Your Pest Control Operator might tell you to vacuum your mattress, couches and armchairs to remove bed bugs.
However, make sure to discard the vacuum bag when you are finished vacuuming, because bed bugs can survive inside a vacuum. Empty the vacuum bag into a trash can, tie it shut and discard it outside in a trash container or dumpster. Then check the brushes of the vacuum cleaner and possibly wash them. Then tell the pest control company where the vacuum has been stored so they can treat it as well.

Great advice. People often forget this step and leave themselves open for re-infestation. We run into this with bedbugs and fleas after they have been vacuumed. Always seal the bag!
