For bed bugs, do you think pesticides or heat treatment is the better option?

I live in Virginia and our local exterminators offer either/or. None offer both. So I wanted to ask a neutral 3rd party what they believed would be a better option for treatment. I disposed of the mattress that was infested and have had no bites in 4 days, but I'm afraid they're hiding. So I want to treat our home anyway. We have a single wide trailer.

I am not a believer in heat treatments. Pesticide applications are always used AFTER heat treatments have been made to control what the heat treatment did not kill. Heat treatments are 90% effective. Pesticide treatments are 100% given repeat applications over a period of time. This is usually 3 treatments over a 45 day period.
