I throw my pillows in the dryer every time I bleech my sheets. As I understand it, bed bugs (and other critters) don't do well above maybe 130 degrees F for several minutes. It won't stop the matress bugs, but it's a start. Otherwise, check and see if your matress, pillows, sofas, etc. are treated with DDT (a very old treatement from the 50s-60s that makes quick work of bedbugs). If not, don't let the house get messy too often. SDouble check clothes and luggage after traveling. Check used furntire. Vaccume.

And a big fat ewwww.
