Bed bugs can be very hard to get rid of. Most exterminators will not give any warranty with their service. Did you wash all your clothing, linens, curtains in hot water? Heat will kill the bed bugs. Did you check behind pictures, behind all the furniture, under the furniture? Did you pull out the drawers of the dressers and check underneath? Did you check the inside of the dresser once the drawers were pulled out? You have to check everywhere! Unfortunately, it's not any easy job, which is why professionals charge so much to get rid of bed bugs. An exterminator can spend at least 2 hours in just one bedroom getting rid of these pests. You have to clean everything. Get yourself a steam cleaner and use that on every surface in the room. Also check other rooms, because you may have taken the bed bugs with you into those other rooms and not realized it. Just because they are called bedbugs doesn't mean they limit themselves to your bed! They will stay as close as possible to their host- YOU! Please respond to this comment so I know what you have done. I may have some other ideas of what you can do. I need to contact my personal source for more information. I also advise you to purchase a zippered bed covering for the mattress instead of tossing it out. Mattresses are too expensive. A covering can be bought at the larger department stores just as Sears or J.C. Penneys. The cost might be a bit high, but you should be able to find one. Be wary when you sleep at someone's home or in a motel or hotel. Check the mattress for any debree (looks like crumbs) which will mean there just may be bedbugs in that room. Never put your belongings on the floor, including your purse or suitcase as bedbugs will hide in there. Remember that they like dark places.
