Is there a cheap way to get rid of bed bugs?

Question by justme:
Is there a cheap way to get rid of bed bugs?

me and my roommate share a large loft studio in Manhattan and have had bites when we wake up in the middle of the night. I’m pretty sure what I have seen are bed bugs but I can’t seem to find the source. I am afraid that an exterminator will be very expensive. Is there a cheap fix for bedbugs?

First actually find the bugs. Read up on them. Then capture one and send one in for identification. Also, wash clothes and put them into specially design plastic bags. You can also do that with your mattress. The key is to partition your space so that spreading is limited. If ID comes back positive, then it’s time for the exterminator. Be sure to get one that understands bed bugs. Ask them some basic questions about it to see if they know more than spray stuff that can kill you. It’s not something that you can deal with by yourself unless you do product development for beg bug insecticides, imho…
