Getting rid of bed bugs is not an easy process, and most cases of bed bug infestation will require treatment by a pest control expert. A variety of low-odor sprays, dusts, and aerosol insecticides can be used to eradicate bed bugs. These must be applied to all areas where the bugs are observed as well as spaces where they may crawl or hide. The pest control company can help you determine if the mattress can be disinfected or must be discarded. Since beds cannot readily be treated with insecticides, it’s often necessary to discard infested mattresses and beds.
Wishing you the best of luck !
To add to Robins answer, I would recommend a combination of a good PCO with a chemical free answer like Kleen-Free or another enzyme based product that will work to dissolve the exoskeleton of the bedbug. Some bedbugs are showing a resistance to chemcials so combining the chemical treatment of the PCO with the non-chemical spray that you can buy at http://www.kleen-free.com may be what is needed to comploetely eradicate the infestation. Additionally KF is safe to spray on a mattress as it is not chemical based so that may help to salvage the mattress.
Remember that the spray type products are typically contact killers in taht they only kill what they are sprayed on so they are not the complete answer as bedbugs hide very well.
Good luck.
