Bed Bugs GONE!
Bed bugs! This is officially the insect I hate the most! I was literally going crazy over the course of three months because I couldn't get rid of this nasty, NASTY little things!!!
When fighting bed bugs, you have to be VERY consistent, otherwise it just won't work. After multiple unssuccessful attempts, I got so desperate that I used a bunch of different products all at once and, miraculously, it worked! For this reason, I rated the product 5 stars but in reality it might have been the combination of products that actually did the work. We have been bed bug free for 2 months now.
For anyone who has had the same problem, I've summarize the products I used and all of the additional steps I took to kill the bastards!

Additional Info:
1. Check mattress every morning after you get out of bed. Do this in the morning, not at night or during the day. The bed bugs come out when you sleep and hide once there is no food around (meaning, when you are not in your bed).
2. Vacuum EVERYTHING - floors, wall creases, mattress, furniture, every room in the house, door entrance, etc.
3. Spray EVERYTHING - furniture, cabinets, counters, walls, heaters and A/C, boxes, electronics (very important), hangers, etc. Spray windows and doors!
4. Wash EVERYTHING in your closet - clothes, scarfs, shoes (you can spray them if you don't want to put them in a washer/dryer), curtains, rugs, bathroom rugs, doormats, bedding (obviously), etc. Everything has to be washed at high temperature and then dryed at high temperature. If you normally take out the clothes from the dryer after, for example, 30 minutes, take them out after 40 minutes so that you are sure that there has been enough heat to kill any bugs and eggs stuck on the clothing.
5. Brush out any furniture, especially the mattress - the eggs of the bed bugs get stuck on the furniture and you can't see them until they hatch. Brushing them off the furniture and vacuuming the floor afterwards makes sure that you get rid of the eggs.
6. After all of this, make sure to zip covers on your mattress and pillows and don't remove them for at least 6 months. This traps the bed bugs inside the covers and eventually they will die out from not having water and food.
7. Each time after you clean and vacuum the house, put new powder and spray once again.
Lastly, don't get desperate. I was so frustrated that I was almost about to give up and accept that I will have bed bug bites on me all the time, or at least till I move out of the apartment. But I'm telling you from experience, you CAN beat these things. Just be persistent and don't give up.
Good luck!
