We just moved in to a new place in Chicago (old building though) 6 days ago. Yesterday I noticed my dog sniffing at something while I was across the room that looked like a black housefly. He's been known to eat them so I went over and saw that it was a live bug. I killed it and foolishly flushed it down the toilet even though in the back of my mind I was worried it was a bed bug. I took pics but haven't stopped thinking about it since - even sent the hubs for DE that I plan to use in a couple hours. We have had no bites and are currently on mattresses on the floor. I've checked them but it might be too early. The whole place has wood floors and molding. No spots on the wall but I assume it's freshly painted.
Here are pics - albeit blurry:

Am I overreacting? My husband thinks I am but I am so freaked out knowing how tough BB are to get rid of!
