What to do if i currently have a futon that i sleep on, if they are bedbugs, will i have to get rid of it?

That's one way: While getting rid of an infested piece of furniture is one route to go, there are other ways to rid yourself of an infestation of bed bugs. Extreme heat will kill the little buggers. Most pest control companies have the necessary equipment to deal with these infestations. Be forthright and ask them what they use in removing bed bugs - if it's anything other than a heat based treatment, be wary.

The futon mattress : Or the futon frame? Mattress is harder to treat than the frame. Declutter entire bedroom & any other effected rooms. Check this site for instructions: http://treatmentforbedbugs.Com/ 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 >>.
