just moved in with my boyfriend not too long ago since i was sleeping here every night anyways, and the night before last night i noticed itchy misquito looking bites on my arm and my legs. thought it was maybe a spider that didnt like me very much one night and would be gone, this morning i had more bite marks! so i start peeling apart the bedding after doing some research and thote it may be bed bus, and sure enough, i found one almost 1/4 inch long under the mattress. my boyfriend burned it with a lighter, hopefully it killed it because we were keeping it in a shot glass to show the landlord, and it got knocked over, so i was starting to go through the bedding i placed in the hallway while i cleaned the room, and a found another, but much much smaller on the sheets. got that one, and i put all of the clothing and all of the pillows and all of the blankets it was around into tightly sealed trash bags. i poured baby powder all over the carpet [a web site said that if you do this it will have a more likely chance of keeping any bugs from surviving in a vacuum cleaner] and so now everythings bagged up theres a matress cover on the bed and i have no idea were they came from, was at the house for months and didnt get bites or notice any bugs until two nights ago. so i have no idea where they could have come from, no idea where they could be at this point, and im confused to no end and disgusted! i share a bed with my boyfriend, and they did not bite him AT ALL! but i have well over ten bites on me
