I don't know what happened in your life, I wasn't there, but I do know that trying to find and kill bedbugs is the best way to let an infestation spread. They are nearly impossible to find, they reproduce at a very fast rate, and they can lay dormant inside of fabric or mattresses for very long periods of time.

You may not have meant this as advice, but I just want to make sure that nobody reading this takes this as advice.

Also totally insufficient most times. They nest in mattresses.
