i dont know alot about bedbugs. Can they spread easily?

Is there anything natural you could spray around yr apartment, on the mattresses to keep them at bay?

I found a link: (something natural down the bottom)

Visualise a pest free apartment, and let it go... (what resists persists),

I have a thing about cockroaches, so i get where you are coming from, but over the years i have had to let it go and try to go with the flow... i am still not 100% with it by any means.
