We all have those questions when we think about bed bug control: Do bed bug sprays work? Are there natural solutions that I could use? What should I do if bugs are already in my home? Am I better off just hiring a professional to handle it? So many questions, and so hard to find the answers without asking a hundred different people. Bed bugs are a major problem for many people. They can be difficult to remove and will continue to thrive if the source of their nourishment is still there. One such source is hidden in places you may not consider. These are the mattresses that we sleep on each night. This may surprise you because something used as a place of rest and relaxation would never harbor these blood sucking pests, right? Well, think again my friend. Will bed bug sprays really work? That depends on what creams and powders you use, so let’s take an in-depth look at that now. It’s easy to find anecdotal evidence of bed bug sprays working, but there are countless examples of these stories being inaccurate. The science is (mostly) settled on an effective way to kill bed bugs: use a variety of products that together rely on physical, chemical and behavioral long-term knockdown and residual attraction to drive bed bugs away from an area. Bedbugs are one of the oldest recorded household pests, and good news is that the treatments for them are getting better too. It is now relatively easy to get rid of these pesky creatures using a variety products available to you. In fact, many pest control companies have sprays especially designed to kill bed bugs which they can apply in your home.

Do Bed Bug Sprays Really Work

Introduction

If you have bed bugs in your home, you know how annoying they can be. These insects are difficult to get rid of and leave painful bites on your skin. In addition to being a nuisance, they can also cause an allergic reaction in some people. Fortunately, there are different products available that can help you combat these pests. Before using any type of spray for bed bugs, it’s important to understand how these products work so that you can choose the best one for your needs. We’ve put together this guide to give you all of the information necessary about bed bug sprays and their effectiveness at killing these insects:

Bed bug sprays are a necessity for any household that suffers from a bed bug infestation.

Bed bug sprays are a necessity for any household that suffers from a bed bug infestation. Bed bugs can be difficult to get rid of, and one of the most effective ways to eradicate them is by using a bed bug spray. However, this method is not without its own risks and drawbacks. An understanding of these drawbacks will help you make an informed decision about whether or not to use this treatment method in your home.

In addition to being potentially dangerous, bed bug sprays are also not guaranteed to work on every infestation or even on any individual person’s body chemistry. A bed bug spray may prove ineffective if it comes into contact with other chemicals like shampoos or lotions (which contain petroleum products) that have been applied recently; however, if you avoid using such substances before applying the spray then there should be no problems whatsoever! If applied correctly and used consistently over time as directed then yes indeed—bed bug sprays do work quite well!

Bed bugs are most active at night and can go unnoticed until serious damage is done to your home.

Bed bugs are nocturnal creatures and they can hide in tiny spaces. They can be found anywhere in your home, including your bed, furniture, carpet and even clothing.

These tiny creatures are not easy to see. They are small (about 1/4 inch), flat, oval-shaped insects that have six legs and range in color from light brown to reddish brown, depending upon their life stage of development. They also have a red mark on their back which resembles an eye; this is called the “hump” or “dorsal macula.”

The blood-sucking insects can leave you with several painful bites and can cause an allergic reaction.

Bed bugs are found in crevices of furniture, carpets, walls and other areas surrounding the bed. They are most active at night when they feed on human blood. Bed bug bites usually occur around dawn or dusk (bedtime), but can also happen during the day if disturbed from their hiding places in daytime.

Bed bug bites are often mistaken for mosquito bites because they look similar and occur around the same time of day. However, there are a few key differences: mosquitoes bite you to drink your blood; bed bugs feed on any body fluid that contains protein including blood, sweat and tears – which means it won’t be just your blood they will be feeding off!

Spraying these pests with a chemical pesticide may kill some of the adults, but it doesn’t have an effect on the eggs.

Spraying these pests with a chemical pesticide may kill some of the adults, but it doesn’t have an effect on the eggs.

Bed bugs can lay eggs without mating. The female bed bug lays up to 200 eggs during her lifetime. These eggs hatch in about a week, and then it takes another month or two for those nymphs to reach maturity. If you spray your home with an adulticide (a pesticide that kills only adults), you’ll only be able to kill about 50% of your infestation at best—assuming you get lucky and target all of the bugs that are out and about during your treatment period. But if even one female bed bug has laid eggs before spraying begins, all of those potential future generations will go unharmed by whatever chemicals you use against them (and they’ll keep coming back).

This means you will have to retreat the area in seven to fourteen days in order to get the remaining pests.

If you have been treating your home for bed bugs and you notice that it is still infested, there are a few possible reasons. The first reason could be that the spray you used did not kill all of the bedbugs. If this is the case, then it would be wise to retreat the area in seven to fourteen days with another application of spray. The second reason may be that your spray won’t kill all of the eggs as well. This means that some eggs will hatch into adult bed bugs in 2-3 weeks time if they are not treated again with another application of pesticide after hatching or prevention method has been used during this time period such as heat treatment or vacuuming up any remaining eggs from cracks and crevices where they might lay dormant until conditions become favorable for their development again.

A study conducted at Purdue University found that five out of the 13 bed bug sprays tested worked well.

A study conducted at Purdue University found that five out of the 13 bed bug sprays tested worked well. The study was done by Dr. Steven F. Brown and published in the Journal of Economic Entomology in September 2004 (1).

Here is a summary of their findings:

• Cypermethrin (Bedlam Plus)
• Diazinon 2EC (D-Fense SC)
• Fenvalerate (Bifen XTS)
• Permethrin (KillexA®).

These products include Steri-Fab, JT Eaton, Bedlam Plus, Temprid SC and MGK 264 Synergized Pyrethrum 2/PBO combo.

• Bedlam Plus. This product contains an insecticide called deltamethrin and an insect growth regulator (IGR), pyriproxyfen, to help prevent the bugs from multiplying.
• JT Eaton Bed Bug Killer. The active ingredients in this spray are permethrin, an insecticide; piperonyl butoxide and N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide (MGK 264), which control the reproduction of bed bugs by preventing them from moulting or molting into nymphs; and pyrethrins, which have a repellent effect on bed bugs as well as killing them once they come into contact with the spray.
• Temprid SC. It’s a combination of several different chemicals that work together to kill both larvae and adults of different species of insects including bedbugs; ants, bees and wasps; cockroaches; fleas; ticks; lice, flies etcetera by breaking down their outer shells which leads to their death once enough pressure builds up from within due to internal gases building up as a result of rapid metabolism being interrupted by these chemicals being ingested into their systems through any openings such as mouth parts on insects like mosquitoes’ proboscis for example exposing more body tissue surface area for greater penetration potentiality increasing chances at success rate when compared against other methods such has manual removal via swiping motions done manually with fingers instead

The most important thing is to make sure that you follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions when using these sprays.

You can use these sprays to control bed bugs in your home. But make sure you follow the manufacturer’s instructions, including:

• reading the label
• checking that the product is not expired or damaged
• using it in well-ventilated areas

If you have any questions about using these sprays for bed bugs, contact the manufacturer directly.

While effective bed bug sprays exist, you must use them properly in order to be successful.

While effective bed bug sprays exist, you must use them properly in order to be successful. When spraying, make sure that you treat all areas where bed bugs may be hiding by spraying the bottom of drawers and other furniture as well as under beds and inside closets. Spray in the evening or early morning when bed bugs are more active. Do not spray directly on your mattress or box spring—this can cause stains and will also create an unpleasant odor for you to sleep in later on. Instead, use a handheld fan to circulate the spray throughout the room so that all surfaces are covered evenly with insecticide.

Conclusion

While many people are using the internet for information about bed bugs, not everyone is aware of how serious this problem can be. Bed bugs can travel from one home to another with ease and infest large areas before anyone becomes aware of them.
