- Add 20 drops of lavender oil and tea tree oil to 1 liter of water.
Both are natural insect repellents and insecticides, so they can be useful in fighting bed bugs. The best way to use this remedy is to add a few more drops of tea tree oil than lavender oil, which will make the solution stronger.
You should always mix the solution well before applying it on your bedding or furniture because mixing the oils will help them spread evenly throughout the surface area being treated.
For a stronger solution, add lavender oil and tea tree oil to a spray bottle filled with witch hazel extract.
If you’d like a stronger solution, you can add lavender oil and tea tree oil to a spray bottle filled with witch hazel extract. Witch hazel extract is a natural astringent that will help tighten up the skin and make the solution stronger. Both lavender and tea tree oils are essential oils that have antiseptic properties.
To apply, simply spray the solution onto your skin after washing it with soap and water. The solution should dry quickly as most of it evaporates into the air; however, if there’s any residue left behind feel free to rinse off again or just let your skin air dry after applying this homemade remedy for bed bug bites!
Mix equal parts clove, rosemary and cinnamon essential oils with olive oil and apply the solution to your beddings, linens and curtains.
- What you’ll need:
- Clove essential oil
- Rosemary essential oil
- Cinnamon essential oil
- How to prepare the solution:
- Mix equal parts clove, rosemary and cinnamon essential oils with olive oil in a small bowl or spray bottle. The amount of each is not important as long as they are all equal amounts. If using an empty spray bottle, add 5-10 drops of each essential oil (depending on how strong you want the smell) and fill the rest of the way with water or witch hazel before adding it to your bedding or linens. Do not use undiluted essential oils directly on skin! If using an empty bowl, pour enough water over your hands so that they are just wet enough to apply without slipping. Then rub them together until they’re warm before beginning to massage into any areas where you think bed bugs may be hiding (your mattress).
Add 10 to 15 drops of lavender or eucalyptus oil to a small bottle of water and spray it on the infested areas.
Remove all bedding and wash it in hot water. Spraying infested areas with lavender or eucalyptus oil will help to kill the bugs, but also make sure to vacuum often. If you have a bagless vacuum cleaner, put the collected dust into a sealed plastic bag for disposal.
Add neem oil, lavender oil or tea tree oil to your laundry detergent before washing your sheets, linens and clothes.
Add neem oil, lavender oil or tea tree oil to your laundry detergent before washing your sheets, linens and clothes. You can also use this solution to spray your bedding and furniture after washing. This will help to kill any bed bugs that might still be hiding.
Rub cedarwood oil on any area that may have come into contact with bed bugs. This can prevent further infestation.
One of the best ways to prevent bed bug infestation is to rub cedarwood oil on any area that may have come into contact with bed bugs. This can help prevent further infestation and stop any existing ones from spreading, as well. However, it should be noted that using undiluted cedarwood oil on the skin can cause irritation.
To use cedarwood oil for this purpose:
- Use undiluted (undiluted means not mixed with water) cedarwood oil in small amounts at a time
- Rub it in a circular motion over your body or furniture
