    Try to check what places bedbugs are hiding. Sometimes it is under the door frame sometimes cracks in the walls and sometimes furniture. Make sure pest control takes care of that. Usually bedbugs are most active after midnight. one or two days you can stay awake and observe and then get pest control done specifically at those sites. Repeated pest control treatments are necessary mostly at an interval of 2-3 months for it to completely go away. Meanwhile I have heard camphor is effective against it. so if no small kids around the house you can try keeping camphor tablets in mattresses etc. also have heard that krazy lines (the ones used for cockroaches work against bedbugs too..though I do not vouch for it..no harm in trying it on the wall cracks..again be sure not to touch it later on since it is toxic..is okay if no small kids around but will not try it in a house with kids)

    Bedbugs are quite persistent plus one does not get to know the exact location where they are hiding in the day...once you identify that the next pest control make sure that that area is covered. The pest control guys for bedbugs usually have to make two-three rounds before they are completely eliminated and it is better to do pest control every month/15 days or so till the bedbugs are gone, tell them specifically for bedbugs and you want them gone and he will have to followup with another pest control included in the same cost if the bedbugs does not go (that usually makes the pest control guys do a thorough job in every nook and corner and not just for namesake apply some medicine and go). Meanwhile all you can do is keep things clean and be on the lookout for their hiding places. if it is just the table fan you can replace it with another so that the bugs do not spread.

    Find out the source... Maybe the neighbour( we have adjacent doors), maybe schoolbus, taxi, a visitor. If you have carpeted the floor, take it off. We always remove clothes in the bathroom, really check for bugs whenever anyone has used a public transport.
    wait till june and when you go on vacation, ask your H to do a monthly pest control visit. Frequent pest treatments are not good with kids around.
