Finally got the picture, put some dish soap, and mix in some vegetable oil, and it sure will you wouldn’t even have to have the steam cleaner. Bedbugs are hard, first they lay eggs in the mattress your going to have to get some air tight en casements for the mattress and box springs, and pillows, when the co2 level exceeds .002 all living BedBugs will die, and their eggs soon there after, you need to wash and dry all bedding materials, washing will get the bugs, drying will get the eggs. Then you need to go to a garden store, and get some Diatomaceous Earth and a hand squirt bottle, mix dish soap, vegetable oil and diatomaceous earth in this bottle shake the mixture, and spray the areas listed in the source on bedbugs that need attention. The first two ingredientss are contact insecticides and diatomaceous earth is residual like the energizer bunny it keeps on killing, Any time you clean spray this again. I wouldn’t listen to any exterminator these things are now resistant to ddt and almost any poison. Diatomaceous earth is the best for these it’s safe around humans which pesticides aren’t and it doesn’t build up resistancee, it’s fed to livestock for their well being, and is used in Humans also.
