I’m pretty sure I have bed-bugs in the carpet of my bedroom. I always spot smallish, black bugs with a reddish tone on my carpet or on piles of clothes on the ground, and i occasionally get small, red bug bites on my arms and feet (might not me from the bugs, but I’m pretty sure they are!) How do I rid my bedroom of these vermin? It’s pretty terrifying.

I’ve had bed bugs for a while in my room (just realized what they are), so I got rid of my mattress & bed frame and sprayed my room, carpet & everything with the proper spray. But they’re still there. Is there any way to fumigate my room? Any product I can use?

An exterminator will come 2morrow, but it’s costly. I just wanna know what I can do to get rid of them if I find them in other rooms my apartment.

There’s a new apartment we want to get. The previous owners left about 2 weeks ago because the bed bugs gave them rashes. There is no furniture left, the apartment is now completely empty, save the fridge and stove. The landlord’s wife cleaned it out, repainted it, if that makes a difference. It’s been empty for about 2 weeks. The previous owner had professionals try to exterminate them, twice, and it didn’t make a difference. Do bed bugs leave if they have no food or humans to feed on? Will there be any bed bugs left, is it safe to move into that apartment? All answers greatly appreciated.
By the way there’s no carpet, it’s all wood flooring.
