Very diffifult: Bed bugs are resistant to many insecticides, and they can switch genes to suddenly 'develop' resistance to a new ones.. Discard stuffed furniture and clean throuougly in the nooks/crannies of what is left, especially near the infected furniture. Bugs can hide behind basebords etc. Avoidance works best. After travel put all your clothes into the dryer for 20 min and leave the suitcase outside.

Very hard: Declutter entire room. Place all junk in tightly sealed plastic & dispose of it. Wash clothing, linens, towels in hot water. Dry on highest heat - then repeat. Place clean items in a sealed bag to prevent re-infestation.Steam clean what you can't place in drier. Vacuum everything using a disposable bag. Seal bag & dispose of bag. Next, use a steam cleaner everywhere. Use a non-toxic.
