Two summers ago when the bedbug outbreak was pretty rampant, a friend's apartment got infested. They were coming in from the guy next door's unit. If your unit has them you will know it. You will find the outer shells (for lack of a better word) in your bed linens when you change the sheets. Bedbugs do not like the heat, my friend took all of her clothes and bed linens and put them in plastic bags. Then she was told to put them in the trunk of her car in the heat. The high temperatures kill them. If you want to run a quick test put the clothes in a bag in your trunk. After 24-48 hours in the trunk take the clothes out of the bags and if you don't find any dead bugs, then your items/unit are not infested. Sounds like the timing couldn't be any worse for you, good luck.
