Question by sakura32506:
What kind of bugs are in my bed?! And how on earth do I get rid of them?

Plz help! I have found bugs in my bed (so far, only on the sheet), but I have no clue what kind. So far, I have only seen them on the sheets. They jump 1/2 cm when poked lightly. They are black (or a VERY dark brown). I sometimes get itchy bites that last for a while (no particular area, it seems randomized), but there is no bullseye pattern to the bite (and it is just ITCHY, no pain). But they’re not just in the bed – in clothing too, and I even saw one on my budgie!!! I looked up mites, bed bugs and fleas, but nothing fits the description. What kind of bugs are they? And how on earth can I get rid of them?

clean your house, take a shower. If you have a dog give it a bath, wash your sheets, and all your clothes in boiling hot water.

I would wash all my clothes and sheets in bleach/color safe bleach and HOT HOT HOT WATER, Throw the Mattress out. If you cant afford to Go to target and get a vinyl bed cover, if you have carpets, shampoo them, look for a good cleaner. Also, if you have a dog or cat check them and dont let them sleep with you. Check for ticks,Lice, Bed bugs, Fleas(I think it’s this) It’s the only thing I know that jumps. Good luck
