Bed bug sprays can be used to kill bed bugs. It's both effective and environmentally friendly. But it's important to find one that works for your specific needs. Here are some qualities to look for:
Results
You need a product with a high level of efficacy that can kill bugs, eggs and nymphs quickly, but without leaving any residue. Many products are designed for this purpose.
The best bedbug spray killers are made with active ingredients that are similar to plants, like pyrethroids. Pyrethroids kill bed bug strains on contact.
The chemicals also kill nymphs, eggs, and larvae before they reach adulthood. The products are non-toxic for pets, children, and humans.
Some products don't have an odor, but others do. The chemical smell fades away after a while. You should always read the label to ensure that you are using a spray approved by the EPA for your home.
What it does
Bed bug sprays work by attacking the central nervous system of bed bugs. They lose the ability to fight. It's especially dangerous for children and infants, as they are more vulnerable to poisoning.
You should look for a spray which uses a natural insecticide such as dinotefuran or chloropicrin, both of which are more effective than synthetics pyrethrins. Look for products that have a 5% solution, such as deltamethrin. This is safe for both children and elderly people.
Residual effects
Some sprays are able to continue killing bed bugs and nymphs weeks after initial application. These sprays are an excellent choice for a longer-term solution.
These chemicals can also be used without attracting pets or children. The sprays might not be as effective in treating bed bug strains that are resistant to pyrethroids.
Sprays are not only effective in killing bedbugs, but they can also help prevent future infestations. They act as a barrier to keep them out of the house. These sprays are especially helpful in preventing bed bug infestations from spreading into other rooms.
Infested areas should be treated twice to ensure the death of all insects. It's especially important if you are dealing with a large infestation of bed bugs that will be difficult to eradicate in one treatment.
A PMP can conduct a thorough inspection and provide advice about what steps to take to control bed bugs. They can also apply a variety of insecticides to the infested areas, depending on the extent and severity of the infestation.
Other services, such as steam and heat treatments, can be offered by them. These options can be used along with insecticide treatments to help reduce the need for PMP visits.
