I also had a real bad case. This works great! From the Orkin guy: you need to make sure you get ALL the crevices in and around the bed (including nightstand), baseboards and especially on both sides of the cording on the mattress. Once I did that, no more bed bugs! If you see them again within two weeks, you didn't find all the hiding places. Spray again.

It Is good. Just makes sure before using it that you bag up all of your clothes. Make sure you sprayed everywhere And it is done at least once a week For amonths

I bought this for a case of fleas. My dog, who is an indoor dog caught them. I used this to prevent infestation I sprayed it and every corner.... along all the baseboards etc and it seemed to work well....I never had a problem..... for bed bugs I'm not sure honestly.... but it's been my experience that fleas are extremely hard to get rid of what's your house is infested same as bed bugs.... this product did exactly what it said it was going to do..... so I have confidence it would work well for bed bugs....I wish you the best of luck :)

Never have had bedbugs, Vanessa, but don't want them either! We just got a new bed & wanted protection - this was highly recommended to us. It does take about 3 people to get it on, but well worth it. We travel a lot, so I always worry about what we might bring home. Feel much safer now that I have this. Hope this helps.

Nope! I wouldn't count on it. Not if the place is furnished or cluttered in any way will it rid you of Bed Bugs. You need a professional exterminator. For BBs this product is more useful to treat books, electronics and other odds and ends (not cloth) in a sealed plastic box. Couches, beds, base boards and electrical sockets need to be treated by a pro, and all your clothing and bedding will need to be washed, dryed and sealed in plastic. I can't speak for the roach issue but your apartment is NOT airtight enough for this to work. Trust me. Diatamacious Earth has proven to be pretty effective and don't forget your new best friend...the vaccum. Good luck. Nope! I wouldn't count on it.

This works only for spot treatment! These bugs can hide everywhere. Fought them for 2 years in an older wooden apartment building. Matresses are unsalvageable if infected, they will even bore into the wooden bed frames. Used the spray, bought a steamer, powder. Nothing worked 100%. Good luck. Finally rid of them, but I had to move, to finally get rid of them. They love books, videotapes, anything electronic, even power cords. They will infest draperies, and pets are vulnerable to being attacked.Best of luck,Scott..... Survivor

You can't control and eliminate them with just this. You need an exterminator. And after the 2nd time they were here, I have had none.I used this product all around my bed and bed frame, every night. And I even sprayed it in my bed a couple of hours before I went to bed. It has a great minty smell. I also purchased the bed bug powder and put Glad containers under every leg and powder in it. And a mattress bed bug or allergen encasement. Good luck

It has worked for me. I had a old futon that was infested with bed bugs. I replaced the futon with an air mattress and used the bed bug spray as directed and I haven't seen one in months. I eventually replaced the air mattress with a foam mattress and still haven't see any bed bugs.

I don't understand the question but I do know that it worked perfectly! My father had bed bugs and so did my husband's uncle. We did not dilute thestrength and we used it for two good size bedrooms. We used a lot more at my husband's uncle's house due to the heavy infestation.

It does not prevent bedbugs, but if you do get bed bugs they cannot get into the mattress. You can wash the cover to get rid of any dead ones after they spray. It saves you from buying a new mattress. I would suggest getting a box spring cover and pillow covers. I had bed bugs at one of my rental properties and had to through ever thing out. So if I get them again I can wash all the coverings and save the new stuff I bought.

the GE powder smothers them, you must continue to use it as directed. It takes weeks to get rid if them. I also bought the mattress and box spring zippered covers and used bed bug cup traps, to put the legs of the bed in the cups filled with the GE powder. the bug sprays only make them run to other areas of the house. I also used the 91% alcocol that I bought at walmart and put in a spray bottle. this will kill them on direct contact. It took me almost 5 weeks to get rid of them. I also vacuumed the rugs in the infested room daily.

Definitely! While this alone won't get rid of them, knowing your bed is safe gives you great peace of mind. Put vaseline on the bottom of your bed posts, headboard, anywhere that touches the ground, get eucalyptus oil (they hate the smell!) and spray ammonia on the bed rails and nail posts. Make sure you get the boxspring, mattress AND pillow covers! Sleep tight and, no, the bed bugs won't bite!

"Best Yet" chemical free red cedar spray is great. I haven't tried them for bed bugs but they are worth a try and it isn't toxic! Go to cedar-cidestore.com. Also I think a hair dryer might be better than a steamer. Then at least you won't get fabric and upholstery wet. Putting the infected items in a plastic bag and putting them in a car with windows rolled up that is sitting in the hot sun does the trick too.

not sure, but the bugs "outside" hate it..... can't hurt to try it.....good luck :)i've often heard that bed bugs are very resistant,though

Don't know about bed bugs. When I first got it..it worked great repelling flies. But then it just stopped repelling anything.

I do not know . I don't have bed bugs so I cant verify one way or the other. Try it because it really is a wonderful product and it does stop the reproduction capabilities of other bugs and insects so I think its worth a try.

Yes, this is actually one of the failsafe ways to kill bedbugs as they quickly grow resistant to pesticides. You will have to spread it all over rooms where you find the critters. You can also buy special cups to put around the feet of your bedframe to fill up with DE; that way, the bugs will crawl down the feet and through the powder.Be patient, though. DE works mechanically by scraping their exoskeletons and dehydrating them. It may take you a couple weeks or more to kill off all the bedbugs.
