Question

Most effective way to eradicate bed bugs?

Answer 1

Check your furniture carefully especially your matteress.  I read something that said you should keep the feet of your furniture off the floor.  Place the feet in glass jars or coat the feet with Vaseline.  They can't crawl up into your mattress.

Get some spray that states it kills these type bugs, because all exterminating chemicals does not work on these bugs. Use the spray on your furniture.  Then buy some diatomaceouse earth and dust your mattress with it, and your floors and carpet.  My personal thoughts is to trash the mattress and get a new one, and then do the maintenance.

Check at night for them because that's when they normally appear. When you see them deal with them right then.

Keep checking for them and stay on top of it.  Spray your furniture and dust everything.  

The diatomaceouse earth can be used soley by itself and it can be used on everything, but it makes a mess.  Using both is like double effectiveness.  

You can get rid of them, but you have to work on it.  

Answer 2

I would get a new mattress!

Answer 3

They have special sprays.   I would vacuum the mattress with a high quality like a Kirby, even if you have to rent it.   Then encase the mattress in one of those mattress protectors that are made especially for this.

You may want to consider getting a new mattress.  Sleeping is one third of your life.
