Flea

First pic looks like a flea. Second is too blurry.

Bedbugs are extremely difficult to get rid of and spread very easily. You need to be extremely vigilant.

flea

Yeah, I know. My roommate doesn't give a shit and left for the weekend. The landlord came in and sprayed his room and is coming back next week. I'm not sure how efficient she was though, I didn't want to go in his room. I've been spraying his and my doorframes every day, once in the morning and once at night.

What are you spraying with? There's only a few things that actually work on bedbugs.

get diatomaceous earth, it will take care of fleas and bed bugs, you can get a big box of it from lowes for around $30 and is non toxic to animals and humans

Both look like fleas, bedbugs are about the size of a bb. Bedbugs are like a light brown or almost translucent unless they have recently fed, then they're almost red. Bed bugs usually hide in the bed frame, mattress seem, or even on window sills or anywhere near by the bed. a good treatment for either fleas or bed bugs is wash all clothes and dry on high heat and put clothes in tightly sealed trash bags. Then go to lowes and buy a bag of Diatamacious earth (DTE) and LIGHTLY sprinkle around entire house/apartment. Also if you can buy pheromones for fleas that'll help. Leave for a day then come back, vacuume, and clean like a bitch.
Tl;dr hire pest control, probably cost like 100$ or more

Buy a flea collar and put it in a vacuum canister. Vacuum everything. eggs and fleas that are sucked up will die. Spray under couches, pillows, WASH EVERYTHING you can.
Also, the dog needs a monthly flea and tick preventative to keep them off. Don't apply more than once a month or use medicated shampoo too often or you will OD the dog.

Wash shoes and clothes. Flip the mattress and spray both sides and the box spring. Everything the dog lays on gets washed.

You got fleas. Better get to it now before it becomes a major issue.

Former exterminator here: you need to disrupt the lifecycle. Treat any animals you have with advantage/frontline. Borax the carpet and vacuum 2x daily. You can also throw salt on your carpet too (did it when I was infested and it seemed to help). Recommend getting foggers and fogging your entire apartment. One fogger per room.

Things is to act now and act swiftly before you have a major issue on your hands.

No spray works on bed bugs you have to hire professionals

Sprays do work. Tempo dust works too. People just don't know how/where to spray.

Does that light and soap water flea trap work?

thats a flea

Kinda of
They fucking come back - they can live for like a year with no food and just wait and then come out. When we moved in they were in one room, we caught it so early the first exterminator didn't believe us because we didn't keep the bug. Second time they found one and said it was extremely light - they came back and sprayed again also.

Like 6 months later we found another and forced them to come back. Then it happened once again a few months later before they were totally gone.

Vacuuming is fucking huge by you got to do that shit like your on coke. Pure 90+ alcohol kills them on contact but not the eggs so spraying and vacuuming all the time till they are gone is key.

Mother fuckers have burned down there houses doing this (exterminators are expensive and they charge but the room and the bed, most states the land lord is only responsible if the whole building is infested).

Also you have to wash everything you have have and dry it on max high for
Like a fucking hour. Bag everything you can wash and then throw out the bags and use new ones.

It is FUCKING war - these fuckers are designed my mamma nature to fuck your shit up. They read like the fucking terminator.

They feed at night bite in clusters and feed off one person in groups. Vile fuckers.


Bastards.

That spray won't do much for bed bugs. If you live the states the best none controlled spray is bedlam +plus. It's been shown to have a very high success rate in field teats against Pyrethrin resistant strains of bed bugs. It also has effects on its eggs as well. Bedlam is a good knock down to reduce numbers and has a decent residual effect of up to 2 weeks if left alone. Part 1

Steri fab can be used to treat things like your couch and chairs; Items that you can't apply pesticide to. This will dehydrate the bugs and eggs on contact.
Part 2

I'd love to get an exterminator, but my roommate said he doesn't have a job and I can't afford it on my own. He already owes my $60. I've talked to the landlord and should be moving out at the end of the month since someone in the building has a friend that maybe wants to move in.

My landlord said that's what the exterminator used last time.

Be very careful when you move out that you don't transport any of the bugs. The risk is extremely high.

fuck im to lazy to go through steps. heres a decent website for d.i.y bed bug treatment.

heres the link to flea treatment

epestsolutions.com/precor-2000-plus-premise-flea-spray.html

treat the dog with a pyrethrin based pet wash and repeat in two weeks.

with the bed bugs you need to be thorough. they can crawl into any space you can fit a credit card. all cloths need to washed and dried at least 60 degrees Celsius. once cleaned they need to be bagged until all bugs are gone and bites have stopped. hit the box spring and bed frames hard. any tears or holes in the mattress will require you to either toss it or get a decent quality bed bug proof cover. you cant treat a single room. you must treat the whole building if possible. spray floor boards, cracks/crevices, dust in wall voids and behind light switches/ electrical sockets. find harborages and treat directly on the bugs/eggs. re treat every two weeks till there are no signs. treat once more after that for assurance. its best to get a professional pest control specialist in a bed bug case. find one with references and a warranty/
