Bed Bug Deterrent

Bed bugs have no biological reason to be repelled by any smell. If they are, it is only because the smell is so strong they would rather move than deal with it.

Bed bugs have no biological reason to be repelled by any smell. If they are, it is only because the smell is so strong that they would rather move than deal with it. The belief that a certain odor will repel bed bugs comes from the fact that some people erroneously believe bed bugs do not have a sense of smell and therefore cannot detect odors.

Bed bugs use their antennae to sense vibrations and carbon dioxide exhaled by humans in order to locate food sources or hosts for feeding on (their blood). They can also detect heat from warm-blooded animals up to several feet away.

Lavender, clove oil and peppermint oil can be used to deter bed bugs but they don’t work on a large scale and their effect wears off quickly. It is also very expensive to treat a whole house this way.

Essential oils are only effective for small areas of your home. They need to be reapplied every few days for them to continue working effectively in deterring the pests from entering your home.

There are some things that you should never use as bed bug deterrents:

• Cedar wood shavings or chips (many people mistakenly think that cedar helps keep bugs away) – it doesn’t! In fact, it attracts them!
• Powdered dog or cat dander (again, many people think this will help) – it won’t! This substance actually attracts more insects than repelling them because they like the smell of animal products so much!

Even our deterrent sprays have no scent to humans but you can use essential oils if you wish just make sure you don’t waste your money buying more expensive oils because they don’t work better than cheaper ones.

If you wish to use essential oils, we suggest the following:

If you are using your bed bug spray as a bed bug deterrent, place a few drops of clove oil or cinnamon oil into the spray bottle and shake vigorously before applying. The aroma will start to dissipate within 30 minutes but may linger around for up to 24 hours after application.

Essential oils are not effective long term and should only be used as an occasional treatment when first transitioning out of infested areas. They do not kill adult bed bugs or prevent re-infestation so it is important that you use our sprays instead if you want better results!

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) does not deter bed bugs but it does kill them if you carefully apply in all small cracks. Look for food grade DE not pool or garden grade which can be harmful when inhaled.

DE is a fine white powder made from the fossilized remains of tiny aquatic organisms called diatoms. It works by breaking down the exoskeleton of insects, causing them to dehydrate and die.

This is the reason why the most effective treatment for getting rid of these parasites involves using insecticides that contain pyrethroids or organophosphates (OPs). These chemicals are toxic to insects so they won’t stand much chance of surviving exposure to them!
