Bed Bug Killer Spray Buyer’s Guide
A bed bug infestation can be extremely stressful and can be very hard to get rid of. Killing bed bugs is rarely simple, and many bed bugs are now resistant to common insecticides.
Luckily, there’s a huge range of specially made bed bug sprays on the market to kill the bugs on contact and prevent another infestation. Not sure what to look for when it comes to the best bed bug spray? Take a look at this buyer’s guide.
Formula
Common insecticides rarely work on bed bugs, so a specially made spray is your best bet. Most bed bug sprays contain pyrethrin, which kills bed bugs on contact. For long lasting protection against bed bugs, residuals in your spray are ideal.
Most bed bug sprays are water based, which makes them safe to use on most furniture and mattresses. Most are not fragranced so they can be used in bedrooms.
Size
Bed bug sprays come in a range of sizes. While value for money is important, results are even more so. If you have a large bed bug infestation, look for a multipack of sprays, or a large bottle of solution.
Ease of Use
Bed bug sprays are generally very easy to use, although some infestations require multiple treatments at regular intervals. Remember that killing bed bugs isn’t as simple as killing normal insects, in most cases you’ll need to dismantle your furniture to get into all the nooks and crannies.

How to use bed bug spray?
Most bed bug sprays are used in a similar way, but you need to reach all areas of the room. To start, reduce clutter in the room and wash all personal items on a very hot wash. Remove your bedding and dismantle the bed frame, then scrub the infected area with a stiff brush. Vacuum the room extensively.
Spay your bed bug killer around and under the bed, as well inside cupboards, door frames and doors. Ensure that no areas or small crevices are missed. Leave the spray to dry for the recommended amount of time (normally around 3 hours). You may need to treat the area again a few weeks later.
