Why You Shouldn't Rely On DIY Bed Bug Sprays

Alana Korol

February 24, 2017

As leaders in the natural bed bug killer industry, the Bed Bug Patrol team has heard just about every DIY remedy under the sun. In fact, these DIY bed bug sprays and treatments were part of the reason we decided to get into the natural bed bug killer game in the first place.


Our founders were completely frustrated by the available options for dealing with bed bugs. On one hand, there were professional pest control companies who wanted to charge an arm and a leg to provide bed bug treatments at homes and businesses. On the other hand, there are DIY “experts” on the internet who claim to be able to eradicate bed bugs with nothing but a spray bottle and some ingredients from their pantry. 


We knew there HAD to be a better way. When we didn’t find what we were looking for, we decided to make it ourselves, and our natural bed bug killing spray was born.

Today, we constantly get questions from people who have visited our Bed Bug Store looking for a way to get relief from their bed bug infestation. These people take a look at our natural bed bug killer and want to know why they should choose it over the DIY remedies they can make themselves for a fraction of the cost.


Well, we’ve put together some answers for you! Keeping reading to see why our bed bug spray is a better choice than costly exterminators or recipes from DIY gurus.


Reasons To Avoid DIY Bed Bug Sprays


  • They’re Slow - If you were dealing with a bed bug infestation in your home or place of business, how long would you be willing to wait for an insecticide to work. A day? A week? A month?! If you’re like most of our customers, you want your bed bug spray to get rid of bed bugs IMMEDIATELY! The problem with DIY bed bug killers is that although they may be natural, they’re very slow. Our bed bug spray, however, works within the first 24 hours and often works ON CONTACT!


  • They’re Untested - You have a busy life. You don’t have time to spend tweaking different DIY bed bug spray formulas. When you go the homemade route, you may have to mix up five different batches before you find something that works. In the meantime, bed bugs have been having a field day in your mattress and furniture, laying their eggs all over the place! Our all-natural bed bug spray formula has been carefully tested over many years, allowing us to back up its effectiveness with a 90-day money-back guarantee!


  • They Could Be Dangerous - Many recipes for DIY bed bug spray utilize ingredients like rubbing alcohol, essential oils, mothballs, and other substances that could be very hazardous if ingested by a young child or pet. Are you willing to put your entire family at risk just because you want to trust DIY bed bug killers? We think it’s a must better idea to trust the tested formula of our highly-powerful bed bug sprays and preventative treatments.


  • They Don’t Work! - Above all else, this is why we recommend sticking with the time-tested bed bug sprays offered here at the Bed Bug Store. Many of the DIY bed bug treatment recipes available on the internet sound good, but they just don’t have what it takes. Our blend of all-natural ingredients has been specially formulated to be safe, effective, and pleasant to smell!


When It Comes To Bed Bug Killers, You Can't Afford DIY Solutions


We may be biased, but here at the Bed Bug Patrol store, we believe you have better things to do than mix up batches of DIY bed bug killers that probably won’t work.


Doing so only drains your time, money, and energy when you could be using all three on things that are much more fun! The idea that inspired every single one of our bed bug killer products--from travel sprays to bed bug dust to premium mattress covers--is that you shouldn’t have to worry about bed bugs for one second longer than is absolutely necessary.

What are people saying about Bed Bug Patrol?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★


"I had a chance to use this a couple of days ago. I had been sick and had not kept up on my spraying every couple of days to keep them away. I previously used a different brand. When I check, there they were again! I used this and after 3 days they are still gone! It works, smells good, and the pump actually works (it doesn't on other ones I've bought). The booklet they included with the purchase was very informative and helpful as well. I highly recommend this product."

“I was really surprised!! There really is NO CHEMICAL smell and when using this product along with mattress covers the problem seems to be taken care of. I never felt as though there were harmful chemicals...it actually smells good! I have already suggested this product to others."


- Monique M.

“Naturally I freaked out when I found bed bugs. I called two exterminators, received estimates of $1,700-$2,650 which I would have paid until I started researching other methods and saw the reviews on this product. Vacuumed thoroughly, sprayed as directed, encased box spring and mattress. Repeated vacuum and spray a week later. So far so good!!"


- Debra C.

“This stuff works great for various types of insects, especially bugs, kills them quick! It has an overwhelming peppermint smell, which is great compared to any other type of poison. Has not affected my animals at all. Great product!!"
