I recently stayed in a hotel and found out it had bedbugs. Does anyone know if it really kills them? I have a newborn and am terrified!

In the experience that I have with it, is it kills just about everything. I wouldn't take it to a hotel to spray all over the beds however. You can't get this stuff on your skin, especially a new born. It's fine after it dries, but I wouldn't lay my baby down in a bed I had sprayed with it.

Yes, this is actually one of the failsafe ways to kill bedbugs as they quickly grow resistant to pesticides. You will have to spread it all over rooms where you find the critters. You can also buy special cups to put around the feet of your bedframe to fill up with DE; that way, the bugs will crawl down the feet and through the powder.Be patient, though. DE works mechanically by scraping their exoskeletons and dehydrating them. It may take you a couple weeks or more to kill off all the bedbugs.

I've sprayed this directly on bed bugs and they walk away. I've sprayed CedarGreen an essential oil on them and they die in seconds. When I have to travel to hotels for work I spray this, which is perfectly safe, around the legs of the bed, the edge of the mattress, and anything touching the bed, also around where my luggage will be. It has a pretty potent smell, so I'd give it an hour to disipate a bit. This is powerfully repugnant to bugs, the product you are asking about I don't think has much if any effect.

Kills bed bug Eggs It is safe on mattress and sheets. I use plastic cases on all my pillows and mattress. Reminder you still need to continue with cleaning vacuum monitoring it only takes 1 tiny bug egg. Check your computers and electronics as well, bugs hide nest in those too.

It does not prevent bedbugs, but if you do get bed bugs they cannot get into the mattress. You can wash the cover to get rid of any dead ones after they spray. It saves you from buying a new mattress. I would suggest getting a box spring cover and pillow covers. I had bed bugs at one of my rental properties and had to through ever thing out. So if I get them again I can wash all the coverings and save the new stuff I bought.

I don't understand the question but I do know that it worked perfectly! My father had bed bugs and so did my husband's uncle. We did not dilute thestrength and we used it for two good size bedrooms. We used a lot more at my husband's uncle's house due to the heavy infestation.

Well the description says it repels bed bugs. It will help repel pests, but it's not the end all and be all. If you have an infestation of bed bugs already, it's not going to eliminate them.

Yes it kills bed bugs I used it you need to cover the whole floor under your bed do line around your walls and take you outlet covers off and put some in there you should also get some form of chemical spray and spray the walls and and cracks worked for me haven't had them sence and a lot cheaper then a exterminator

I also had a real bad case. This works great! From the Orkin guy: you need to make sure you get ALL the crevices in and around the bed (including nightstand), baseboards and especially on both sides of the cording on the mattress. Once I did that, no more bed bugs! If you see them again within two weeks, you didn't find all the hiding places. Spray again.

My son took it to the Dominican Republic with him in July. He said that he had NO bites from any bug or spider. He followed the "tent rules" by keeping it closed at all times. Unfortunately I was not able to test it out since he accidentally left it in the DR airport. As far as the bed bugs leaving the house....you need to get a GOOD exterminator to help with getting rid of these pests. In all the research that I've done, it has stated that they can live for months without feeding....they are nasty!

Conquor is not labeled for bedbugs, do not use it for this purpose. Go to "Do It yourself Pest control" to check out their recommendations. Consider PHANTOM for this application

No, and I don't think I would want to have a sheet that closed so tightly that bedbugs would be sealed out -- if such a thing even exists. Bed bugs are really small, small enough to get through most zippers, etc.

Hello, I'm glad you asked. If you have bugs, the best bet is to get It checked out. Have you been getting bites, such as little red bumps. Unless your bed is completely covered by bugs I would get the top and bottom cover, once on this will keep any bugs from coming out of mattress or box spring. This is not a total solution, so a pest control company is the next step. The one I used did a hepa vacuum and steam cleaned all rooms. A lot of work is involved cleaning clothes and moving things around. If you buy a mattress and don't take care of bugs you will still have a problem. I hope this helps.

I definitely would think so...fleas are much larger than bedbugs and if bedbugs can't get through it, fleas shouldn't be able to either!

Wonderful product !! ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS, NOT HARMFUL TO HUMANS AND PETS. I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone. Although a professional exterminator assessed that I did not have an invasion of bed bugs but rather aphids, and I returned it as it was not needed, my son suffered an invasion of bed bugs from a neighbor and swears by this product ! Shipped quickly too, hope this helps you~ Lyric

Hello, As of yet, I haven't used the mattress cover because my apartment had an infestation of bedbugs and I had to throw everything out. A professional pest control agent came to see me and he looked at this mattress cover. He said that it is made of the very thing that bedbugs like most So, I don't know the answer to YOUR question but the mattress is no good if you are going to prevent bedbugs. Annette
