Bed Bugs - How to get rid of bed bugs

My focus on the cleaning process is not the removal of spots or
spills to enhance appearance; my focus is to significantly improve the
Indoor Air Quality of structures by cleaning the furnishings. The
added benefit of approaching cleaning/restoration in this manner is
that appearance turns out to be the best it can be, while also
enhancing the durability of the furnishings. I concentrate on the
maximum extraction of soils of all types, while attempting to exhaust
as much as possible out of the structure.
bed bugs are insects which measure approximately 125 microns large.
A micron is one millionth of a meter, or 1/25,000 of an inch. A sharp
pencil point is approximately 50 microns. Particles are visible to the
human eye at 10 microns. There can be 500 bed bugs in a teaspoon of dust, 2 million bed bugss in a
double bed mattress. A six year old pillow can have 10% of its weight
from bed bugss, dead bed bugss and their droppings. It is estimated that the
average mattress contains 10,000 bed bugss. The bed bugs will not bite, or hurt humans. They cause no direct harm, in
the sense of directly assaulting humans, and are valuable in the sense
that they are scavengers, cleaning up after human inhabitation.
A bed bug feeds on the skin cells shed by us daily. Several years ago,
while watching a television special on a photographer who took
specialized pictures and films involving moving objects and
microscopic activities, part of the segment showed a vacuum going over
a carpet, and the woman running the vacuum, later preparing for bed.
As she sat on the edge of her bed, and started to remove her
stockings, the camera was focused in on her skin. As the stocking was
removed, the picture was literally filled with billions of spinning,
cascading dried skin cells, sloughed off her leg.
