They don’t care if you live in a studio apartment or a 5,000-square-foot single-family home. Bed bugs like cozy places because it makes them likely to encounter another bed bug.

How To Make Homemade Bed Bug Spray

Introduction

This recipe for homemade bed bug spray is a simple, effective way to keep bed bugs from crawling all over you while you’re at home or sleeping in a hotel. Unlike many other DIY bed bug sprays, this one uses two ingredients that are EPA-registered and proven to kill bed bugs: silica powder (which dries them out), and peppermint oil (which repels them). The result is a powerful, all-natural solution that’s safe for humans, pets, and the environment.

Can this be used to kill fleas on a cat?

Although you can use this spray to kill fleas, it is not recommended. Fleas are easier to kill than bed bugs because they are not as hardy and do not live in human homes. We have another article on how to get rid of fleas on cats if you’re interested in that method.

How often do I spray it?

The first time you spray, you should do so every day for two weeks. Then, spray once a day for the next two weeks. Finally, after those four weeks have passed with no signs of bed bugs, you can reduce your spraying to every three or four days.

It can also be used on other soft surfaces like carpet, couch and other upholstered furniture.

You can use the same homemade bed bug spray recipe to treat your upholstered furniture. Just pour some of it into a spray bottle, and apply the solution on the fabric. Let it soak in, and you don’t need to wipe it off. Keep in mind that this method won’t be as effective as vacuuming or steaming because bed bugs are so small that they can hide in tiny cracks and crevices easily. So if you want to kill them with this method, use a lot more solution than normal so they’ll get soaked by it when they try hiding there.

Actually, the spray bottle in the picture is kind of misleading because you will not use that amount at each application. For example, you will use about a third of that bottle for a queen/king size bed each time you spray it.

So don’t worry if your bed looks like this after spraying; just make sure the mattress and box spring are fully saturated with the solution. You do not have to get the whole thing wet!

Based on my own experience, spraying once a day (at night before going to sleep) is enough to completely eliminate all signs of bugs from a mattress (that has been flipped over and encased in a vinyl or plastic covering) after the first week of spraying. After that, simply spray once every 3-4 days and stop completely once no signs of bugs are observed for 2 weeks. As for carpets and couches, spray the liquid directly onto the surface in light streams (like misting) until the surface is damp but not soaking wet. Spray every area at least 3 times. This should be done every 3-4 days.

To eliminate bed bugs completely, it’s important to treat both the mattress and the surrounding areas that may be infested. Treating your mattress will force any surviving bugs to seek out other places to hide while you continue treating other areas of your home.

To begin, flip your mattress over so it is face up and then encase it in a vinyl cover or a zippered plastic cover (the kind used for couches). Spray once a day using a combination of clove oil and lavender oil as described above while sleeping on top of the encased mattress until all signs of life have been eliminated from both your mattress AND from anywhere else in your home. Do not spray directly onto any fabricating materials such as wood or metal because this will leave stains that cannot be removed easily with water alone; however, spraying lightly onto these surfaces should be fine since they are unlikely to absorb much liquid anyways due to their porousness/porosity levels being high enough already without adding additional moisture content into them due too much humidity being present around them!

Spray every area at least 3 times per treatment cycle including: walls & ceilings; baseboards; door frames; furniture legs/feet only if possible not just because they’re dirty but also because they may serve as entry points into other rooms where there might still be living bugs left behind after removing furniture itself–so always treat these items twice per week until no live insects can be found anywhere except outside where we don’t want them either!
