Bedlam Bed Bugs Spray (2 Spray Cans)

The pest guy recommended this spray because it’s more child safe than any others and we needed to spray my daughter’s crib as we had to trash her bassinet that was heavily infested from not being sprayed! Easy to use and no smell after it airs out for two hours

Nobody wants to admit they have bedbugs. We got them and still don't know where they came from. After much work we also got rid of them using a five-stage approach, of which Bedlam was an integral part.1. We got bedbug mattress and box-spring bags for our beds. These are available from Amazon and other dealers. They are tightly woven and also have tight zippers which even the tiniest bedbug can not wiggle through. These provide a barrier which will keep any bedbugs that might be in your mattress from getting out -- even if there is a nest there. It also keeps the bedbugs out which will keep the mattresses free of bedbugs in the future.2. We got some Diatomaceous earth powder. This again is available from Amazon or other retailers. The powder is incredibly fine, and has sharp pointy edges. These are too tiny to hurt your skin, but they will mess up bedbugs that walk through it or touch it pretty bad. It also can cause them respiratory issues. This is something that can occur in some humans and pets, so be sure to wear the best dust mask you might have, and keep pets clear while applying. Diatomaceous earth is non-toxic to humans and is even used in some food and drug products. Use this powder, following label directions, in cracks and crevices. These can be places like along baseboards, in cracks in furniture, and similar places. Bed bugs that go through this powder will soon be in bedbug heaven, but will not drop dead on the spot. Still, eliminating any bedbug will help, and bedbugs have not gotten resistant to Diatomaceous earth.3. Clean or get rid of everything made of cloth you can. If you can't clean them with soap or water consider using high heat in a dryer. If the fabric will take such punishment, dry it. Heating bedbugs to these temperatures for around 30 minutes or so will kill any living bedbugs, and also kill bedbug eggs. If you have old clothing or linens, stuffed animals or other things you don't really want any way, through them out or burn them. (Don't store them inside while waiting to get rid of them, since they might move to a new area of the house.) If you have something you really can't clean, but don't really want to through out you might take a chance and use the hot dryer method to kill any bed bugs. We have done this on stuffed animals which are still being used with none showing any signs of damage after their ride in the hot-air.4. Get bedbug furniture leg "coasters". These are plastic dishes into which furniture legs are placed. They work by having a highly polished surface on which the bedbugs can not climb, or by placing a barrier such as mineral oil between the floor and the bed or chair legs. This either traps the bedbugs so they can be eliminated, or poisons them and kills them.5. Use Bedlam Spray to treat everything you couldn't otherwise treat. This product can be used on most fabrics where water is safe, as well as carpets and other surfaces. Bedlam will not normally knock down or instantly kill every bedbug, and some people criticize this, but the product will stick to living bedbugs like glue, and when the bedbug returns to it's safe place (usually occupied by other bedbugs) it leaves a trail of insecticide, and contaminate their nests and pathways. Other bedbugs who walk these same paths or live in the same areas will touch the insecticide and be killed too.Note that even if all bedbugs are eliminated, their eggs may still be present and these eggs can hatch and start another infestation. Apply bedlam again to the same areas in three weeks or so to kill off any new generations. It usually will require three to five treatments to get rid of all the bedbugs. Remember, bedbugs like to hide in tiny places during the day, so apply the Diatomaceous earth or bedlam to these areas first. Also remember that the closer you are to a place where a food source is (human being) the more likely you are to find bedbugs. So at 3 feet from the bed you might have a lot, at 6 feet a lot less, and so forth as distance gets further away. Bedbugs can smell people or blood and will move towards them -- their next meal. They may attach to clothing and move away from their blood supply, but usually will fall to the ground and try to work their way back to a blood source again.

READ THIS FIRST if you have Bed Bugs. It is from the National Center for Healthy Housing's document on What's Working for Bed Bug Control in Mutifamily Housing, it details every possible tip or trick that people use to get rid of bed bugs and peer reviews each method, it's the most comprehensive source I could find and took many hours of research before I came across it::http://www.nchh.org/Portals/0/Contents/NCHH_Bed_Bug_Control_2-12-10.pdfIf you don't want to click on a PDF, go here and scroll to the bottom:http://www.nchh.org/Program/HealthyHomesTrainingCenter/IntegratedPestManagement.aspxI moved into a place, luckily with hardwood floors, but unknown to me, there was already a presence living there. I started getting what looked like flea bites on my shin. I figured the place had fleas because the other tenants in this house split in two had dogs and the construction is a bit shoddy. It eventually stopped after a few days... so I thought no big deal. Then one day I saw a little tiny red thing running around my leg. I thought it was a red spider mite and didn't think much about it. A few days later, I saw a blood stain on my bedsheet. I thought What the HELL? I looked over my body and couldn't find a scratch? A few days later I woke up to find this bug on my arm running back and fourth panicking because I had just woken up. I squashed it and it oozed blood. So I freaked out. A few days later, I found one under my comforter in a fold where it probably crawled to hide but didn't get back "home". I identified it... IT WAS A FREAKING BED BUG!So, in a panic, I researched. For hours. Seeing how they've developed a resistance to just about everything with most sites saying, if you got them, you may never get rid of them. I was horrified. So I bought a can of regular Bedlam and a can of Bedlam Plus... one has some different ingredients, so I wanted to make sure to nuke them. I also bought Diatomaceous Earth, which as a fine powder, acts like sandpaper in insect's joints causing scarring which leads them to dehydrate. So I sprayed my mattress cover and bedframe until they were foamy soaky. I sprayed around the floor where my bed was and along the cracks in the walls where they had to be hiding. Then I filled every ledge of baseboard, every ledge of my bedframe and every nook and cranny with diatomaceous earth. Over the next few days, I found a few bedbugs slowly crawling around the area dying. GREAT! So I waited about another 10 days and redid the whole thing. Sprayed everywhere, powdered everywhere.So if you have a bug infestation of any kind in an area where it's really, really important that you get rid of them, don't screw around with RAID or any other OTC consumer product, your best bet is to get a can or two of this stuff (make sure you buy a little extra in case the first application doesn't completely solve your problem). For bugs that are DDT resistant and can survive a holocaust, you don't want to mess around. Grab some Diatomaceous Earth and some of this stuff, and you can't go wrong.

It works better then other bed bug sprays

I did not have to leave the room for hours after using it. And you dont need to pay a professional thousands of Dallas to do the same thing.

I've been a property manager in low income housing for more that 15 years. I would estimate that about 75% of the units I have inspected had bedbugs. I spray this on the bottom of my shoes and pant cuffs before I go into any apartment. I have never taken a single bedbug home with me.I've seen bedbug infestation so bad those cursed little creatures are spreading into the hallways. A quick spray or two in the halls and affected areas in the apartment and bedbugs are dead on contact. Of course, a proffesional extermination company was called in later, but for the immediate residents felt better that you were taking their problem seriously.Get this product if you think you are going anywhere that you may come in contact with bedbugs. One note, if you have pets take your shoes off before entering your home. The product will make your pet either very sick or die if it were to lick on your shoes. You should be okay if you spray the product in the morning and get home in the evening. Bedlam should have dried, but you don't want to risk it.

Not sure if it worked that great but it sure did spray funny with/without nozzle
