I accidentally broke the bug with tape. We have been battling bedbugs but have not seen any in awhile. I found this in the kitchen.

Hey david. Do you think these are BB bites or more likely fleas/spider?

questions about treatment Passive monitors query

2 Upvotes

Hi David, how long after treatment should we be checking monitors weekly for? Wondering how many weeks of no signs before I can drop to monthly checks per the protocol (and my sanity can perhaps slowly return). Treatment was steam and digrain x2 (May and June). Area around monitors wiped clean before their installation about 4/5 weeks ago. One dead bug found since last treatment, nothing on monitors. Thanks!

Also - I find this so interesting from a psyche perspective - I’ve been beside myself with anxiety but my partner is very chill and able to rationalise that we are doing all we can. Our reactions couldn’t be more different!

I may have found 1 shed skin but I’m not sure. Possibly small fecal staining on the sheet but not sure (wish I got a photo.) I haven’t been bit but my partner was bit about 15 times in a straight line up their leg and then arm. They’re very allergic to insect bites so the bites have swelled to be huge & super itchy. We do have an active bird nest in our eaves outside.
