Bed Bug

Bed Bug

5952   Hello   I live in downtown Toronto in an apartment building. This bug was crawling on my pillow. I’ve had issues with clothes moths and recently put a lot of Cedar in my bedroom.   This bug did not fly. It was about 0.5 cm in length.   Thank you  Please help.  Katia 

Unfortunately, what you have here is a bed bug or very close relative in the hemipteran family Cimicidae. See http://tinyurl.com/hwz5tea elsewhere on this site for some control recommendations. Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
