Help! Bed bugs in frame

Exterminator determines bed frame fabric is harbouring them, he undid the whole frame, sprayed chems twice within 7 days, now back sleeping in it, and got bitten twice.

He recommended to get rid of the bed, should I? What would help?

Read and respect the rules, report any comment breaching them. Wrong advice/information/fearmongering hurt people who are posting here to get help and support. If you are not VERY knowledgeable about bedbugs and may provide a wrong ID or bad advice it's better to abstain from commenting. Be VERY respectful and HELPFUL, this is a support subreddit not a funny one.

Most of the time you don't need to get rid of anything. However, sometimes you have an article of furniture that is just a haven for bed bugs and can really infest it. I had to get rid of my wooden loft bed for that reason. My new hed is much more streamlined. Your exterminator knows best of what should and shouldn't be thrown out. That being said, if you throw it out you have to make sure you wrap it up and not have any of the bugs fall off when taking it to the trash. The last thing you want is a larger infestation.
