“The first thing to do is to wash all bedding in very hot water. Stuffed animals or soft toys that cannot be washed should be sealed in plastic bags for a couple of weeks.
The second step in getting rid of bed bugs is to vacuum everything. Vacuum the mattress, any upholstered furniture, and the drapes. Use the crevice tool on your vacuum to do the bed frames, the baseboards, and any furniture near the bed. Of course, vacuum the carpeting as well.
These steps will not remove all bed bugs and eggs and larvae, although it will remove most of them.” from http://quickcare.org/misc/how-to-get-rid-of-bed-bugs.html
At this point you need some kind of pesticide. Please consider using an all-natural one. They can be found in your local health food store and sometimes a place like Tractor Supply will sell them. Some can even be made with food from your grocery store. I have used black walnut extract to rid my home of bed bugs and it worked wonders.

Commercial pesticides are comprised of extremely harmful chemicals produced in a laboratory. It is possible for them to harm your immediate health, future health or have an unknown impact on the environment and evolution.
When researching what to choose, always remember to consider where the information is coming from. What corporation had the information published? Who did the scientists who did the research work for? You can make the results of scientific research say anything you want – and all corporations have an agenda.
I hope this was helpful.
