Bed Bug Patrol Natural Bed Bug Killer Spray – 1 Gallon (128oz Refill) – Child & Pet Friendly, Non-Toxic Treatment for Beds, Furniture, Carpets, Hotels, Offices, Travel & Home Protection

I did a lot of research on the subject as I was facing a major infestation of Bed Bugs and Cockroaches also. I was going to be doing an older family members hoarder home, which a Heat Treat company quoted $2,000 to do it, without any guarantees. I knew of a similar home where they had to come back 4 times and every time pay additional to do another Heat-treat, and it cost them over $4,000 by the time they were done, and I knew that would not be an option for this couple.I opted to use Bed Bug Patrol, because of it's testing, and the fact it was Child and Pet Friendly.I will admit, as part of my plan I used a compact Steamer after vacuuming, in many of the areas that were egg hatching areas, before I stated spraying the Bed Bug Patrol. I Sprayed the carpet, under and behind all trim areas and other wood work, furniture, Bed Frames, and Box Springs., and 2 Lazy Boy chairs where they set most of the time. I Washed and Dried all bedding and put mattress encasement's on all mattresses.3 days later I came back and their was a 85% reduction in every kind of bug. Because of all the horded stuff, which I did not spray at the time, I knew there would still be problems when I came back.The bedroom that originally had the most infestation, had been reduced tremendously, but I re-steamed and sprayed again with Bed Bug Patrol. I know I could have waited a few weeks like other pest control people do because of the residual lasting effect, but I need results and I still had hording areas to tackle.I came back about another 3 days later, and seen no bed bugs in the room with the major infection.The cockroaches were more of a problem because the do not isolate in areas like Bed Bugs do, but even they were reduced in numbers. I have since came back a third time, and all bed bugs were gone from the bedrooms and living room chair area where they set. The cockroaches are now reduced by about 95% or better and I am still spraying with the Bed Bug Patrol because it is still working, but I am now adding bait station Dinners where the cockroaches can bring their dates for dinner, before heading home with leftovers for the family.I have a friend who is a professional in this field who has advised me, and although he used a different product in his work, which I won't name here, He had never heard of or used Bed Bug Patrol, but he was very impressed with it's effectiveness, and that it was Child and Pet Friendly, which his product is not.

It can be a lot of work to get rid of bed bugs as I’ve found out the hard way. I purchased the smaller bottle of Bed Bug patrol last week in hopes of finally getting rid of these bed bugs that we picked up while on travel in Europe recently. We have even tried several other products on the market (both from the store and off Amazon) to no avail. I applied it as soon as it arrived (BTW it smells terrific like Christmas with peppermint and clove to me) on to two of our couches, a bed, the moldings, wall, and floor around those, including and around the outlets, which isn't recommended, but that's where the bedbugs tend to make their home. We do have a pretty bad infestation. Even tried a local pest control company (harmful pesticides) but it made very little difference and the company also refused to come back when I told them there were still visible bed bugs in our home. Again we also tried other products that did not full work. I found out that using a fogging machine and only did it once, it didn't reach the nooks and crannies where they actually live, that it wasn’t a good enough follow up to kill them all. What I've seen that this is the type of thing that needs to be done continuously until all the adults are dead and all the eggs are hatched since nothing seems to kill the eggs. I later the next day checked the entire area and found a lot of dead bead bugs. It's been less than a week, and every time I look I continue to find more and more. I will now be ordering several larger gallon size bottles and will be using it in all of our bedrooms as well as in the living room again and on the couches, corners, crevices etc. its an easy product to apply. We have a pretty heavy infestation, so I plan on continuing the use of the product for a few more months to be sure we got them all. This has upended our life! So the sooner it was over the better! Well it is over thanks to this product. I also found out that bed bugs can lay dormant without a meal for over a year without eating, which really scares me because if there are a few more hidden in the walls and we stop treating, it can possibly all start over again. I gave this 5 stars because it's been less than a few weeks and we already see zero bed bugs. For us to only have to treat certain areas rather than fog our whole house with harmful pesticide is very helpful, plus again it smells great and doesn't leave any residue. If I have any additional updates I will post again in the future.

Update: the company has reached out & offered a refund, which i appreciate! Great customer service.The spray you hope you never need.. Got some items from a recently vacated home, later found out they had bedbugs there! I prefer to use natural treatments whenever possible, so purchased this. However - I found a bug on an item I’d brought home, sprayed this directly on it and the bug casually continued to move about like it owned the place. Shiver. Promptly tossed the item in the trash and proceeded to vacuum like a crazy person, obsessively check every possible nook & cranny, put sticky traps all over the house, and vacuumed some more. And then some more for good measure. This spray smells good at least! And might work for fleas or something… didn’t seem to do it for the bedbug tho.. maybe it would be enough to ward them off your luggage while traveling? YUCK!! Hopefully never need to worry about it again!!
