My tenant sent me this picture this evening and thinks it is a bed bug but he found it in the kitchen cabinet and did an inspection on the rooms and found nothing. There were 4 of these things in one of the cupboards.
It sure looks like one from the pictures I've looked online but it doesn't seem to have the oval body that bed bugs have.
I'm not an expert, but that doesn't look like a bed bug to me. Too big, and too oval. I think bed bugs are more rounded, and only grow to be about a half centimetre.
The picture makes it hard to get a sense of scale, but would I be right that the bug in the pic is more like 1cm? If so that would be a really big bedbug.

I didn't see it in person but he said it was real small. I'm much more relieved after finding that confused flour beetle picture as I think that's likely what it is. I would hate to have to pay for an expensive exterminator right now.
Is this a bedbug?
