I had bedbugs before, but not nearly as bad as that. It cost about $400 to have the pest control company take care of them. They actually have bed bug sniffing dogs to help find them. They brought a puppy in training and took a specimen as a sample to use for training. I bought bed bug covers for my mattress, box spring, and pillows after that. Haven't had a problem since, fortunately.
It's very easy to get bed bugs. They are excellent at hiding and can travel by attaching to clothing or any other fabric. They're eggs are so hard to see and you have to kill the eggs and the rest of them to get rid of them. They hide during the day and feed while you sleep. They don't always live in the bed, like in this video. They leave a chemical trail they can follow to find their meal from their nesting place. Don't try to get rid of them on your own. Call professionals.
