Anybody here have any experience with bedbugs?

6. I get an occasional one, probably from city buses

Anyway, I spray my bed and surrounding area with 2 products which kill anything I bring home.
Also the professional exterminators in my apartment complex use the same two sprays.

Bedlam Plus Spray Aerosol

JT Eaton 'Kills Bed Bug Plus' Spray Aerosol

Both sprays have a 'residual' effect, so they keep killing for a couple weeks. If you didn't hit the bug with the spray, it'll die from crawling on the sprayed area.
Spray the baseboards well.

Also, of course, I bag and launder any clothing, sheets, etc that may be a hiding place.
A hot drier afterwards is the real trick.
I've not had to throw out any furniture, etc.

This has worked for me the past three years.
However I've not had a massive infestation. Just a few bites now and then over those 3 years.

One spray is better for hard surfaces = dressers, bed frames, headboards.
One for soft things = mattresses, carpets, sofas, etc.

Anyway, this has been my experience.
