Over the course of our blogs, we've talked about many of the scientific aspects of our bed bug sprays and traps. We've also discussed some of the many reasons you don't want to wait to find a bed bug solution because doing so means you'll have to deal with more bed bugs in the future. We've also given you some great advice on keeping bed bugs out of your home in the first place.

As you can see, we've thrown a lot of facts and suggestions at you, but that's all coming from us. Sure, we offer the best bed bug elimination option, but it's our blog...we can say anything we want! That's why looking at a third-party review website is an excellent idea to find out what customers say about our bed bug control techniques. Today, we will look at reviews from Top Rated Local and respond to them. Are our bed bug sprays working? Why have people turned to our solutions to eliminate bed bugs? Let's see what Anna H. has to say.

"Our experience with fighting bedbugs was none in the beginning. We have 7 cats in the house, so we thought it was a flea problem! When we realized it was bed bugs, we knew we needed something safe for our cats. We didn't have a lot of money, so calling an exterminator was not an option. So we purchased the dusting powder and spray from bedbugstore.com and started treating our home. We also bought bags for all our mattresses and enclosed them after treating them. We treated our house every 2 weeks for up to a year until we saw no more bugs."

— Anna H.

Thanks for writing in, Anna. You've briefly touched on many different subjects, so let's break it down.

First, you mentioned that you hadn't known you had bed bugs for a while. This is the case for many people because any insect infestation grows over time. People have been oblivious to termites for years; bee swarms can live in the walls undetected, ants can be unseen one day, and the entire pantry is full of them the next day. So, mistaking bed bug bites for flea bites is very understandable, especially since you have seven cats.

Of course, once you realized it wasn't a cat problem, you had to ensure the solution wouldn't bother your furry friends. That's one of the aspects of our bed bug spray that we're most proud of. It's an all-natural, plant-based bed bug repellent (and bed bug killer) safe for humans and animals because you don't want the cure to be worse than the disease.

Third, you talk about having little money. We understand, and that's why we do what we can to make our bed bug treatments as affordable as possible. Exterminators usually charge between $300 and $3,000 to remove bed bugs, often using harsh chemicals. We also know those heat treatments tend to work well, but they're even more expensive than a traditional exterminator. At bedbugstore.com, you can get the spray and insect control dust (diatomaceous earth) for under $80, which certainly beats your spending on an exterminator. You can even get our huge super pack of bed bug killing solutions for just $199, which is still about a third the cost of an exterminator...plus you get to keep the steamer!

Next, talk about your purchase of the spray and the dust. These two items go together really well because one attacks them chemically (the bed bug spray) and the other attacks them physically (the bed bug dust, which gets on their exoskeleton and mortally dehydrates them). It's a great one-two punch that works well for many customers. The mattress covers were an excellent addition, as they'll trap any bed bugs that might have escaped the spray until they starve to death, severely limiting the number of places the bed bugs outside the covers can hide. For under a hundred bucks, you walloped them.

Finally, you mentioned that you kept treating your bed bug problem until the issue was gone. No bed bug treatment is immediate (heat treatments are the closest thing, but they cost $2,000 - $4,000). Any pesticide is going to take time and take multiple applications. While it takes less time than you mentioned, we're glad you continued. You have to ask yourself, Would you rather spend a bit of money with an easy do-it-yourself remedy for bed bugs or have an exterminator come back multiple times to spray harmful chemicals in your bedroom? The answer is obvious.

Whew, all that from a single customer response! Anna certainly brought up many great points, so we're delighted she wrote in (and gave us 5/5 stars!) We'll respond to more customer reviews in the future, but if Anna has convinced you that our bed bug eradication products are the way to go, start shopping here!
