I can’t see a picture?

KateSmithy · 30/09/2022 14:10

Have you got a picture? I've had to deal with bedbugs before, so can try and help!

HappyHamsters · 30/09/2022 14:11

Try and post a pic. If they are you need to get a specialist company in, they are a bugger to get rid of.

The photos are really blurry and difficult to see but I don't think they are. Bed bugs are apple seed shaped

SalviaOfficinalis · 30/09/2022 16:39

Have you been bitten by them?

Difficult to say with the photo quality but they’re probably carpet beetles like in the link posted above.

Anablav123 · 30/09/2022 16:40

I know when i try to upload them they become blurry for no reason

Anablav123 · 30/09/2022 16:54

It’s too difficult to tell from your photos. Chances are, if they had been in your child’s bed, your child would have been bitten and the bites are extremely itchy. This is what bed bugs look like:

Yikes, that horrible photo of the dreaded night nippers! Took us ages to get rid and I was crying in despair. Op I don't think you have bed bugs, looks like some kind of larvae, carpet beetles? Get some medical grade diatomaceous earth, it's kryptonite to most wee beasties, moth grubs, bed bugs, carpet beetles etc. Wear a mask when distributing and do it when no one home. I used an old hair dye bottle with a nozzle to puff it out.

Anablav123 · 30/09/2022 19:46

Thank you, im so depressed from thinking they are bed bugs and can bite my children

justanotherlaura · 30/09/2022 19:57

I don't think they are bedbugs, we had them once and they look more like apple pips
