Answer by Gernot S
Getting rid of bedbugs
1. Strip the beds and wash the sheets at the hottest temperature possible.
2. Keep your bedroom floor clear of obstructions, remove any rubbish that could contain insects.
3. The bed frames, skirting and floors of the affected rooms will need to be sprayed with a residual insecticide.
4. Cover any fish tanks, remove other pets from the house.
The treatment should take 2-3 hours but it is recommended that the house is left empty for 4 hours afterwards.

If you or any member of your family has been traveling that is most likely where you got them and brought them home in your clothes.
Dateline or Nightline or one of those programs recently did a program on how all the better hotels are being infested with bedbugs. Then they get in your clothes and suitcases or people on planes have and they transfer them to others; it is almost an epidemic.
