DIY Bed Bug Treatment Drawbacks

  • Choosing the wrong pesticide.

    Most of the “bed bug sprays” sold in stores or online will not exterminate all bed bugs. In fact, most pesticides will act as a repellant and cause the bed bugs to run.

  • Pesticide does not kill bed bug eggs.

    Bed bugs attach their eggs to hidden areas of mattresses, couches, and in the cracks of wooden furniture. These eggs will still hatch after you spray. The newly hatched bugs will bite.

  • Cusotmers do not handle or mix pesticides properly.

    You can make yourself, your family, or your pets very sick if you do not use the right protective equipment and if you mix or apply the product incorrectly
