Do bed bugs feed exclusively on human blood. – If so, how long could they live without it ? – After a deep cleaning of an appartement, including clothing etc, if we leave the apt for, say, 2 weekds, would it help ????

Here's my theory: About three weeks after a trip to Italy, I began getting classic bed bug bites. I didn't know it then, but a lot of research showed me that large welts in patterns of "breakfast, lunch and dinner" that itch like mad and take forever to go away, must be bed bugs. Our apartment in Italy had french doors that opened onto a patio that was home to hundreds of pigeons. When we opened it to get air, we might as well have been living in a pigeon coop. That would seem a likely way to get bird mites but the initial bites we got were very typical of bed bugs. After an aggressive treatment and not sleeping or relaxing for several months, the big bites stopped and we began getting the tiny pinprick kind. They come on suddenly and make you jump a little..actually, I have seen my dog do this, wake from a deep sleep with a little squeal of pain and a twitch and it looks like the same thing that happens to us. After a few more months of steaming and endless treatment, even showering with Cedar oil, the bites stopped and we got back to normal for three years. Now the pinpricks are back, worse than ever. They seem to bite mostly on the back, crook of the elbow, neck and feet and the same spots over and over again. I have to believe that bed bugs and bird mites are somehow related and that we are now being bitten by nymphs. We don't see anything, but there is no doubt we are being bitten, even though everyone thinks it's a "mental" issue.
I know there are lots of you out there, tired of being called paranoid and looking for something concrete.

Thanks for sharing. I think we may have them brought to us from our daughter which lives in San Francisco and they tell us bed bugs are going crazy there.

Hi Jeff,

These retail stores had this bed bug issue because the employees were sleeping on the job in the back. That is the only reason why they had those huge BB infestations, I'm sure you have seen the pictures…

I have had exterminators in and believe they've gotten the adults, but I think there may be some nests that they missed. (My infestation was very light AND I had slept in different beds pevious to being exterminated, which, I believe, established several very light locations for bed bug infestation.
I think the nymphs are biting now, but there is some disbelief on the part of the exterminators and they don't want to come back. I'm getting pin-prick bites, smaller and larger-than-pinprick-but-not-full-adult-bites – some of which are only visible when I work out. The reason I think they are nymphs is because they have the same constellation pattern.
Do you have pictures of nymph bites? Do you have a picuture of nymphs? Needless to say, I don't want these possible adults to become adult, but it's also possible I'm bugging out.
