Hi New Bedbugger Forum users ("newbites"),
We're glad you found us but sorry you needed to.
Please, before you post, or before your next post, please take a moment to examine posts in the green section on the main forums page (the "green stickies"). I will link directly to the most important ones below.
For your own protection, please read the privacy policy, and terms and conditions of site use.
So we can help you better, so you understand the customs on this forum, and so you don't break any rules, please read the forum rules.
As the forum rules state, please also read the FAQs (at least the first four on the main FAQs page: "Bed Bugs 101").
To learn how to do things on the forums, like how to post a new discussion thread or how to post a photo, see how to use the forums/FAQs about the Forums. If you want to post a photo for ID, here's a shortcut to those instructions (also in the green stickies, for future reference).
While "bumping" up threads is generally frowned upon without good reason, I encourage you to BUMP this post by responding to it, so other newcomers will see it pop up in the ranks. (Normally, I add something to the Green Stickies if everyone should read it, but this is not always the first place newbites look.)
Thanks for reading!
