My wife and I had a bedbug problem in our old flat, too. We moved out, and threw away our old bed and mattress when we did. That worked better than any other treatment we tried. (And yes, we notified the landlord of the problem... turns out it was the guy before us that introduced them somehow.) We still had one or two stray bedbugs that managed to survive on luggage or something like that and made it onto our new bed. But we wrapped it in cling-film (aka Saran-wrap) for a few months and we've been completely clear ever since we took it off. It's really not very pleasant...
