1) throw what items can be thrown away. 2)bag linens and clothing in plastic bags and place in sun. high heat will suffocate them like dryer hair dryer (120°f/48. 8ºc minimum) 3) depending how bad you have them vacuum are and empty bag outside of home in garbage. 4)alternatively place a bed bug proof mattress cover over an infested mattress to trap the bed bugs inside and starve them to death. this will eliminate the need to purchase a new mattress/boxspring 5) spray bed bugs with rubbing alcohol. this kills them on the spot. use the rubbing alcohol and a dish brush to kill the visible eggs then call an exterminator. 6) bedbugs also succumb to cold temperatures below freezing but the chilling period must be maintained for at least two weeks. attempts to rid an entire home or apartment of bed bugs by raising or lowering the thermostat will be entirely unsuccessful.
