Practical NYC Advice:
i had bedbugs for maybe two weeks-
maybe more as their life cycle is crazy.
the more research you do the scarier these bugs become.
needless to say- that week was horrible-
i suggest treating your problem asap as they can spread to other floors and apts quickly - landlords will not pay to have them exterminated but its good to let them know in case other apts have infected yours. in this case the building must be treated.

i threw out my bed (not recommended- as previously suggested, mattress covers work- also put double sided tape/vaseline around the legs of the bed or put the legs in small dishes of water- and pull the bed away from tables and wall - beg bugs crawl -stop them from crawling to you)

wash all clothes (hot water) dont put them away until the bed bugs are gone.

i also recommend steam clean your carpet -as high temperatures kill the bugs & their eggs.

no chemical kills them & their eggs but ddt.
ddt l is no banned for beign very dangerous...
exterminators usually have to go through 3 treamtents to get all the rounds of eggs.

.. my landlord had a refernce for me u if you need it post back- one treatment works- it cost me $125.
easy. done. no more bed bugs.
i got lucky.
