Bed Bug Killer - Bed Bug Spray & Dust Mite Spray - Natural Treatment - 16 Oz

My bed bug story:I woke up, decided to clean my sheets, on my mattress encasement (thankfully I bought one when I first bought the mattress, always take care of your valuables and be preemptive), where my head rests when I'm sleeping, there were a ton of bed bugs and some other kind of bugs.I opened my window that week for a few days since the weather was super nice. The window sill had garnered a lot of "stuff." I wasn't sure what it was. Decided to wipe down the entire window sill. Some wind came in a couple of times, blew some of it inside, some on my bed. Didn't think much of it. Just wiped it off my bed and kept wiping the window. There is also a small gap between the window screen and the bottom of it where bugs can walk through.That's my educated guess on how all that happened. It's the only thing I did differently that week. I wash my sheets once every week, at worst, I'll miss a week but that's not common.After killing all the bugs on my bed with some cotton pads (I didn't want the blood on my encasement, obviously) and immediately putting all my sheets and comforter in the washing machine under hot water, I checked around my bed and noticed in one part of my room, next to my bed, where the carpet meets the wall, was infested with bed bugs.I grabbed a knife and for the most part, on it's side, I just smeared all the bed bugs. It was pretty bloody. Not fun, but very productive and very thorough. Threw the knife away. Not going to use that again. Then I doused my carpet with carpet cleaner (just the kind that makes your room smell nice), let it sit for a few minutes and started vacuum cleaning. I waited a few hours before bringing my sheets and comforter and pillow (I also had a pillow encasement on, thankfully, because that also had it's fair share of bugs on it too), back up from the dryer because I knew that any bed bugs left would come creeping up on the walls, and they did. So I killed those also. Then I put my bed back together. I also washed the mattress encasement.That's the first part of my story. The second part is what I did to prevent it from happening again. I'll make this one brief and bullet pointed.- I ordered a bed frame to get my bed off of the floor and give them less of a chance to reach my bed and create a breeding ground for them.- With the bed frame I ordered "bed bug interceptors." You put them underneath the stands of your frame and it traps any bed bugs trying to get to your bed. Very affordable and effective.- I checked in places that bed bugs would hide. For me this meant my dry erase board and surely enough, there were a few. My room also has ledges all throughout the room in the middle like a stripe. It looked like one of them built a nice little spot for itself. I really don't have too much on my walls. For most people this will mean picture frames, posters, wall shelves.- I checked all my wooden furniture. This is my dresser, desk, table, and small dresser, and got them all cleaned and wiped down.- I also moved every piece of furniture I have in my room 2-5 inches away from the walls.- I ordered outlet covers because apparently bed bugs can hide in the outlets when it's dangerous for them and when it's safe come back out.I believe that is everything I did leading up to this spray.Spray review:I really like it. It does have a smell but it's a nice pleasant smell, floral like. It shoots out in a line versus spray, which I also like because it made it significantly easier to spray all parts of the room where the carpet meets the wall, including in my closest. The main thing I like about is how nontoxic it is to people. All it says under precautions is that if it gets on your hands to just wash them. Most "cleaning" products will have a long list of warnings and precautions, not this one. It even tells you directly on the bottle you can spray your entire bed, sheets, and even clothing, not to soaked but just damp.As for the size of the bottle, one bottle per infested room. It's recommended you do this once every seven days just for two weeks, which is just enough per bottle, and keep doing it if you want to make sure and just be safe.My bed bug issue is gone at the moment and it's thanks to everything that I did. The bed bug spray isn't meant to be a miracle cure for your bed bug problems. You also have to do numerous other things. As you accumulate preventive measures, you'll see less and less until there isn't anymore.

Works well, just wish they sold larger bottles

This product is so-so. There are no directions to time the spraying with the night time feeding cycles with the damn bed bugs at 2AM, or timing it with the egg-laying cycle of 18 days (versus 30 days for fleas), or how often you can spray. Best advice (if you can afford it): get an exterminator ASAP that will guarantee their work for 6-months, as you might need multiple sprayings of the industrial insecticide to get rid of these buggers.If you CAN'T AFFORD IT, next best advice (from a fellow landlord), who swears her tenant tried this: Seal up the affected house or apartment by closing all doors or windows. Plan on being away for 2 days & sleeping at a motel. Put a roasting pan full of jalapeno peppers with a thin layer oil in an oven roasting pan. Turn on oven to 450 degrees. Bake pepper until the oven gets smokey. Turn oven OFF. Open the oven door, and run screaming out of the house (as the smoke with the jalapeno oils will burn your eyes). Let the smoke waft through the house for 2 days. According to my landlord friend: Viola! Gone after 2 days, and the residue it leaves behind leaves a barrier, preventing further re-infestations.Other advice:A - Pay attention to egg-laying cycles. Bedbug infestations can come with flea/mite infestations. Bedbugs/mites have a 15-18 day laying cycle, where the mid-night snacking attacks increase, because their are more children to eat you. Fleas hatch every 30-days. Spray every 2 weeks with bedbug/mite spray, then hit it that 3rd week with flea spray.B - Be prepared for the long haul, if you don't get an exterminator. If you get a professional exterminator, the nightmare is over in about 2 months, or less. If you choose to do it yourself, be prepared for up to a 6-month battle of spraying, as the stuff you buy on-line is not industrial strength.C - Cut off all possible avenues where re-infestations can occur. In my case, it was possibly traceable to a friend's flea infested home, whose dog I walked. If you have rental property that might be infested, don't enter unless you are wearing those zip up painter suits, that cover you from head to toe.D - Don't believe the naysayers that tell you: "It's just fleas." It ain't. If you get attacked at night, around 2AM to 3AM, and the bites are all over your body, it's bedbugs AND mites (more about the mites later). People will tell you the bedbugs bite in 3 in-line bites, and then they show you Google images, trying to debunk your suspicions. Don't believe them: if you're attacked at night, and bitten all over, it's bedbugs and mites. Fleas generally bite on your legs. Getting over everyone's helpful insistence that "it's all in your imagination" will go a long way to eradicating the problem. People who HAVE NEVER experienced this, try to drag you down, by keeping you in DENIAL, hence prolonging the nightmare. The naysayers might mean well, but if you ain't been to Paris, don't talk like you been there.E - Cut off the night time source for the bedbugs: YOUR SKIN. Slather yourself after every shower in vaseline, head to toe. This suffocates any bedbugs or mites hiding on your body, and they will loosen their grip on your skin, and be more readily visible. Consider switching from a hot shower (does nothing) to a hot hot soak in a tub for 20 minutes. Soaking will prompt the damn buggers to be more visible. Wipe off any black dots that appear on your skin with toilet paper, and flush down the toilet. These black dots (about the size of a very sharp pencil tip) are "mites." People that have worked around paper or boxes, call them "paper fleas," and hunters sometimes call them "chiggers." After you wipe with vaseline, and wipe them off, douse your body with medicated powder. The powder does 2 things: it calms the itchiness, and makes your skin an unwelcome place for these buggers. Also, consider using essential oils with scents of cinnamon or frankincense/myrrh to slather over your skin, as the strong scents irritate bedbugs/mites.F - Take a bendadryl to get a good nights' sleep. Dealing with this wears on you, as you only get 2-4 hours of uninterrupted sleep.G - A word on histamines... The bites spur the release of histamines throughout your body. You will have vivid nightmares, you will feel a "crawling out of your skin" sensation akin to when you had childhood chicken pox, Arguments will increase; edginess & discomfort increase. Take an allergy pill and stomach acid reducer (like pepcid to increase the allergy pill's absorption & effectiveness) to decrease the itchiness caused by the histamines.H - Purge purge purge extra clothing and furniture. For you hoarders out there (you know who you are), this will be a difficult milestone to reach. You will need to limit your supply of clothing, as you will need to wash each change of clothing DAILY. Meaning, after you wake up in the morning, put your bedclothes in the pile to be washed. After you come home from work, shower immediately, and add your clothes to the pile to be washed. You will only beat the bedbugs if you can limit your clothing supply that they ride on. Washing clothes: a) wash in hot water, and b) MOST IMPORTANT, dry your clothes for 1 HOUR minimum to kill those suckers. Again, be prepared for anywhere between 2 months to 6 months of daily washing to combat these suckers.I - Consider purging your furniture and your bed. Bedbugs hide in the bottom of your couches, and in dresser drawers. If you are not prepared to throw away your prized sofa or bed, be prepared for the long haul of 6-months, because you will have to tear out the bottom black lining of your sofa & spray underneath at the 15-day interval, and spray your whole mattress, especially the piping surrounding the perimeter of the mattress.J - Consider dousing yourself with cologne or perfume to keep the bedbugs, mites, and fleas at bay in public areas. These buggers don't like strong scents.Other than that, good luck and God Bless you on this wonderful chaotic journey!

Worked. Don’t really have a smell. Safe around pets.
