Update - 2 Days Later
Well it's been 2 nights now and no bites. I must say that there are also no bed bugs stuck to the sticky tape. I pulled all the tape out of my floor board. Maybe the night light is too bright for them to come for me and I need to fully shut it off. I will do this. Maybe the bed bugs have been hiding in my box spring my whole time and they can't get out? Either way, I'll keep updating and hopefully I'll have some bugs stuck in my sticky tape and will have some pictures to show.

How To Kill Bed Bugs 101
Raise the temperature to 97o F. - 99o F. will kill most bed bugs in several days.
Put infested and suspected material in a black plastic trash bag and set it in the hot sun all day. Most
insects die when exposed to 115o F. for 30 minutes
Treat bed frames, springs and mattresses with applications of
talcum powder, or better yet, medicated body powder or Comet®; then as a last resort, insecticidal soap, silica
aerogel, or, better yet, food-grade diatomaceous earth.avoid breathing the dust.
BEST= throw out mattresses,
furnishings, debris and all other objects that serve as nesting sites.
Inspect upholstered furniture,
sofas, narrow spaces, baseboards, window and door trims, voids, loose wallpaper, behind calendars, skirting,
floor boards, pictures and mirrors and other likely hiding places, including ceilings.
*****common hiding places
are in smoke detectors, joints and cracks of furniture and walls, including bookcases, desks, dressers, chests,
night stands, headboards, bedsteads, bed slats and springs.
Bed bugs flat bodies allow them to hide virtually anywhere in dark, tight
cracks and mattress seams and under bottons and in holes and voids in beds and walls, bedside furniture, ticking
and/or seams of upholstered furniture, electrical outlets, dressers, wall boards, door and window frames,
behind pictures and baseboards, under loose wall paper, where beds are joined around slats, around mattress
tufts, in bed clothes, hollow bed frames, railings, headboards, under the tack boards of wall-to-wall carpeting,
and in rooms near host sleeping areas. Look in any place that offers darkness, isolation and/or protection, e.g.,
behind wallpaper, mop boards, drapery folds, unused appliances, mattresses, stoves, behind electrical switch
plates, in clothing, under carpeting and tack strips.
