There are many nasty chemical treatments you can use, however heat is the only chemical free and assured way to kill bed bugs. I mean LOTS of heat. Isolate the mattress (as the little nasties will contaminate everything from curtains to carpets to clothes) and anything else that has come in contact with it. Put any bedsheets in a plastic sealed bag and throw them in the bin or wash in boiling water. Tape up windows and any cracks or crevaces in the room and steam the buggers! Often if the infestation is severe, the best treatment is to dispose of the mattress and steam treat the room itself. Vacuums will transport eggs/larvae so dont use it or you are just spreading the problem.
You can't. Whatever sort of mattress you have, if bedbugs decide to crawl into your bed you can't stop them doing so.
To stop your mattress from squeaking, try tightening the screws and bolts on your bed frame, placing a piece of plywood between the mattress and the frame, or using a mattress pad or topper for extra cushioning and support.
Not entirely because the bedbugs can infest the bedclothes and can even be found in the joints of the bed frame. Using a vinyl cover can prevent them from infesting the mattress if it is well sealed. It doesn't necessarily need to be air-tight because it will need to breathe but the vent holes need to be screened to prevent the insects from entering.
You could use a towel or you could use a waterproof mattress protector. The waterproof mattress protector should stop the blood from staining the mattress and is available on ebay for around £10

The male inseminates the female BedBug which then lays eggs. The female can lay between 1 to 12 eggs per day and up to 200 in a lifetime. The Bedbug eggs are white and about 1 mm long, and almost impossible to see on most surfaces. The favorite place of the female Bedbug to lay her eggs is in the folds of your mattress, right where you sleep. The eggs have a sticky coating and clusters of 10-50 Bedbug eggs can be found in cracks and crevices. Bedbug eggs are also deposited in woodwork, furniture, carpet and other fabrics. Bedbug eggs hatch in 6 to 17 days, and the young Nymphs are ready to feast
if you put a mattress cover on your bed, they can't chew through that so you will stop getting bit. but if you are spraying them with pesticides they will just adapt to them so it wont do any good!

Total Mattress CareA new mattress can be expensive, so it pays to take care of your mattress and clean it from time to time. Here are a few tips to help you keep your mattress looking clean and smelling fresh.Regular Mattress MaintenanceFlipping a mattress regularly is one of the easiest ways to keep your bed clean, but many people only flip when there's a stain. You should flip your mattress every three months or so, as this will allow the mattress to breathe and stop a musty smell from taking hold. You should also wash your bed sheets at least once every two weeks.You can use your vacuum cleaner to clean your mattress every few months. Your vacuum will suck up dust, dirt and flakes of dead skin that build up over time. If you have allergies, you may want to vacuum your mattress more regularly for a more comfortable night's sleep, especially during allergy season when allergens tend to build up.Wet Cleaning A MattressStains are tough to handle on a mattress, as you can't exactly throw the whole thing in your washing machine and you can't wait days for a full mattress to dry. Spot treat stains with a gentle cleaner. Use a circular scrubbing motion and never soak your mattress in any liquid. For permanent stain protection, invest in a mattress protector. You'll spend less time maintaining your mattress and you won't have to worry about stains. With some regular maintenance, your mattress can last for years.
Probably but not necessarily. It is conceivably possible that there is just that one bedbug which could be the result of just one egg having hatched near where you sleep or else you may have unwittingly given a ride to just that one bedbug into your home say in your clothes or shoes, without realising it and it may then have crawled out when you were asleep and found somewhere in or near your bed to hide in and feed without being spotted. But if you see one bedbug it is far more likely there are more. This is because each female adult bedbug lays a dozen or more eggs nightly. So when you see that one bedbug she or her mate has very likely been around your home for some time and laid many eggs, and those eggs she laid will have hatched within about a fortnight of the egg being laid to bring more new bedbugs into your home which after five moults may have become an adult and so more and more eggs will very likely have been laid. But to be really sure if you see a bedbug look around in or near your bed and on yourself to see if there are other signs. The likelihood is you will have been their food and most people get re4d bite marks usually over their limbs, but not everybody gets these. Other signs are red blood marks on your bed linen or near your bed, little black deposits on your sheets that look like mascara and tiny deposited insect skins in or near your bed. The other good way to find out is look at your mattress during the day and use a brush or blade to run along folds and crevices in your mattress. if you disturb one it will race to find somewhere dark, and that will tell you, yes there are more and you have a problem in your bed.
Probably needs an overhaul.
