Go to the pharmacy and buy yourself some bedding spray. This spray is made specifically for this purpose. It is available over the counter without a prescription. Spray your mattresses and sofa according to the directions. The spray contains Permethrin, which kills the bugs and their eggs. This spray can also be used to treat bedding that is infested with lice. Be sure not to use it on yourself, just your upholstered surfaces. Wal-Mart makes an inexpensive generic brand, Equate.

I had a really bad dream about bed bugs a month ago and it prompted me to do a little research about them.
( I thought I might have them and they were just invisible to the naked eye - aparently if you have them you can see them )
Is your bed, or furniture used? That is one way you can get them. Here is what I would do if I couldnt afford a exterminator.
Throw away your mattress and buy - even if it is temporary - an aero bed, they have them as cheap as 25dollars at walmart up to 100 bucks for a nice one that looks like a regular bed. then spray it every day down with lysol. if will give you a safe place to sleep. (*they are plastic and dont give the bugs a place to burrow or hide)
Then just clean, clean , clean, then move everything out of your house, into the garage or storage shed. Give the bugs no place to hide. Then get foggers and spray chemicals and disinfect your entire house.
I would also ask an exterminator if you can buy the chemicals and apply them your self. Let them know you are in a bind.

Well, getting a black light and some bug killing medicine works. With the black light, you can see the bugs on your bed and you just spray the stuff where you see them moving.. Or how about just buy a new mattress?? Spending $100-$1000 is better than losing your life

The best way to get rid of them is to spray your head and foot board with DDT. Don't spray the mattress because DDT is pretty toxic. It will however kill the Bed Bugs 100% guaranteed.

foggers usually work they are cheap too
different types for different bugs but they all can kill you so how different can they really be
if i was you i would buy a pack of foggers and set the whole pack off in different rooms leave for the day then come back and air out the house that will solve your problem
