I think i have just found a bed bug....it was in a glass of water at the side of my bed. We have dismantled the bed ripped all the covers off from underneath and we can't find anything at all. We have had no bites either, do you think we could still have them or is it possible that i have found the first one to be carried in ???

No i'm not sure but it does look like one, got it in sellotape to show a friend ! I did wonder how it could have crawled up a glass but it doesn't seem to have wings.

Are you sure it was a bedbug? Highly unlikely if you found it in a glass of water.

I have found 1 a few months ago and not a single piece since, however i am watching extra careful. so yes, it is possible. btw all internet sites I have read recommends heat, not cold. Like Sun exposure for a day or two.

and if it helps, Dubai Municipality does the pest control for free if you complain with bed bugs as the cause of concern. goodnight, sleeptight and don't the bed bugs bite ;)

Some people do not react to the bites so you can have them without knowing. It may be worth it to have a pest control company come in to evaluate the situation. It needs to be down to 13 degrees to kill them with cold. Vacuum and daily linen changes will help.

Hover the bed and leave all the windows open or put the AC on cold. The cold air will kill them
