Sprays will not kill bed bugs. You really need heat to do this. Put everything you think is infested in black plastic bags and put them in the sun for two weeks. Go over every nook and cranny and piping on the edge on your mattress and kill them. They get into cracks in the floors, walls, furniture, etc.. They are horrible and very hard to eradicate. If you live in an apartment - move - as your neighbor probably has them and they will crawl back into your apartment. Bed Bugs are epidemic in the US - go online and see.
Using Simple Green DAILY on ALL wood products, on the walls near the outlet plugs, and any cracks or crevices will help get rid of them. Spray your mattress, wash all bedding and linens in hot water and dry in hot drier to kill eggs. Both sides of the mattress must be sprayed, the box springs on sides, bottom, everywhere. Spray your headboard, dressers, everything and do it daily. It won't harm pets or children. If bed bugs get in it or are sprayed too much it will kill them. Simple Green is bio safe! It is the only thing I use for cleaning due to my allergies and not wanting chemicals in my home. You can get it at Walmart in auto/boat/camper section and at Menards in cleanser department. You can use dry Sevin dust where your pets or children won't get in it to help get rid of bed bugs. Powder the places you won't sit, crawl (children), or lay down, and where pets won't go. It kills them but you have to be careful to only put it like behind the dresser, behind bedboards, under box springs in bed frame etc.
Diatomaceous Earth is a great product to use to kill any insect with a exoskeleton. It is safe for kids and pets. I would sprinkle it all over the carpet and bedding. Leave it on for a few days and then vacuum up.
Killing bed bugs is not that easy. Remove all bedding and any thing else in the room,wash in very hot water,vacuum every crevice on the bed frame as well as the room.Apply safe powders as borax,food grade diatomeous earth etc. However you will still need more for the infestation.Sometimes the natural approach is not enough
