There are many articles that are on the internet floating around that will trick you into believing that if you read it you will be able to get rid of bed bugs. Then once you get on to reading the article, they all point to getting a professional exterminator, which we all know can be pretty pricey.
Now I am not going to guarantee that after reading this you will be able to get rid of bed bugs, but it did work for me. My apartment was infected with bed bugs, and every morning my girlfriend and I would wake up with some bed bugs bites that were not there the previous night when we went to bed.
Double Bed Mattress
I did some research on bed bugs and learned all about their feeding habits, their strengths and their weaknesses and put together a little plan on how to get rid of them. The best thing about it is, it didn't cost much money at all to start getting rid of those blood sucking annoyances.
I moved the bed where my girlfriend and I slept in a couple of inches away from the wall, this way they could not access the bed from the wall, where they like to hide out at. Then I had bought a dust mite mattress cover, so if there where bedbugs hiding in the crevasses of the mattress, they would not be able to get out and feed.
I then put double sided tape on each leg of the bed frame. Now the bed bugs had no way to get onto the bed and feed, seeing as they are wingless creatures and cannot fly.
Next I got a small extension cord and hooked up my girlfriend's hair dryer, turning it as high of temperature as it would go. Then I started to blow the hair dryer on suspected spots where bed bugs might be hiding out, like behind outlet plates, night stands, cracks and crevasses.
The mattress wasn't badly infested at all so all I did was go up and down the mattress with a hot iron, paying special attention to the cracks and crevices. Along with that I also went up and down the mattress with the blow dryer.
After going nuts with the blow dryer, buying the double sided tape, and buying the dust mite cover, I have not noticed anymore bed bug bites to this day, which is about 8 months later. So will this work for everyone? Maybe not, but it did work for me as I got rid of the bed bugs before the room became majorly infested.

Black Friday Luna Premium Hypoallergenic Waterproof Mattress Protector Full Size - Made In The USA Overview
Enjoy peace of mind knowing your mattress is protected from liquid spills, urine, dust mites and allergens by applying a Luna Mattress Protector. Luna Premium American Made waterproof mattress protectors are of the highest quality and carry a full replacement 10 year warranty. As many have found out, once an unprotected mattress is soiled by fluids, it's nearly impossible to fully remove. A soiled mattress can result in an unsanitary environment for you and your family and may even ruin your mattress altogether. If liquids are ever spilled onto the mattress, simply remove the protector and place directly into the washing machine. Luna premium mattress protectors are also a must have for those suffering from allergy triggers such as pollen, mold, dust mites and fungus. Luna protectors prevent allergy triggers from passing through the membrane material while still allowing the mattress to breathe. Periodically wash the mattress protector, like you would your sheets, and you'll be able to effectively remove allergy causing triggers that may be resting on the surface of the protector. Luna mattress protectors work by using premium cotton terry bonded with a hypoallergenic waterproof membrane base layer. To enable the mattress to still breathe, Luna utilizes an exclusive Airflow Technology made up of proprietary microscopic pores in the membrane layer. These pores allow air to pass through while preventing liquids and dust mites from penetrating. The protector's ability to breathe extends the life of the mattress and also works to control temperature preventing our protectors from sleeping hot. Fitted sheet style elastic sides are then attached making it a perfect fit for any mattress profile. As mentioned above, all Luna products are exclusively made in the USA and contain no PVC's or phthalates.SAVE NOW on Black Friday offers below!
