One of the most important things to do is to kill bed bugs mattress & box spring. You should inspect your mattress and box spring thoroughly. Look for the bedbugs and the light-brown, molted skins of the nymphs. Dark spots of dried bed bug excrement along mattress seams are usually present and a definite tell tale sign of a bed bug infestation.

Inspect your mattress for any rips or tears — they easily hide in those areas. You won’t find much on the top mattress; if the bed bugs have nested on the mattress, it is usually the box spring which bed bugs prefer to call home.

Turn the box spring over. Then remove the gauze fabric to gain access for inspection and possible treatment. The frame of the box spring is a common hiding place and presents the most likely place you will find them.

While you have the bed taken apart, it is important that you give it a good vacuum before you treat and put it back together. The bed bug eggs are usually well hidden and even a strong vacuum is not likely to dislodge all of them from their grip. Afterwards, dispose of the vacuum contents in a sealed trash bag immediately. This method may help you, but is not likely to get rid of these disgusting bedbugs completely. It is not likely they will disappear from your home on their own accord. Some sort of bed bug treatment or bed bug spray will need to be implemented.

Encase your mattress and box spring, to trap any bed bugs remaining in your mattress and to prevent bed bugs from re-infecting your mattress and box spring.   A zippered mattress protector that is bed bug proof is essential for this.
