    How do I get rid of bed bugs at home I got from a stay at a motel trip
    I brought back bed bugs from a resent trip. I had to replace my bed I've washed everything sprayed with Ortho max and now I'm still seeing very small ones. What's the best way to get rid of these pest?

    Hire an exterminator... you won't be doing this on your own. THese are a very difficult pest to eliminate.

    Smoothy pretty much nailed this one. Bedbugs require INTENSIVE treatment, which normally means expensive treatment. You can hire a company to bake your home, as the bugs cannot live long at 150 F. There are devices to do this without damage to your clothes and furnishings, but they run a couple of thousand per room. You won't have to pay the entire price for an exterminator to use one, but you will have to pay some.

    You can also hire an exterminator to perform chemical treatments, but you'll have to do a lot of preparation work yourself. It's less expensive in money, but it will take longer and involve more work.

    Trying to get rid of them yourself will be an exercise in frustration.
