My house previously had bed bugs infestation, and my mum bought sticky masking tapes and tape it such a way that the sticky part face outwards. She will tape around all exits of contaminated furnitures, like covering the full door, windows and/or bed. Make sure to tape the walls as well covering the whole exit area.
Sleep outside the contaminated area. In the morning you wake up you will find them all sticking on the tapes (struggling) and just replace the tapes for 2-3 weeks and they are all gone now. (the bed bug issue happened more than 7 years ago).
Also for soft materials like bed my mum sealed the bed with plastic cover so the eggs will die out after 2-3 years.
Didn’t spend any money on any pest exterminators.
I personally tried to put salt on one of the bed bug that is stuck on the tape and it “dissolved” in the salt. Sadly you cant get the salt on the walls. Hope my family experience will help someone out there
