If you’ve found yourself in the middle of a bed bug infestation, thorough inspections, frequent re-treatments, and monitoring are essential. This approach can take more time than chemical treatment, but it’s worth the effort.
The Harris pyrethroid-resistant bed bug solutions is a top pick among homeowners because of its easy-to-use spray bottle. It has a battery-operated wand option that makes it easier to reach hard-to-reach areas like curtain edges and behind furniture.
1. Bedlam Plus
Bedlam Plus is an aerosol insecticide from MGK that kills pyrethroid-resistant bed bugs, fleas and their eggs. It can be used as a spot treatment or crack and crevice spray on furniture, baseboards and floors. It is odorless and will not stain water-safe fabrics and surfaces.
This low-odor pesticide is ideal for use in homes, hospitals and commercial settings. It works on contact to eliminate pests and provides residual control for weeks.
Spray directly on mattresses, paying attention to seams, folds, tufts and edges. Treat box springs, headboards and bed frames as well. Infested bed linens should be removed, tightly sealed in plastic bags and laundered prior to reuse.
2. Ortho Home Defense Max Bed Bug Killer
The second step in a 3-step bed bug solution system, this powder is safe to use and will kill fleas and ticks along with hard-to-reach bed bugs. It can be applied directly from the bottle or with a hand duster to cracks and crevices where these pests like to hide such as bed frames, baseboards, and around window frames. It also works against ants, silverfish, carpet beetles, centipedes, scorpions and spiders.
Bed bugs are skilled survivors, so it’s important to apply this product thoroughly. Otherwise, they may avoid the treatment area and your problem will continue or get worsen.
3. Harris Bed Bug Killer
Harris Bed Bug Killer Powder comes ready to use and no additional application tools are needed. It can be applied using a hand duster, power duster or bulbous duster for indoor and outdoor crack and crevice applications (except food/feed handling establishments).
This non-staining powder material is effective against bed bugs including those that are resistant to traditional pyrethroids. It is also lethal to other crawling pests like fleas, cockroaches, silverfish, ants and crickets. It is derived from ground-up sedimentary rock that contains innumerable tiny, sharp edges that cut through insects’ exoskeletons leading to dehydration and death.
4. Bed Bug Killer Dust
Despite what the name suggests, bed bugs are good at hiding. Their flat bodies fit into tight corners and seams where you might not think to look.
One of the best ways to control a bed bug infestation is by washing bedding, clothing and draperies in hot water and drying them at high heat. If items can’t be washed or dried, place them in a 0oF freezer for a few days.
Other treatment options include vacuuming and using a dusting powder to target cracks, crevices and voids. Apply dust to mattress and box spring seams, tufts and edges, frames of furniture and other articles in the sleeping area, baseboards, pictures/wall hangings, behind furniture legs and other hollow areas where insects hide.
5. Bed Bug Killer Spray
When dealing with bed bugs, meticulous inspection is key to success. Look for rust-colored smears on mattresses and sheets, shed skins from molting nymphs, and musty odors.
Vacuuming and encasing your mattress, box spring, and headboard will get rid of most adults and nymphs but won’t kill eggs. For that, you need insecticide sprays and dusts to treat every crack and crevice.
Extreme heat and cold are also known bed bug killers. Laundering all fabrics in hot (122oF) water will destroy most, but not all. If items like draperies, backpacks, and stuffed toys can’t be washed, putting them in a 0oF freezer will kill them.
6. Bed Bug Killer Spray Wand
Bed bugs are one of the most difficult pests to eliminate from a home. They are small, elusive and reproduce quickly. A thorough inspection and treatment by a licensed professional is your best option for a quick, full elimination.
Vacuuming, a steam treatment and interceptor monitors can help reduce an infestation. Keep in mind, however, that vacuuming alone may not kill all bed bug eggs and nymphs, nor remove them from nooks and crannies where they hide.
Installing double-cupped interceptor monitors under the legs of your bed traps any bed bugs attempting to climb to (or from) your mattress. These devices work best when wiped down weekly with a small amount of talcum powder to make it harder for the bed bugs to escape.
7. Bed Bug Killer Spray Concentrate
A concentrated formula for bed bugs, this product is ideal for spraying nooks and crannies like mattress seams, baseboards, closets, door and window frames, headboards and other furniture. It contains piperonyl butoxide to enhance the power of its main ingredients (permethrin and clothianidin) which provide a fast-acting knockdown and long-lasting control.
This formulation also kills pyrethroid-resistant bed bug strains at all life stages, which helps you get to work on your treatment plan faster. Remember to always follow the label directions and remove children, pets and sensitive items before spraying. Also, avoid spraying electrical outlets or putting any kind of liquid spray near them.
8. Bed Bug Killer Gel
Bed bugs are difficult to eradicate, and they can build up resistance to many common sprays. This makes it important to use multiple methods in your battle against the pests.
A great option is to add a dusting powder to your arsenal. This type of pesticide can be used in hard-to-reach areas, such as the cracks and crevices of your mattress and box spring. It also can be applied to the tufts and seams of your headboard, along with other hiding spots.
Once you have encased your mattress and treated your furniture, consider adding interceptor traps or blackout curtains to prevent bed bug infestations. These products isolate your bed, making it impossible for the pests to climb in and out of it.
9. Bed Bug Killer Spray
Our company provides bed bug spray is a top choice for treating large areas, as it has a powerful formula that kills bed bugs on contact and continues to work long after application. It’s also safe for use around children and pets when used as directed.
Its foaming formula expands on application, ensuring that it reaches the nooks and crannies where bed bugs hide. It also offers residual action, so it continues to work for up to four weeks after application.
When paired with a mattress and box spring encasement and bed bug traps/monitors, this product can be an effective solution for getting rid of bed bugs in couches and recliners.
