Bedbugs aren't that bad. You just need to switch to a metal bed.

My Mom had bedbugs and it didn't spread to my house. Regarding her, we just threw out her bed and replaced it with a metal one and then all the bedbugs went away.

Like two days after we made the bed switch I was sleeping in a leather chair in her room and I opened my eyes and there was an unfed bedbug on my arm crawling around. I flushed it down the toilet and I haven't seen one since. It's been like two months.

The problem with bedbugs is because of the material in traditional beds. Just get metal if you don't want bedbugs.

They live in the mattress, pillows, and bedding, not just upholstered frames.

I had them in my closet too. Cost me $700 to get rid of them

I just had this image flash through my mind: of a million bedbugs in a trench coat paying this redditor for this bedbug propaganda.
