Entomology (Study of Bugs) - I think I have bed bugs


Expert: Walter Hintz - 10/28/2009

Question
Ok these bug I been having a problem with for like a month now
They are flat, oval shape, little, some move slow and some move fast. I know for a fact they bite, they hide in between the wood behind my dresser. They be on the bed and pillow, I seen overe 10 of them at once on the bed, I sprayed  Raid it kills them but it seem like they just keep coming back and some time when I wake up it be dried up blood on the sheets. What should I do?

Answer
These do look like bedbugs.  You will have to completely strip the bed and wash all the sheets and covers including those in drawers. Separate the mattress and box springs and turn the mattress and us e pyrethrum based spray on the mattress. AS a last resort you need to call in an exterminator
