Yes, they are supposed to be for small enclosed places but you can put a few in a room, close the room off for five days. they work. Their is a pest control spray made by Bayer the aspirin company Ace Hardware carries it, comes in blue bottle effective on bedbugs as well spray base boards and any crevices that they can hide in after you use Pro strips.

Nope! I wouldn't count on it. Not if the place is furnished or cluttered in any way will it rid you of Bed Bugs. You need a professional exterminator. For BBs this product is more useful to treat books, electronics and other odds and ends (not cloth) in a sealed plastic box. Couches, beds, base boards and electrical sockets need to be treated by a pro, and all your clothing and bedding will need to be washed, dryed and sealed in plastic. I can't speak for the roach issue but your apartment is NOT airtight enough for this to work. Trust me. Diatamacious Earth has proven to be pretty effective and don't forget your new best friend...the vaccum. Good luck. Nope! I wouldn't count on it.

I have used this product in a commercial setting and it works pretty good for me. I seal the rooms as best I can and also get the rooms as hot as I can with space heaters and fans for circulation. You can use multiple strips if needed and distribute them around the room, maybe hang one from a ceiling fan, etc. Good luck!

I really wouldn't recommend it, especially outdoors. I doubled the dilution rate for roaches indoors, and once it dries, they ran right across the treated area with no effect. No long term residue or kill power.

It works on Bedbugs which are very hard to get rid off, I would say one of the hardest. Once I sprayed it in a corners of the room and bed and mattress all kinds of bugs showed up dead. I would give it a try.

I cant tell you if it does because I have never had that problem, but I heard bed bugs are very hard to get rid of, some people claim that this works on bed bugs! I would call cedarcide and ask them for there strongest most effective for bed bugs formula. I do love the stuff, and have seen several dead insects every time after I spray, like spiders beetles and scorpions. So if it keeps them out of my house I'm happy!

I think so. It works miracles on even bed bug infestations, and gets rid of roaches totally. Fleas jump so it may be a little harder to control, I would sprinkle it liberally on your carpets, rub it in and vacuum up the excess. Also rub it on box springs and mattresses under the sheets.

This product will kill on contact, but it has to be direct contact. There is no lasting effect. So, you cannot pretreat an area. The bugs can and do return to an area that was previously treated.

I don't know about the roaches, because our main insect problem was with ants, earwigs and spiders. I do know when you put it down it needs to have time to dry in order for it to have a lasting effect. We usually put it around the outside of the house and then also the inside of the house. The only time we end up with bugs is when we delay in putting it down. Been using it for 4 years now and I'm hesitant to try anything else. This works well so I'm sticking with it.

Yes it will but you MUST put out a roach bait such as Dupont . It took around 1 week to get rid of them but I also kept my house treated for well over a year for good measure . It's been 4 years since I dealt with a infestation ...

buy a small $10.00 bellows duster here on amazon or at your local hardware store. put about 1/4 full in the duster. shake it up and turn the duster on it side so as not to squirt out a stream of powder. All you want is a fine puff of dust. use it around the legs of the bed and around base boards and dressers and chest of drawers. This works very well. I friend that works for a pest control company told me about this and It is the only thing I have tried that worked and this keeps on killing where liquid only kills on contact then evaporates. this also kills many other bugs as well. hopes this helps. remember just a fine puff of dust is all you want. Not a stream of white powder.

It worked really well for fleas and roaches so I'm betting it would work on bed bugs. It will probably take a couple weeks though because unlike fleas and roaches bed bugs can go weeks being idle. Let me know if it works, I would be interested in the results.

yes this will kill bed bugs. I dont know if you have carpet or tile/wood floors. bed bugs are attracted to your CO2 you exhale. thats how they find you at night and crawl up your bed post and suck your blood:) i had them and went to battle with them. watch the videos on you tube for a CO2 bed bug bomb. I also suggest hitting all the baseboards with diatomacious earth and you wont see any bugs crawling in your house!

I'm not sure that this will be effective on killing bed bugs. It is designed to kill airborne mold and mildew spores and the like with its UV lamp and ozone generation capability.

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

That depends on how much u sprayed... it took a while but my bed bug problem is gone... Nothing works over night u have to continue to spray at least every other night.. you should also buy Diatomaceous earth.. the two works well together

Yes it will work perfectly to kill all the ants, roaches, etc. Indeed it kills all insects. This is a very powerful product. Since I introduced it in my home, no more roaches nor insects. Sprinkle around corners and little holes in your house especially in the kitchen area, cabinets, under the stove, fridge, etc

it should help to disinfect the walls and ceiling. You should test a small area to make sure that it's going to work alright with your paint. I have used it on both painted walls and wallpapered walls and never had a problem. You could try calling the company and getting their opinion on if it's going to work for you And your particular situation.

Sounds like you need a new exterminator. Anyway, I would keep the exterminator out of your apartment and use these. Keep them out of the reach of children and pets. I have a 3000 sq ft house. Put 8 in the kitchen and 4 in each of the 3 bathrooms. After about 5 days haven't seen a cockroach since. It has been several months now.
