Are you talking of bedbugs or dust mites?
There is a difference.
If it’s really bed-bugs http://www.bed-bugs.co.uk/
then they will be difficult to get rid of and require special attention.
If it’s dust-mites then a good vacuuming of the mattress and room and change of bedding should suffice.
No need for the exterminator: just spray the mattress and sheets with personal insect repellent! It works. I’ve had success with this several times.
(Those bites are the worst!!)
I would spray with insect spray and leave the mattress out to breath. I wouldn’t spray with just any spray though, you’d have to find the right one cuz you don’t want to have breathing problems from that poison being that close to your face all night long. Then I would get a mattress cover, one that will keep out dust mites. If it’s good enough to keep those tiny guys out it should work on the bed bugs.
