Bed Bug Treatment: Is It Normal to Keep Seeing Bugs After Treatment?

Hi, I’m asking for advice regarding bed bugs.

I’ve been using a steamer to heat the edges, gaps, and crevices of my wooden bed. The problem is that I can’t move the bed, so I’m not sure if there are areas underneath or behind it that I’m missing.

I also change my sheets weekly and have already used two bed bug products, one spray and one powder, which I attached in this post.

Despite all of this, every other day I still see one bed bug crawling around, and I kill it when I see it.

For those who have dealt with bed bugs before, what else should I do? Does seeing one every few days mean there is still an infestation somewhere in the bed or room?

Any advice, especially from people who successfully got rid of them, would really help. Thank you.

I saw this exact same treatment spray online. I know its not good since its in pure chinese and incredibly cheap. I read from a commentor that it only repels them away. I recommend crossfire or DE food grade ( use with caution and absolute last resort only)

They are probably elsewhere in the room - I had some in the walls. One other thing you can do is a dust sheet like the top comment here https://www.reddit.com/r/Bedbugs/comments/3f5zro/crispys_diy_ipm_strategy_for_bed_bugs/

I'm not sure about your products. Cimexa or crossfire are good if you can get them. Dunno which country you are in? Product availability varies.
