Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

To all the people who said this stuff doesn't work, just let me say this: You aren't combating bed bugs properly. You can't just spray something and expect the problem to go away. These aren't wasps you're dealing with. They are insidious little critters who hide anyplace where there's a crack. We called Orkin to our place twice, and still had the problem. So we did our homework and read exactly how to conquer the problem. Fortunately, bed bugs never made it to the 2nd floor of our home, and it can only be because my retired husband vacuumed up cat litter and fur 6 or more times a day. To rid your home of these tiny terrors, you have to work and work HARD. But it'll be worth the effort. This is what you have to do: First, put all pillows, bedding, clothes, anything made of fabric, in the dryer for 45 min. and then store in a safe place in your home where there aren't any bed bugs. Or put in plastic garbage bags and then seal the bag with duct tape where you tied it closed. Then invest in a steamer that heats to at least 150 degrees - 200 is best. Regular carpet steamers don't do the trick because bed bugs can withstand up to 118 degree heat. Steam everything (cover outlets with plastic and tape around them so they don't get wet), and I mean EVERY DAMN THING. All the floors, window frames, baseboards, baseboard radiators (this probably doesn't need to be said, but DON'T steam electric baseboard heaters), door frames, wood or upholstered furniture (although you really should have gotten rid of that infested bed, couch, or chair and suffered until you can buy another one). Steam everything, then steam it again. Vacuum every single day, all the floors and upholstered furniture too. Be sure to empty the vacuum canister right away to prevent bugs from escaping back into your home. Take the canister outside and empty into a small plastic garbage bag and tie it closed. If it is a vacuum bag, toss it out. I know vacuum bags are expensive, but the cost is worth it. Do not think bed bugs cannot escape a vacuum. They can. Mop the floors with Pine Sol - it helps kill the bugs. If you'd bed is infested, get rid of it or buy a mattress cover made just for bed bugs. Seal the mattress and box spring and leave them covered for AT LEAST a year and a half. Books can also harbor bed bugs. Toss out the ones you aren't really going to read again and seal the books you wish to keep in plastic garbage bags and tape closed. Keep in there for one and a half to 2 yrs. After you have done all this, spray all the floors, furniture, etc., with Eco Raider. Then spray again a week later. This is what we did, and a month ago the Orkin man did a thorough inspection and pronounced our home clean of bed bugs. It's been 5 weeks since I received a bed bug bite, and next week the new couch will arrive. You can get rid of the problem, but only if you are willing to do the work. And buy Eco Raider. Our Orkin man never heard of the stuff, so we showed him the bottle and after reading the ingredients he said, "Yep, that'll kill 'em." And it does, but not alone. Follow my advice and you'll be bug-free in a couple of weeks instead of months.
