how can i get rid of them? can i get rid of them without calling pest control? can bed bugs hide in mattresses as well?
First you may want to have them identified to be certin your dealing with bed bugs. Usually the warning signs are bites, itching and a bit of pain, next... Bed bugs can be found not just on the bedding but have been found on headboards, decorative pillows and even popcorn celling texture. Inspect your mattress for bed bugs by pulling back the sheets, blanket and comforter, looking carefully at the seams and tufts for bed bugs or bed bug evidences (black fecal spots). Bed bugs are hard to get rid of, personally if you have an infestation get a hold of your local pest company that treats for bed bugs.

Blood sucking insect vampires, the bedbug usually calls your mattress its home. They are also in sofas, chairs, and less often in carpets. It is very hard to eradicate a bad infestation of bedbugs and you are well advised to call an exterminator. You don't want to be spraying poison on your mattress and then putting your body down there in all those toxins. Good luck! And BTW bedbugs don't live in wood. Termites live in wood and don't bite people. They swarm up and look like flying ants.
