Once you have positively identified a bed bug infestation (see article), quickly get professional help.
Don't apply pesticides yourself. According to the Environmental Health and Safety school at Harvard, Gentrol and Phantom are registered bed bug pesticides that professional pest control experts can use. Residual insecticides last for a month or so, which is good, because the chorion (egg shells) of the bugs protect them. It's a good idea to get another inspection three weeks later.
Do not allow spraying of pesticides on your mattress or anywhere that you would directly contact.
