooo... pest control coming Friday. Just keeping my fingers crossed that one hitched a ride from the slumber party my son went to a couple weeks ago. ugh. I will let you all know Friday! And thanks for all the input! I promise, the rest of my house isn't NASTY like the woman's is in this thread. But it isn't toothbrush clean like twiztid's either!

Here's hoping you're right, WhatThe, and that if it was picked up from the slumber party, that it was not a pregnant female.

Thanks for the rep WhatThe! Seriously, let me know if you need any additional advice.

I've only dealt with roaches once.Nasty little motherfuckers.I got stranded 100 miles from home at these peoples house.As soon as night hit the roaches came out.They were fucking on the TV,fucking on the wall they were having a massive roach orgy everywhere.As soon as I got home I hit the shower.I took my pants off only to find 5 roaches making a break for it!Needless to say I screamed like a girl and stomped the hell out of them.{shudder}
"Killing is killing whether done for duty,profit or fun."
I remember when I was young I saw the movie Creepshow. None of it scared me.... until they came to the last story. The guy in the story ended suffocating to death when thousands of roaches craweled into his throat. They later show his body bulging and then they burst from his stomach,arms,throat etc... Seeing this brings the horror of seeing that all back.
omg! i remember that one...the big water bug ones!...i was like 4 yrs old when i seen it....ugh! laying on the floor and the end where the exploded out his stomach

Ok, I am not alone. After I watched that episode of Creepshow I hid the VHS tape because I couldn't handle watching it ever again. My mom got mad at me because she felt she had wasted money on it lmao. But then again for a while I couldn't go outside in the woods after dark after I watched Evil Dead too.
I was surprised lately when I had my partner watch Night of the Living Dead. (I'm a horror fan, and he's a zombie fan, so zombie horror is the only kind I get.) It turns out, that's still quite a scary film, despite the fact that it was filmed so long ago. After the film was over, my partner was actually afraid of being near the windows.
Of course, Shaun of the Dead also scared him. He realized that, as little as we pay attention to other people, we may not even notice if there were a zombie apocalypse. Also, we don't have any guns available at the moment.

My only insect nightmare... I was 10 and went to go brush my teeth and discovered bib black carpet ants crawling in and out of my toothpaste. I believe I screamed loud out enough to get the whole neighborhood's attention.
Okay... My pest control expert just left. She couldn't find any signs at all whatsoever of any bed bugs. She looked over everything with a flashlight, including: turning all of the mattresses, box springs, checking the baseboards and inside all of our closets. She said had I kept the bug and then she identified it as a bed bug, she would immediately begin treatment of the house. But for now, she said keep an eye out. She said have everyone in the house keep checking themselves for signs and to keep checking our house for signs. But for now... she isn't going to put us through the expense and hassle since we really have no idea if what I saw was for sure a bed bug.
So, I will take that as good news. I just hate that it is such an epidemic in this area. She said she used to get a few calls a month for bed bug inspections. Now it can be a few a day. Yuck.
Thanks to all of you again for your tips and support!

Glad you can sleep more comfortably at night, WhatThe.
