Okay, so I realize that this is neither a tick, nor /out/, but the only other place I could think to post this was /adv/, and that shithole is nothing but people whining about being single and whining about SOs, so fuck that place. At least here, y'all have a modicum of intelligence and civility.
Found this fucker while changing my sheets today. It's a bedbug, right? I looked all over everything, every seam of the mattress, blankets, pillows, etc. and didn't find any eggs, shells or stains that would indicate an infestation, I also don't have any visible bites, but it looks pretty well fed and fully developed.
I think my options are:
1) Gas everything now with CO2, which probably wouldn't help if I tracked this one in and it just laid eggs.
2)Dust everything with diatomaceous earth and hope that if any eggs hatch, they get shredded before they reproduce.
3)Just check everything every couple of days until I either stop worrying or determine there's an actual problem.
Now that I've seen the bastard, I itch everywhere. God damn it I hate bloodsuckers.
