Found a bedbug…
Well…I’ve been getting mysterious bites on my arm for two weeks. Not every night, just a few nights. Checked multiple times for bed bugs and couldn’t find anything. Only noticed bites on the same arm every time it happened. This morning I roll over in bed and noticed my arm was super itchy again, I could feel a couple of new bites…turned my phone flashlight on and sure enough, there’s a bed bug right there on my pillow.
After a mild panic attack, I searched my entire bed and pillow. Can’t find a single sign of more bugs, but I know I should assume there are more. There is no poop or anything else. I don’t know if this is a male or female, or the age of it. I just know my child had them at her dad’s house two months ago and now they’re in my house. I can only imagine they’re upstairs in my daughter’s bed too if they’re in mine.
I can’t believe I’m dealing with this right now, I have been up for hours and it’s not even 7 am yet. I have a large household and don’t know how to handle all of this with very little money or help from anyone. There are multiple beds, furniture, so much bedding, clothes, etc. I just bought a brand new couch this year. I don’t have a dryer with heat at home. Spiraling thinking about everything that we could lose because of this.
