Empty one room of the house and put the sofa in there. Open it all up exposing as much surface to the air as possible.
Then put a bunch of heaters with a thermostat and ramp up the temperature to 50-60 celsius in the room and maintain it for 24 hours.
100% of the bugs and their eggs will be fucking dead by the end.
Idk what fabric that sofa has, but normally it should be able to withstand 50-60 celsius.

Can't OP just salt it with diacotimus earth or whatever it's actually called?

Wrap in plastic. Seal seams well with tape. Get CO2 tank and fill plastic bag. Let sit long enough to kill occupants.

But they will be back if they are into carpeting or other nearby items.

if theyre in the sofa, theyre very likely in other furniture as well as in your walls. get your whole house treated. are you in a townhouse/apartment or a building you share with others? if so, you need to notify them.

Congrats on the new roommates! Hope you've learned a valuable lesson from taking furniture from the trash. You now have to get your whole residence treated by an exterminator, sleep with diaceametous earth around your bed and start storing all belongings in plastic bags and freezing them overnight, including clothes and books.

i used a french thing called Enviroscab, claims to kill them on touch, i just ordered some of this diacemous earth, i also cleaned all my clothes and bedsheets and pillows at 70°, i think my bed is safe because i've been sleeping on the sofa a lot, i sleep on the bed and nothing happens now, if they come out they should touch the enviroscab thing, and soon i'll get the diacemetous earth and should hopefully kill them within a few weeks, i live in a small apt so it's just the living room and the bedroom that need to be safe, i'm hopeful for now, i'll be able to spray this diacemtous earth pretty much around the entire house and from what i read in theory should fuck them up pretty well, thanks anons

my plan is simple :

always shower hot water + soap before sleeping on bed
never sleep on sofa for now i skipped like 2 days and should be like 2 days before i get the diacetmeous earth
once i get diacemetous earth, spray that shit all over the house, then sleep on the sofa, whenever the bugs come out they die on the diacetemous earth
sleep on the sofa exclusively for like a couple weeks because theres probably eggs, and that should hopefully be it, i'll spray the earth on the bed anyways just in case, i feel like this problem will last a month at worst, maybe even two i'll keep sleeping on the sofa exclusively for the summer and see

you should pack a couple changes of clothes from closet and a variety of drawers and go stay at a friends house but make sure to not overstay your welcome and stay at a few different friends houses

i live in a small apt so it's just the living room and the bedroom that need to be safe,

you need to inform the other tenants in the building, you dum fuck. post pics of bed bug stains

either raise the temperature in the room to about 120 degrees f, or spray it with temprid, or write bedbugs on it and dump it, then spray everything with temprid.

wash all your clothes and beddings with hot water and tumble dry them.

keep the lights on in any room in the house that had them and don't sleep in those rooms for a week or so.

lastly ignore everything I said and hire someone who has experience with getting rid of them.
