I know vaccumming is superb in the fight against many pests...I have a bagless-I believe it's a Hoover. Same concept? Empty into a bag and toss outside? Should I clean the hoses somehow? I am not a big cleaner...never have been. I will have to take time off work to seriously clean my downstairs...hard to do with kids at home. And I will be spraying furniture and carpets with Bedlam also.

You can clean out the canister with hot, hot water after each use. The truth about vacuuming is; Unless you are specifically hunting bed bugs and using a crevice tool (and possibly a brush), you will most likely not be vacuuming bugs up during normal cleaning.
I wouldn't worry much about the hoses as long as the machine has good suction and you are doing chemical treatment throughout the place. Just let the vacuum run for 2 minutes after you finish a specific area and then store the vacuum the furthest place from your sleeping and resting areas. Preferable out in an open room.
