I had them in a place I lived in Edmonton a few years ago. Heat treatment is the preferred method these days and you have to pack up and do some prep work before the company will come in. You'll probably be displaced for at least a day.
If you wanted to try to deal with it yourself, it's quite a bit easier if you have mostly hard surfaces everywhere. If you have carpet, you pretty much need professional help. Regarding the bed itself though, you need to thoroughly vacuum everything (including inside the box spring if you have one). You can also spray the whole lot with isopropyl alcohol with apparently kills their eggs. I'd recommend just going with the professional treatment from the get go however.
