ok
Believe it or not, do not make your bed whilst you are not in it, pull back the sheets/duvet/blankets and leave the mattress uncovered as log as possible during the day. Bugs love warmth, this will help to kill most of them.
There are also treatments available, Google bed bug treatments.

There are companies that will rid your home of bed bugs. They do it by placing heaters throughout the home and raising the temperature to 135F degrees which will kill them. They hold this temp for an exact time and then allow the home to cool. Of course they first remove anything that will be damaged by the high temp.
Bed bug live in part of bed side use hot boiled water there i think it will work.

I saw your post and want to advise you that diatomaceous earth is very hazardous to your lungs. The reason it is effective on bugs is that it cuts them to pieces as it is very sharp. It will do the same thing to your lungs, so please be aware………….
There are some insecticide sprays that are now being marketed through home improvement and hardware stores like ours. Perhaps that would be a better choice.
Hope that helps.
I am a pest control professional working for a national company. First of all don’t waste your time and money on any bedbug chemical at the home improvement store. Bedbugs are resistant to almost all chemical treatments even the chemicals we use. Most reputable companies have gone to non-chemical methods of treatment as this is the only way to eliminate them i.e. Steam, Heat or Freezing. Make sure that the company guarantees the job for a minimum of 30 days after the final treatment (if they need more than one treatment).
Sure hope I helped.
