Soo uhh guys I'm pretty sure I found a dead bed bug on the wall next to my bed.
I checked everywhere and there doesn't seem to be any more of them, should i be scared?
Pic kinda related, it looked just like this.

Yes.

>doesn't seem to be anymore of them
Oh sweet little naive OP, to be so innocent once again.
THERE ARE ALWAYS MORE.

Prepare for hell, OP.
I had bedbugs for years, only thing that got rid of them was moving. Most of my stuff has been sealed in plastic bags for months since I'm worried about them being on it, but I have a lot of shit I can't afford to just toss
You should def panic but I did find only one once in my bed. Took a knife to my mattress even and found no any other trace of them anywhere else after turning my house upside down and living in terror.

Fact #1: there's never just one bedbug.
However, Fact #2: people who aren't familiar with insects somehow see every little brown bug as a bedbug even if it looks completely different.
Your chances aren't looking good right now but it's not hopeless.
Check the seams of your mattress with a flash light and inspect your box spring / area surrounding your bed. If you find live bedbugs, shed carapaces, fecal stains you got an infestation. Then you panic.

I did this before posting,
Also, I'm moving in a month, so I guess It's not too bad?
The bug was male btw and looked like it's starving.

Seeing how big it is, its been there for quite a long time. Get ready for the worst month of your life. What i did was get 3 of those raid bedbug cans, seal off any vents, close any windows etc. Use something to cover your mouth and nose and spray down your room for 10 minutes every 30 minutes. Keep doing this and dont stop. Also at night, i used alcohol to wipe down my mattress, and sealed up any holes in my wall. A month later and they all died. Do this for about 3 weeks and youre good senpai.

How would you know, if you're not even sure it was a bedbug?

The method that worked for me after enduring them for a year was steam. Pesticides didnt work, diotemaceous(sp?) earth didn't really work, throwing all my shit away didn't work.
Finally I got a steam cleaner, took it to every single crack and seam in every surface of my apartment, every brick, every wood floor, every crack in the plaster. Steam supposedly kills them on contact so I must have hit their little hideouts since that was the last of them.
Kinda in the same predicament here. Found one live one and couldn't find any others. Been bit like a motherfucker for weeks now though and red welts all over body. Does any sprays work? I just ordered the bestseller from Amazon
