Bed Bug Kit #2 - Questions & Answers

If bedbugs have been found in the home you will want to follow our detailed Bed Bug Guide which will take you through each step necessary to completely eliminate the population. As you go through the guide linked below you will see the non chemical steps (such as washing and drying clothes and linens) as well as chemical steps including where and how to use each product. Our Bed Bug Kits are the best route to make sure you are using the best products on the market and without breaking the bank. Each kit is designed to treat a different size home or number of rooms, so you can choose the one best suited to the areas you have effected by the pest problem. The kits come with all the products need to do a complete treatment in all the places bed bugs can hide and enough product to complete roughly 4 repeat applications. Since every home and infestation is different you will want to do diligent and meticulous treatments with the products every 7-14 days until you can go 30 days in a row with no signs of live bed bugs and no new bites on the occupants of the home. If you have any questions regarding info you see in our guide or the products within the kits please let us know and we would be more than happy to assist you.

We recommend using a bedbug kit. The Bed Bug Kit #2 provides you with the professional products necessary to do a complete bed bug treatment in your home. This kit has just the right balance of products to treat at least two rooms completely, plus enough to do the several follow-up treatments that are crucial to success. Unlike other kits you may find, the Do My Own Pest Control kits contain the most effective products available based on the most current research. This kit contains 1 x 8 oz. bottle of Equil Lambda 9.7 CS concentrate (makes 20 gallons), 1 x 10oz. bottle of PyGanic Dust with Pyrethrins, 1 hand dusting tool, 2 x 17 oz. cans of Bedlam Bed Bug Spray, and 1 pint of Steri-Fab. It is very important that you take the time to educate yourself on all of the places bedbugs can hide and all of the labor that is involved in preparing a room for a bedbug treatment. Please take a few moments to read over our Bedbug Guide to get a general idea of what needs to be done. We also recommend that you encase all of your mattresses and boxsprings with Protecta Bed Encasements as mattresses and boxsprings can be very difficult to impossible to treat because of all of the seams, folds, cracks and crevices.

Bedbugs are not a pest that can be eliminated quickly, and it will take multiple treatments and time to kill all of them that may be in your home. We highly recommend you go back to your bedroom to sleep so that the bedbugs do not follow you and infest your couch as well. Bedbugs need a human present to be attracted to, so they come out of hiding and cross all the chemicals you have applied to be affected by them. The only thing in the home they are attracted to is us unfortunately. Your order of Bed Bug Kit #2 should have had a print out of our bedbug guide included in the box which goes over step by step instructions for the application of each chemical, the non chemical steps you need to be taking in addition to the chemical ones, and the overall outline of how long it should take and what to expect. If you did not receive it in your box, we highly encourage you to use this link to the Bed Bug Guide to read through it in detail to understand what will go on as you continue to treat every 7-10 days until you can go 30 days consecutively with no signs of live bedbugs and no new bites. 

The products included in our Bed Bug Kit #2 are pet safe if used as directed on the product labels. They should not be present during the application and while the products are wet. Once completely dry and properly ventilated, the cats and other pets can re-enter the treated areas. If you have any pets with any health concerns, we recommend that you first consult with your vet.
