Question

I cleaned and sprayed for bed bugs once i found out i had them how do i know they are gone for sure?

Answer 1

I would get some type of glue trap and lay them out at night around your room and then see if there are any stuck to them in the morning.  You may also want to get contact spray killer like the enzyme based Kleen-Free that works to dissolve the exoskeleton of the bedbug and have that on hand in case you see one.

But if you see one, then you like have more unless it is just the last one that was resistant to the chemicals in whatever spray you used before.  That is why I recommend a combination of chemical and non-chemical treatment.

Answer 2

if you thoroughly cleaned your mattress you should be okay, but I'm a germ-a-phobe so I would get a whole new mattress if I were you.
