I am using old barn wood on my interior walls. is this product good for exsisting bugs in the wood? will kill the bugs in the wood?

Woodlife is a wood preservative and sealer, not an insecticide. Not sure it will kill anything living in the wood.

I am a professional termite guy. This stuff won't kill the bugs per se, if you have drywood termites or lyctus beetles, you could be bringing in a problem. We use this stuff to provide some weather protection after treating the wood with a DOT solutuion e.g. Timbor.

Not sure about bugs. I use it as a wood preservative . It's really good for this.

I am sorry to say but I can't answer your question. I used Woodlife Classic outdoors as a sealer so that my regular paint would have a good surface to hold the paint.

Hi Ron. I doubt woodlife will kill wood-boring insects. Look into borates (boric acid) for that. Timbor and Boracare are a couple of products. It is not toxic unless you eat it. The way it works is the insect eats the wood treated with the borates, then dies.

Rosemary, I'm not sure about those specific bugs, but I was having issues with cockroaches and crickets. the bug spray from the store took care of the cockroaches, but not the crickets. I bought this stuff, and after the first spray the outside perimeter looked like a cricket and cockroach graveyard. I thought I was going to have to dig a trench for a mass burial in my front yard. From my experience with this product, I think it would be safe to assume it would knock out your beetle problem.

After talking to the Orkin pest control man I would like to be very honest and tell you that he informed me that if you buy the 20 mule team laundry detergent and use it in cracks crevices and around your beds that it actually works better than the DE. The detergent contains BORAX which is a lot deadlier and faster to kill than the DE. Also if you have seen one bed bug then there are many more hiding!!!! You really need to get a pest control to do an inspection. These bed bugs are almost impossible to kill. I know I have been battling them for 2 years now and whenever I think I have the problem licked they come back!!!!!! Heat kills them!!

Yes it will kill beetles and it does definately make the zap sound on larger bugs. I run mine usually all night and have done so for the better part of a year and have not had any issues or had to replace the bulb as I have with others.

Don't know about the eggs. I assume it kills the larva on contact since it stopped the bugs dead in their tracks but it also doesn't have any residual effect either. A few hours after spraying it on pillows and my couch I found bugs crawling on the areas I had sprayed. I was disappointed. Since my epidemic was pretty much isolated to my couch and somewhat to my bed (soon as I discovered them I quit sleeping in my bed so they didn't multiply there). I eventually ended up hauling all my furniture out to the curb (it was old), put encasement's on my mattress and box spring and then moved 1,200 miles away. I haven't seen a bug since moving thank God. Good luck. Don't know about the eggs.

I used this with DE for bedbugs. I put it close to the joints of the bed and on the floor. I also used it in my pantry for weevils. Just fill it and squeeze. It gets in the air but just leave the area for a little while to allow it to settle.

It is easy to use and it kills any insects that try to crawl around our house. Just make sure the areas where you spray it along the baseboards and such that they are fully dry before small pets or children roam around. Hope this helps. But it's by far the best and only thing we use around our house.

The manaul clearly states that this unit is not to be used indoors, If you have problems with bed bugs you can try an insecticide where the active ingredient is "bifenthrin" this can be applied with a manual sprayer, it is very important to clean the bed after and vacuum the afected areas .

No unless you. Have termites in your home in the walls are infested with termites but no it that would be the same thing as if you had a wooden chair wooden table or a wooden spoon no honey you're not going to get any termites in your bed it's a great product and it works wonderfully

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

Make sure you cleaned up very well, especially if you tried other bug products before. They might be avoiding it because the smell of prior products might be lingering. Apply again after everything is clean and dry. You should see results by the next day. Also, sometimes they go back between the walls to die there. It leaves them in 'zombie-mode' for hours before they finally die, which is enough time for them to get back to where they came from.

I would call Talstar to get that answer, it works good on a lot of bugs , I have never used it for bed bugs.

Ive never used on bed bugs but the instructions say it will kill them and trust me it will kill them and any other moving creature you spray! KEEP AWAY FROM PETS AND USE RESPONSIBLY. I would take mattress outdoor and spray the heck out of it and leave outside for 2 days in sunlight or garage. Wash all sheets in clorox, etc, spray around floors edges and shampoo carpets.

Sorry...I am not sure if this product works on bed bugs, I haven't experienced any bed bugs. I know it works well outdoors on all types of other bugs.

I never used it to kill bed bugs. When I travel , I use a product called Ridd to spray the room and my suit case. Just being safe and eliminate the chance of bringing any back with me.

I bought the Ecosmart insecticide for roaches. As far as I could tell, outside of a hideous smell it did absolutely nothing to kill anything but the time you spent to put it out. It may drown bugs, but I wouldn't trust it for anything else.
