Bedbug??

Bedbug??
Nashua, nh, New Hampshire, USA
June 29, 2018
Size: 1-2mm
Worried this might be a bedbug… My workplace has been found to have bedbugs so we put these bedbug protector traps on the couch legs in the morning found a number of these strange small bugs… They don’t seem to match any bedbug pictures I see on the Internet but we are very worried. Any help identifying this would be appreciated

No need for concern :)
This is a springtail. You can read about them here. Be sure to scroll down to the Remarks section for advice on dealing with springtails in the home.

Thank you for your responseâ
Thank you for your response… From what I was reading springtails jump… I haven’t seen these guys jump they just seem to run/walk...do you still think it will be a Springtail?

As long as it’s not a bedbug I’m a happy man

They don't all jump.
