I've been diligently checking my bed, desk, etc. every day

and also getting immensely itchy EVERY TIME, but to be fair, while I've yet to figure out a complete list of "things that make me itchy", I know for certain that "thinking about things that make me itchy" tops it.

My conclusion: Definitely probably almost certainly no bedbugs. (I hope!)

At least, I haven't *seen* any or had any more tell-tale bites. So if there was one, maybe it was a SINGLE one that had just been haplessly transported away from its home and unceremoniously squished upon disembarkment.

If it winds up being helpful in the long term, know that it is possible to hire bedbug-sniffing dogs.

My mom has had to deal with them multiple times due to a family member who lives in a group home. They are tricky, tricky critters!

They are absolutely diabolical. "Tricky" is underselling them.
