Dude, I’ve been dealing with bed bugs too! I think I have gotten rid of these blood nasty insects. I haven’t had any bed bugs bites in two weeks. I called out an exterminator, but those guys were way too expensive. I couldn’t afford to pay some exterminator hundreds of dollars to help me.
You should check out http://www.bed-bugs-how-to-get-rid-of-them.com. The site has a lot of great information about treating for bed bugs, and the guy works for a pest control company.
Best of luck to you man! Let me know if I can give you any helpful tips!

Info Geek has the best suggestion, and I have also had experience ridding several rental properties of BED BUGS
PAY for an Exterminator, before you try to cure them yourself.
The reason is, your pesticides are not as strong as what the exterminator can use.
So all you will do is chase the little buggers back into cracks and crevices where they will be safe from insecticides used by the professionals.
You can also buy for your bed. a BEDBUG proof mattress bag. $ 150.00 on average.
The bugs cannot get a place to nest with cover on the mattress, neither can any few living bugs escape out of the mattress bag to do you more harm.
Boric acid, after the exterminator, to line the cracks in the floors, and the cushions of couches, even hard wood furniture can hide bed bugs where the wood is . Boric acid will seep into those places.
And around cracks in floors and doors. It will help to protect from dirty neighbors.
How ever for you personally to help calm the bites, use Benydryl cream, topical antihistamine along with taking Benydryl orally.
That will help to relieve the itching from the bites.
Also consult your Doctor so the bites do not become infected from you digging at them!
