I killed this really teeny tiny bug that was yellow-ish white... not sure if it was a bed bug? I only killed one last night and i got scared so i didnt sleep in my bed that night...
Bed bugs can come in many colours as when they are not feeding they appear lighter in colour, after they feed they become reddish brown colour from the blood they have been sucking. The best thing to do is thoroughly search your bed area and inspect it for reddish brownish marks bed bugs are known to leave. At this point you would want to completely get rid of those items and start treating your environment.
It's impossible to tell without seeing a captured insect. Several insects look like bed bugs including young roaches, beetles etc. I'd suggest the following: 1. Look at the pictures in the resource 2. Call in an exterminator and show them a sample (online search engine for exterminators in reference 2) 3. Bring the sample to your local cooperative extension office. Most will look at a sample for free. Your local department of health could probably let you know about a local resource. 4. Send the sample to an online company called Indentify LLC that will identify the insect for around $20 (resource 3) Be sure to act quickly as insects such as bed bugs can multiply fast causing a large infestation.
