I can understand your problem.My experience is that if you leave your bed,cushions,bed sheets etc in the sun for some hours,you can get rid of bed bugs.We do exactly that.We leave all our cushions,bed and bed sheets in the sun for three to four hours once or twice in a week and the problem gets solved.Try this once.

I have had the problem many times in the last few months.To get rid of bed bugs we just keep the bed,the cushions and everything else in the sun and leave it there for three or four hours.It works.You may try it once.

The others have suggested some really good things. Honestly i don't know all that much about it. Some people say just burn the stuff that it has infected and get all anew. What I would do is to wash the bed clothing twice and then dry it. I'd take both the mattress and box spring and steam clean it I'd do the same with the pillows. I'd vaccuum the floors really good and dust all around the room. I'd make as much of a cleanly environemnt as I could. If this still didn't work? I'd call a professional.

My sister and hubby think they brought some bed bugs home when they went on vacation. They think it was from the hotel they were they were staying in. So my sister did some research as she is all about not using chemicals and being green and she found Diatomaceous Earth online. I guess it's basically some kind of ground up rock that is non toxic to humans . . . but for bugs that have exoskeletons (like bed bugs, cockroaches, earwigs, etc) that walk through it, it's like walking through blades and it cuts them up!! So it's considered safe - people can even eat this stuff but I don't know any more about that part of it. Apparently it worked out really well for my sister and the bed bugs disappeared! Best of luck! I've never had experienced having bed bugs, but I heard it's highly annoying to say the least!
