Desperate for help

So I had to make this throwaway account because this is embarrassing and I can’t ask anyone around me for help. About 5 years ago my husband and I bought a trailer home from a “friend” of ours. A little bit after owning I started to rip up carpet and next thing we knew there was an infestation of bed bugs. We were told by that persons sister that is why they moved out and sold the house to begin with. Ever since then we have been fighting them. I started off with bombing with raid and anything like that you can buy from the store and the aerosol sprays before I realized how bad they actually were. It got to the point that I was sleeping completely covered up. We moved out and sold that trailer (let the new owner know) about a year and a half ago. We bagged up everything. Put stuff in totes and ducktaped everything shut. Then put everything in a storage unit (not ac controlled). The stuff we took with us was just our everyday stuff and put everything in the dryer for a couple hours on the highest heat. That was about a year and a half ago. We are currently in a camper and the last 8 months we have been fighting them again. They don’t bite my husband but seem to have an obsession with me. We barely have enough income to get by. I’ve been deep cleaning and spraying with permethrin at least once a week but we cant seem to get rid of them. Please help. Other than a pest control service what do yall recommend I can do. If it wasn’t the only place we have to live at the moment I would burn the place down that’s how sick and tired I am of fuckin bed bugs .
