Bed bugs and hope my question is clear thanks?
Question:sorry about the former question, I think we found more bedbugs in our cottage. I think it is in our matresses which are old, but my question is that we had the cottage fumigated two years ago, and wondering if they are still with us. we live in north west canada and seem s the cold winters do not kill the bugs. The matresses are gone and rugs also.
hope this can help with my problem

Getting Rid of Bed Bugs-Once an infestation has occurred, patience and persistence is the key to ridding the area of bed bugs. It isn’t enough to clean the mattresses and launder the sheets. Furniture should be overturned and cleaned. Carpeting, wood molding, door jambs, picture frames, and closets should be inspected as well. Bed bugs can hide behind loose wallpaper, in the crevices between carpets and walls, behind outlet covers, and inside light fixtures, smoke detectors, and even clocks. Removable, washable items can be laundered in very hot water. For those areas or items which can not be laundered, smaller items can be wrapped in plastic and set in a hot place or in direct sunlight. The key is to raise the temperature to at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit for several hours to kill the eggs and the bugs. Vacuuming and steam cleaning may also be done, but any bags or canisters should be thrown away or emptied outside of the area immediately to prevent another infestation. The best method of removing bed bugs, however, is through a professionally handled treatment.
..Good Luck! =)
Don’t Try These Methods-Finally, there are several methods that are totally useless and shouldn’t even be considered. Bug bombs and aerosol pesticides will not rid an area of bed bugs. While extreme hot and cold temperatures may affect the infestation, below freezing temperatures will only work if those temperatures remain below freezing for over two weeks.
I've seen bed bug sprays sold at hardware stores. You could also try googling it.
I think by now I would get a professional to come in and get rid of the bed bugs. I heard on the tv the other day that bed bugs are on the come back more of common problem and they say to let the professionals get rid of them.
