its very very hard. do not use diatomaceous earth. its extremely fine and hard to get up. Just keep using insect killer vacuum powders for it if i remember, on your bed put all feet in bowls of water with soap. Use very thin sheets preferably white so you can easily see where they are. even with just 4 or 5 bugs that i could see, they were nightmarish for me to deal with because im allergic to insect bites and they would bite the sole of my feet leaving giant whelts.

It took me being half asleep but constantly alert and instantly reacting to being bitten. There were many days I never slept. I went to war with them and nearly lost. Good luck on your front

If you've seen any bedbugs, that means there are more you haven't seen. They can hide anywhere, including cracks in your floor and furniture, power outlets, seams of your clothes, etc. Don't try to handle it yourself, get an exterminator ASAP. Seriously, you will regret it if you don't. Having bedbugs messes with your sleep and makes you paranoid for a long time. Do not take any chances.

My wife and I got bit by bedbugs in a hotel once. Luggage lived in the garage (far from the bedrooms) for months. Laptops and other electronics went in the freezer for a few days. Clothes went through high heat wash regardless of if it was “safe” or not.

Fortunately we didn’t bring any into our house… but I was still paranoid for months after just one night or bedbug bites.
