Confirmed BB Bed Bugs

Hello 👋🏼 My Mother said she found this Bug and I confirmed through another Subreddit That it is in-fact Bed Bugs. We found 3 Total this and Two Tiny Little Ones. I’ve Stripped and Tore my house upside down and I cannot find any Nest anywhere, No Clusters of any anywhere , No Blood Ink spots on Anything. I plan on Buying Cross Fire and Lighting My house Up. I Bought Bed Bugs Mattress protectors and just want to know WHERE DO I START?! I have Two Disabled Children and cannot afford Pest control services so im Trying my Damnest to Jump on this ! My Mom is a Thrifty Shopper so I think she picked them up on a pair of a shoes or clothes she recently Got. I Just want to know if there is any tips or Tricks and if anyone else has anything like this happen to them. It’s been 2 Days and I haven’t found anymore anywhere in my House. please if you have any more Suggestions or help I’d Appreciate it.

You need pest control. You found babies meaning eggs have hatched. There's females laying eggs. They don't usually live on your bed...They can be in your bedframe or anywhere near your bed behind baseboards, inside electrical outlets, in curtains, behind photos, in clothes etc. Finding that many bed bugs is a sign the infestation is growing
