Q. Help, I've been attacked by Bedbugs.
Salaam,
I have used bedbug liquid spray and powder form but they do not work. I still got bitten by bedbugs, sucking out my blood and making me feel itchy, feeling like I've been caught by fire. Every night I would wake up at around 2am and I will find 4 to 5 bedbugs, some small and some are big and when I pinch them , blood pouring out and they are stinks.
Anyone knows how to remove bedbugs once and for all? I am open to anything conventional or unconventional solution. Thanks.

Oh you poor thing!
i've been reading up about bedbugs.
Basically they cannot survive in extreme heat.This have been prooven to work. So steam it up.
Bear everything in that room. Wash everything in that room in hot water like drapes, rugs, bedding, cussion. matress, your clothes, shoes, bags, furnitures. If you can't wash it, steam it, if you can;t steam it, put it in a dryer (in hot heat).
Bedbugs hide and lays their eggs in small cracks and crevices. So it's a good idea to pay attention to furniture. flooring and walls.
It will be a good idea to get one of those hand held portable steam cleaner, where u can use it on furnitures, drapes, clothings floors etc.
Another advice from whatever i read is to get professional extimanator.

i study entomology... apart from zoology, i have some tips on household pests. so maybe this helps.
bedbugs nests are generally in the bed. since humans sleep there, high chance of its survival and will nests themselves there or somewhere near your bed, corner or cracks on your walls (if your walls are painted light colours, the nests will look black in colour).
other places like bags, clothes any corners of the pieces may contain one or two of them hiding awaiting to suck your blood, they will still go back to their nest eventually.
my advise is
- put your bed or any mattresses in the sun for a few hours
- flip them if you need to as some part of the bed do not reach the sun
- find the nest
- if nest is on your entire bed, throw your entire bed, don't get a new bed straight, wait for a week to see if there is anymore bedbugs. there should be some stranded ones. at the meantime you might want to get small mattresses.
once you feel comfortable without getting any bites, you can get a new bed.
don't let it nests out to millions!

Salaam,
Thank you for the great advice. I want to accept the answer but when I click the green Accept button I don't see the confirmation button to indicate that I confirm want to accept the answer. Maybe its because of the dimension of my window.
