Never found a bug: How long until I can feel safe?
I posted a while back on a different account 2 months ago about finding some spots on my pillow/couch. The pattern of the spots didnt really match up with what bed bug fecal looks like for the couch, and a lot of the spots on my pillow were long streaks and not dots so I felt safe for a bit.
Never found a bug, never got bites that I know of. I've got plenty of bumps but my doctor said they look like eczema/pimples/clogged hair follicles so i don't think Im too worried about that. I've had interceptors on my bed for around a month and a half as well, with my bed away from the wall.
Recently I found this stain on my pillow that looks fairly old but it kind of renewed my worries a bit. Outside of this, I have not found anything new at all and have never had confirmed bed bugs. Just paranoia.
How long until you can generally feel safe? I still do weekly checks when I wash my sheets and plan to break apart my entire bed frame (wooden, no box spring) just to be 100% sure with that this weekend. I've never knowingly been exposed to a bed bug but I briefly walked into an apartment lobby with apartments that definitely have them, so I've been thinking about it so much.
I just want to feel comfortable decorating my room and putting my clothes on my bed again lol.
