there is a product that is called “Bedbug Shredder” available on the web that works pretty good at getting rid of the nasty little things

Steam cleaning and vacuuming will help reduce the number of bed bugs but it will not completely get rid of them. Bed bugs are small enough to hide in places that the steam cleaning cannot reach. If you have been keeping up with the news on theses little critters lately they are saying that bedbugs are going to become a fact of our daily life. Our ancestors had no way of eradicating them and since we have discovered many of our pesticides are more harmful than helpful we may have to learn to live with them.
Not likely. To many places for them to hide. However, if you live in a place where the temp goes well below freezing for extended periods of time….try putting the couch outside for several days. That should take care of them. I don’t think bedbugs can survive freezing temps. …but I could be wrong.
No, get rid of the couch.=)
There’s a different kind of steam cleaner available for bed bug removal. I have bought a bed bug removal steam cleaner from Daimer Industries & it’s working superbly. Just try it…
