Maybe try pennyroyal for your bedbug problem, Amish farmers have used it for aeons to keeps bugs out their barns. You might also sprinkle a little bit of dry grits between your mattresses and under the bed, wherever. The bugs and their larvae eat the grits and then they explode as it absorbs liquid in their internal parts. Great for keeping ants away too. Though a little boric acid mixed with sugar will kill a whole colony of ants in a jiffy too.
