if you have bed bugs in your bed, should you throw away everything- mattress and boxspring and other furniture?

no i wouldn't do that because you can acuatly spread the bugs around on your furniture chairs and rugs or anything that is fabric including yor clothes. since you already moves yor mattress i would talk to a exterminator about what to because they are a pro at killing bugs. what they will do is stem clean everything in your other things if needed

Aww :/

That sucks.

All you really have to do is give everything a really really thorough clean (vacuum, disinfect..I think that's all I did but I guess you could steam clean too)

Well..I'd say get the mattress back but I dunno if you can/want to do it now.

er, buy a new mattress and consider this a helpful experience?

all you need to do is vacuum the mattress and boxspring, my advice buy a new mattress and steam clean the boxspring, if you vacuum your mattresses once a month you'll prevent bed bugs

think you made the right move - bed bugs will live in the mattress material and you will not be able to get to them - you might want to play it safe and get a plastic mattress cover for for box spring

burn down the building then you get rid of the problem
