pry depends how heavy the infestation. saw the thread bumped, I have taken care of them, my infestation seemed to be almost entirely in the master bedroom. I bought a steamer online and steamed everything in that room super thoroughly. from the bed frame, many many times, to the carpet, closet, etc. checked every bedroom item super thoroughly before removing it from bedroom. then steamed away. I always taped the small crack under the door, taped it well when I was not in there working. passive traps have been clear for awhile, have not had a sign of or saw a bed bug in quite awhile. preeeettty sure they're gone. if you have them, consider this option. pros: no chemicals, u literally just slowly steam everything (dry vapor). I also saved a lot of money by not hiring, I did have to buy a 500 dollar steamer but that thing makes anything look brand new.
cons:time consuming
