Okay, my husband is skeptical, but we are going to get double sided tape and put it around the bed tonite and see if we can catch a bedbug so we can maybe get closer to the ID (saw that on another site)..also we'll check out the surrounding areas to the bed. Will vacuuming them up help or do we still need to treat with the dust and stuff?

Another site said that I should see a doctor to have them ID my bites...but then it was noted here that you cannot tell by bites. So a bit confusing.

Don't think we have bats in the attic..it's a townhouse and I don't think we even have a real 'attic', but rather just have a space up there with insulation. It's only a 2 year old property. I am just surprised that SUDDENLY we have this problem after a week in FL, but not being bitten there at all. It seems like the data is contradictory.

The really odd thing too is that some of the bites faded 2ce as quickly as the others, aka the one on my hand is pretty much flattened and gone and really didn't itch at all, while the one on my arm gotten the same day is still a bit raised and red.

Thanks again for the continued help...
