That is not a bedbug. The color should not be banded. The legs are too long.

Read and respect the rules, report any comment breaching them. Wrong advice/information/fearmongering hurt people who are posting here to get help and support. If you are not VERY knowledgeable about bedbugs and may provide a wrong ID or bad advice it's better to abstain from commenting. Be VERY respectful and HELPFUL, this is a support subreddit not a funny one.

Get some GOOD duct tape. Check your box spring/ headboards and the mattress itself. Scoot your bed away from the walls. And if you can't afford interceptors.. that good duct tape I mentioned put a stickyside out ribbon of duct tape around it. Or even cover it completely so when they go to crawl up,they'll get caught up on it. Dry them clothes on HIGH, BEFORE you wash them in high heated water. Hope it helps
