Well, there are green options available that will help you out. In some cases you may need pesticides to do the trick, but trying the green options first is the best idea, especially if you don’t have too many of the bed bugs. Here are a few green methods to try:
-Clean Everything: Imply doing a good clean can be helpful if you want to get rid of the bedbugs. Clean the bedding by washing it well. Vacuum the area that is infested too, whether it is a mattress, couch, or carpets.
-Eliminate the Clutter: If you have clutter in your home, get rid of it. The more clutter available, the more areas that are available for these critters to hide in. Get rid of the clutter to help get rid of the bed bugs.
-Try Smothering Them: Using a mattress bag on your mattress or some bags for your pillows can help you to actually smother away the bed bugs. Just make sure that you check for holes on a regular basis.
-Steam Cleaning: You can kill bed bugs with high temperatures. By steam cleaning your carpets, curtains, furniture, and more, you can kill off these bugs as well as the eggs they lay.
You don’t have to resort to chemicals to get rid of bed bugs. With these green options, you should be able to finally get rid of the bed bugs that have taken up residence in your home.

The best way is to hire a pest control professional.
Getting rid of bed bugs isn't as simple as just vacuuming, or putting down dust, or using a steam cleaner, or spraying an insecticide or using a mattress encasement. To do the job properly you'll probably need to use *all* of those methods and maybe more. And you'll need to do them in the right order and likely repeat the process a few times. That is why bed bugs are so difficult to eradicate.
You may be able to kill a few bed bugs that you find but consider that bed bugs often hide out of site. They can be inside the boxspring, inside parts of the bed frame, hiding in cracks in wallpaper, inside books, bags, clothing around the bed, under edges of the carpet, inside wall voids...
Also, bed bug eggs are extremely hard to see (they are tiny) and bed bugs often lay them in unexpected, well concealed places. If you kill only the bed bugs you see, those eggs will still hatch and bed bugs will come after you again.
