[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] Does anyone know of a good bed bug spray that works?
I see a few on ebay and was wondering if anyone has tried them or anything else to help with bedbugs. A professional is coming out friday but I wanted to start treatment asap
Carrie,
I will keep my answer short - best one I have used is called BedBug Terminator and it is made by a company called Kleen-Free and is sold online at their website. They have a case study that shows it works on the bugs and their eggs.
I would get some of it and start the treatment now. Will likely be a day ro two to be shipped to you but will be better than waiting until Friday.
[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] Is it alight to spray bug killer down the side of my bed?
I woke up this morning with a monster spider waving its fangs in front of my face this morning. It fell down the side of the bed and I want to kill the little shite without moving my bed. The area I want to spray down has about a 4 mm gap from a wall (which could be made larger). Would it be safe to spray the spray down the side of the bed without worrying that I wont wake up tomorrow from poisoning.
Hate to tell you but the spider is probably long gone somewheres else. Probably in your sock drawer!
As for spraying, you can. Just spray in the morning.. dont go crazy and by night you shouldnt smell a whole lot of it. You certainly will not die from poisoning.
How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs - Bed Bug Sprays, Are They Worth It?
There have been some powerful insecticides and pesticide out there that have proven to kill bed bugs, however, these same chemicals have become harmful to humans and have been banned ever since. The pesticides that I am referring to are DDT and ones with similar chemical composition.
Since the banning of these kinds of pesticides, bed bugs have made a comeback and they're hungry! Environmentalists and researchers have tried their best to come up with different solutions that are non-toxic to humans and safe to use around the whole family. It seemed at one point almost impossible.
Even now, 1 out of every 4 homes has signs of a bed bug infestation. So that leaves us with the question, what types of bed bug sprays are effective?
Most sprays are made to kill the bugs on contact. Others are made to stay effective long after its application. For example, when the bugs come into contact with the residue of pyrethroids, which is a type of insecticide, it kills them almost instantly.
Pyrethroids are made from chrysanthemum flower extracts. Most sprays come with different strains of pyrethroids. Although the chemicals are well known to rapidly knock down the bugs that come in contact with it, it can be irritating to humans that have prolonged exposure to it. It is best to use this bed bug spray in a well ventilated areas and in places where there is frequent human contact. The mattress would not be a good place to use this spray.
Another commonly used chemical in insecticides is the active ingredient chlorfenapyr. Chlorfenapyr is a non-repellent type of insecticide, which like the pyrethroids, stay effective for long periods of time. And just like its counterpart, should be used in well ventilated areas and where there isn't frequent contact.
There has also been an incredible development of non-toxic, green sprays that are just as effective. Many companies now have eco-friendly sprays that do not include harsh pesticides or carcinogens, such as permethrins and pyrethriods. I believe the bed bug sprays do work and are definitely worth your time.
