I live in a oxford house, which is a recovery house. Lately my housemates and I have been getting bites about our bodies. I have found a flat round bug with legs like a centipede all the way around the body part of the insect. I found this insect crawling across my bed.

You have to get rid of them and everything they ever came in contact with. They're nocturnal, so looking for the during the day probably won't work. They can live on wood, wallpaper, beds, furniture, etc.
Is this what they look like?

The sprays that kill the mature bed bugs usually do not kill their eggs, so you have to call in the professional bug killers to use thier heavy duty chemicals to kill the adults AND the eggs.
But you have to spray every part of the house, apartment building, on all levels otherwise you are just chasing the bugs from one room to the next to the next!

Hi, take the mattress and lift it up. that is where they "live" when humans are not in bed. It really sounds like bed bugs to me. They also live behind the headboard. They will make the mattress almost look like mold is on it. If the bites get really bad, you should go see a doctor. People have gotten real bad infections and very painful soars from bed bugs.

They resemble ticks, that are stressful to squish and generally crammed with blood. in addition they look lots like head lice, yet they generally are stressful to catch, so I doubt that's what that is.

If you've found a bug in your bed, you probably need the same solution as if it were a genuine bed bug.

BED BUGS LOOK LIKE LICE OTHER WORDS (CRABS). THERE BROWNISH BUT THAT BITE REAL HARD AND FEEL LIKE IT'S JUST DIRT ON YOUR SHEET OR PILLOW. AND YOU MAY MAKE YOU BED THE BEST WAY YOUR CAN. BED BUG LOVE SHEET OR PILLOW CASES THAT BEEN ON YOUR BED FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS OR MORE. AND IF YOUR HAVING SEX ON YOUR BED AND HE OR SHE BODY ODOR IS JUST BAD. THAT JUST SAID.
