I know that I have an infestation of bed bugs in my apartment. So much that I’ve read says you MUST use a professional exterminator to get rid of them. This is not even an option for me due to the high cost. I’m feeling pretty discouraged. If i get a mattress cover, use Diatomaceous [...]

I believe I might have a bed bug infestation. However,
1. I have not seen one bug. But my mattress does have the blood blotches that are often associated with these nuisance bugs.
2. My mattress is an antique mattress (1970s or before). My mom refuses to buy another. And won’t let me either.
3. How do I [...]

I have found all kinds of information on bed bugs, Most say hire a professional exterminator (can't afford) burn your bed (it's almost brand new and also can't afford a new one) It was suggested to use sevin dust throughout the house and on the mattress then put a mattress cover over it. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if my older bed has bed bugs or not, I wonder if I cover the bed with vinyl case would prevent them to come out?
If vinyl is not good, any recommendation?
