Hi Ray,
Use diatomaceous earth - also called DE powder.
Bedbugs, as well as a lot of other insects, can become immune to chemical treatments. DE powder is made of diatoms, a hard-shelled algae. It is soft to the touch, but on a microscopic level it is jagged and sharp.
When insects crawl through the powder, it punctures their exoskeleton and they dehydrate and die. They cannot develop immunity to it.
Sprinkle a very light dusting all over the room (large amounts of this powder can kill vacuums). I would also sprinkle it into the mattress and then cover it with a hypoallergenic mattress cover.
It's pretty harmless to us humans (and pets). But you (and pets) should avoid inhaling it. It can also dry out your skin, so keep the skin contact to a minimum too.
And, most importantly, make sure you buy FOOD GRADE diatomaceous earth. The other product is for use in pool filters and is TOXIC.
Best regards,
Melissa
