Product Information

At this point, you’re ready to use your bed bug bomb. It’s important that you get it working as soon as possible, to minimize the chance that the bed bugs can find somewhere else to hide. Alternatives to Bed Bug Bombs If you want to know how to get rid of bed bugs, then you’re most likely already dealing with an infestation. The first step is to remain calm: bed bugs aren’t dangerous, nor do they carry diseases. That’s the good news: the bad news is that these hugely irritating insects love nothing more than to feast on your blood while you sleep. And despite the name, you will also find them attached to your clothing, furniture and other personal effects. If you want to stay on top of a bed bug infestation, without having to spend much money, we would recommend a spray. You can either buy one of many commercially available sprays, or make one yourself with tea tree oil or something similar. To be clear, by this kind of spray, we mean an insecticide that you spray like a kitchen or bathroom cleaning spray, not a bed bug bomb. Bedbugs’ small and narrow bodies enable them to squeeze into tiny spots, like the seams of a mattress or couch and the folds of curtains. If you live in an apartment or condominium, it’s best to alert the property manager. A coordinated bed bug control effort using a pest control company is generally needed in such situations. Bed bugs readily move from apartment to apartment, with many people unaware that they have a problem. If one apartment is infested, adjoining units (left side, right side, above and below) should be assumed to be infested unless shown otherwise through inspection or monitoring. Simply asking tenants whether they have bed bugs is not enough. In one recent study only half of apartment residents whose homes were determined to have bed, bugs knew (or admitted) they had a bed bug problem.

In fact, in this study from 2012, bedbugs collected in the field showed almost no reaction to permethrin-based bedbug bombs. The only bugs that were killed were ones that were out in t Bed bug bombs are pesticides used to eliminate all bed bugs in a specific area in the shortest amount of time. They are cans that contain large amounts of pesticide (enough to fill a room) waiting to be emptied. Some come with strings, while others come with buttons, and all you have to do is detonate it and wait for it to do its job. Bed bug bombs can be a key component of an overall bed bug eradication plan, but they only rarely finish the whole job themselves in a single shot. This product is not so different from using any other aerosol cans just that in this case, the aerosol continuously releases the content once pressed. Wash all the fabrics in the relevant room – including bedding, clothing and curtains – on a high setting (ideally 60°C) and/or put them in a tumble drier on a hot setting for half an hour; the heat will kill the bed bugs. Alternatively, dry clean all affected items, as the chemicals also kill bed bugs.Yes, you can, but the same problems apply as above. That’s because bed bugs in cars tend to hide in places like: They will then turn on specially designed equipment that can raise the temperature of the whole room or house to the necessary level. This can take some time—between six and eight hours usually. The air temperature might hit 135 degrees, for example, but the inside of furniture will only be 90 degrees. At this temperature, the bed bugs are unharmed. You need to wait for the temperature to get high enough. Pest control companies can also use whole room heat treatments. They bring in special equipment that heats up the room to a temperature between 135 and 145 °F (57.22 and 62.78 °C) — high enough to kill bedbugs.

Spraying them like this will encourage the bed bugs to scatter. Any that do scatter, spray them directly. If you use a strong solution, this should kill them.

Take the necessary precautions: Before using bed bug bombs, it’s critical to ensure that you have taken all of the necessary precautions. This includes covering all food and utensils, moving furniture, and removing any pets and plants from the area. Bedbug bombs typically use synthetic pyrethroids such as permethrin. Permethrin has been widely used around the world to kill bedbugs and other insects for decades. As a result of this widespread use, many strains of bed bugs have developed an immunity to this pesticide. Home Depot features Hot Shot Bed Bug Fogger. As well as the fogger, Home Depot carries a full line of Hot Shot bed bug killer products. The eradication process sometimes requires more than one product to ensure success. It’s safer to use products made by the same company rather than mixing brands.
