Eco DefenseBed Bug Killer - Bed Bug Spray & Dust Mite Spray - Natural Treatment - 16 oz

My bed bug story:I woke up, decided to clean my sheets, on my mattress encasement (thankfully I bought one when I first bought the mattress, always take care of your valuables and be preemptive), where my head rests when I'm sleeping, there were a ton of bed bugs and some other kind of bugs.I opened my window that week for a few days since the weather was super nice. The window sill had garnered a lot of "stuff." I wasn't sure what it was. Decided to wipe down the entire window sill. Some wind came in a couple of times, blew some of it inside, some on my bed. Didn't think much of it. Just wiped it off my bed and kept wiping the window. There is also a small gap between the window screen and the bottom of it where bugs can walk through.That's my educated guess on how all that happened. It's the only thing I did differently that week. I wash my sheets once every week, at worst, I'll miss a week but that's not common.After killing all the bugs on my bed with some cotton pads (I didn't want the blood on my encasement, obviously) and immediately putting all my sheets and comforter in the washing machine under hot water, I checked around my bed and noticed in one part of my room, next to my bed, where the carpet meets the wall, was infested with bed bugs.I grabbed a knife and for the most part, on it's side, I just smeared all the bed bugs. It was pretty bloody. Not fun, but very productive and very thorough. Threw the knife away. Not going to use that again. Then I doused my carpet with carpet cleaner (just the kind that makes your room smell nice), let it sit for a few minutes and started vacuum cleaning. I waited a few hours before bringing my sheets and comforter and pillow (I also had a pillow encasement on, thankfully, because that also had it's fair share of bugs on it too), back up from the dryer because I knew that any bed bugs left would come creeping up on the walls, and they did. So I killed those also. Then I put my bed back together. I also washed the mattress encasement.That's the first part of my story. The second part is what I did to prevent it from happening again. I'll make this one brief and bullet pointed.- I ordered a bed frame to get my bed off of the floor and give them less of a chance to reach my bed and create a breeding ground for them.- With the bed frame I ordered "bed bug interceptors." You put them underneath the stands of your frame and it traps any bed bugs trying to get to your bed. Very affordable and effective.- I checked in places that bed bugs would hide. For me this meant my dry erase board and surely enough, there were a few. My room also has ledges all throughout the room in the middle like a stripe. It looked like one of them built a nice little spot for itself. I really don't have too much on my walls. For most people this will mean picture frames, posters, wall shelves.- I checked all my wooden furniture. This is my dresser, desk, table, and small dresser, and got them all cleaned and wiped down.- I also moved every piece of furniture I have in my room 2-5 inches away from the walls.- I ordered outlet covers because apparently bed bugs can hide in the outlets when it's dangerous for them and when it's safe come back out.I believe that is everything I did leading up to this spray.Spray review:I really like it. It does have a smell but it's a nice pleasant smell, floral like. It shoots out in a line versus spray, which I also like because it made it significantly easier to spray all parts of the room where the carpet meets the wall, including in my closest. The main thing I like about is how nontoxic it is to people. All it says under precautions is that if it gets on your hands to just wash them. Most "cleaning" products will have a long list of warnings and precautions, not this one. It even tells you directly on the bottle you can spray your entire bed, sheets, and even clothing, not to soaked but just damp.As for the size of the bottle, one bottle per infested room. It's recommended you do this once every seven days just for two weeks, which is just enough per bottle, and keep doing it if you want to make sure and just be safe.My bed bug issue is gone at the moment and it's thanks to everything that I did. The bed bug spray isn't meant to be a miracle cure for your bed bug problems. You also have to do numerous other things. As you accumulate preventive measures, you'll see less and less until there isn't anymore.

Okay, okay I'll be the first one to admit that I completely "freak out" if there's anything moving, crawling or creeping around me but ME!! I'm a very neat and clean person for that reason my motto is "if you don't pay rent here then you cannot live here"- period! My encounter began when I was visiting a neighbor who by the way is well advanced in age (80) but meticulously clean. Nonetheless, her grandson brought these miniature "stowaways" with him when he came to visit around Christmas. All unbeknown to me of course until I found out later that her house had been over run with Bed Bugs! Geez!! I was livid!You see, these bloodsucking "hijackers" had invaded my house without me having a clue. Although, my poor wife had been complaining that something was biting her and that she was breaking out on her arms. I almost cried when I realized that she had been right all along and that I hadn't taken her complaints seriously enough. I'm sorry baby I'll never do that again.To my (our) horror the Bed Bugs had infiltrated our brand new Stearns & Foster $2,000 dollar queen mattress set. Lord help me! So, I ran out and bought that expensive "Hot mess" in the "purple" can that rhymes with whatnot! Because, it is NOT! Anyway, I sprayed that mess until it almost killed me inhaling all those chemical and diffusers. What the...cough..cough "f!" I even sprayed this so-called Bed Bug Killer directly on the Bed Bugs and they just kept on crawling!! I could say I was cursing like a sailor but that would be too insulting to sailors!Now, I was in panic mode so I began looking for any information about how to rid myself of this infestation? I Googled this website, and Binged another website, and Yahoo..my "f'n" head off! I searched it seemed like everywhere and nowhere could I find any practical information or help until I searched Amazon! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise God!First of all, I want to thank every Amazon shopper who shares their expertise, their product reviews, and their results with us. Praise Jesus! So, I began to read, and I read, and I read, and I continued to read until I came across the feedback about this product. Yes, I was desperate, I was angry, and I was confused! But, low and behold I remember one reviewer said that she purchased this product and she that was upper respiratory sensitive like me. But, "to cut to the chase" was when she said that when she sprayed it on the Bed Bugs they died INSTANTLY!!! When she said that, WAS SOLD!!So, I immediately ordered (1) bottle express delivery! It was scheduled to arrived within two days however I was still freaking out! Two days was still too long for me because I had used bleach, alcohol, and all the "BS" home remedies that people uploaded on YouTube. Oh, yea a bunch of useless hogwash. But, I was in a jam, I was in a dilemma, and I was feeling boxed in! So, I got back online to Amazon looking for comfort and read some more about the results of this product and the testimony of others who used it. After reading a few more reviews I calculated that I would probably need at least two bottles so I ordered (4) more bottles! Hell, I figured if nothing else I'd go into the exterminator business and rid my neighbors Bed Bugs too! Especially, if she'd be willing to cover the cost of the additional product since that's how I got in this mess in the first place.Happily, I want you all to know that in my humble opinion Eco Defense Bed Bug Killers is one of the "best solutions" since sliced bread!So, buy this product at $20 plus shipping cost and try it! You'll know as I know that it works just as advertised. Most important, you'll save yourself all that unnecessary frustration when you realize that you don't have to throw out your new bed. So, don't you be gone! "Bed Bugs be gone!"Pro's:1. Best Bed Bug killer on the market.2. Environmentally friendly.3. One bottle= one treatment.4. Low cost.5. Pet friendly kid safe.Con's:1. Puts Exterminators out of work.

Too soon to tell if product actually works. The spray nozzle stem was a little longer than the bottle, but an easy fix, just cut 2 inches off. I did notice it had a stream spray or fan spray. In the fan spray function, spraying upright it would fan but pointing toward the ground you got the stream spray. No need in turning nozzle. The smell is easy on the nose, not too harsh.
