    Q
    Why am I sill seeing bedbugs om my sheets/
    I purchased the bedlam spray and the sterifab, also the boxspring and mattress encasements. Last night I saw two bedbugs on my sheets. Aren't the encasements suppose to keep the off of my bed?
    A

    Encasements do not keep bedbugs from crawling onto your bed. They keep the bedbugs from infesting your mattress and boxspring and the encasements make it easier to inspect your bed for signs of bedbugs. You should move your bed away from the walls if at all possible and make sure you are treating all of the cracks and crevices in your room every 7-10 days until you do not see signs of bedbugs for at 30 days. We have linked our Bedbug Guide below and also our Inspection Guide so you can see what is needed to get rid of bedbugs.

    Q
    Why do I see bed bugs the next day when I spray Bedlam?
    I took stuff out of a room, except dressers and table. I spray all around and on table and dresser. Next day, bed bugs are crawling on them as if I did not spray. How does this Bedlam spray work??? When I spray, I don't really see no different. Day time I don't see very many at all, but at night time they are out. So how does the spray work, when does it kill, and how long does it take to take effect. The can does not specifically this.
    A
    Bedlam can take up to 24 hours to kill a bedbug that contacts treated surfaces and receives a lethal dose of the insecticide. You need to be very thorough and be sure to treat every crack, crevice, tuft, fold seam, gap and void in the infested room. We strongly recommend using more than one type of product as well. It is industry standard that in addition to an aerosol product such as Bedlam to use an insecticide dust such as Evergreen Dust to treat areas that are more or less inaccessible on a day to day such as cracks or crevices on box-springs, under and behind furniture, wall voids, under baseboards and under the lip of the carpet.  Bedlam can be used on the mattress, bed-frames, headboard, foot-board and any other piece of furniture that may be harboring bedbugs. Please take a few minutes to read over the Bedbug Treatment guide so that you may better understand what is needed to eliminate bedbugs in your home.

    Q
    Why vacuum often when you say bedbugs aren't in carpet?
    A
    When we say vaccum often, we mean floors, mattresses, baseboards, etc. This will help to bring the bed bugs up to come in contact with insecticide. After vaccuming, be sure to discard of contents outdoors.

    07/03/2011
    Q
    Does Bedlam actually kill dust mites?
    I've been told nothing in the US will kill them and that everything will only remove allergens. Does this product actually kill the dust mites themselves? If so, is it safe to use in a bedroom where a baby or pregnant woman sleeps?
    A

    Bedlam will kill just about any insect that is sprayed with the product. Bedlam is safe to apply in a room used by infants and pregnant women when the product label is followed. We also recommend that you use Protecta Bed mattress, boxspring and pillow encasements to eliminate dust mite issues.

    Q
    What precautions should I take with pets with Bedlam?
    I need to treat a bedroom for bedbugs and my cat like to get into that room,what precautions should I take as regards her safety?
    A
    Bedlam is a very safe product when used as directed.  As with any product on our site, we always recommend that you keep your pet out of the room while you are treating. After the treatment is done, wait a few hours for the product to dry.  After that time, it is perfectly safe to let the pets back in the room.

    Q
    Can you spray Bedlam Insecticide on your skin to stop bites during the night?
    A
    Absolutely not.  Bedlam is not labeled to be sprayed on your skin, nor is any professional pest control product that we sell.  You should take measures to decrease bed bugs from getting on your bed in the first place by using Bed Bug Encasements for your mattress and box spring and Climbup Insect Interceptors for the feet of your bed.

    You do need to necessarily need to leave the home after treatment.  It is recommended that pets, children and anyone not doing the treatment be out of the treatment area until the product dries which is usually about 30 minutes to an hour.

  • Asked by Matt from Va
    05/05/2015
    Q
    Can or should this be used in combination with diatomaceous earth?
    I am about to begin treating my room for bed bugs that just began to show up. I bought a mattress cover and some d-earth before finding your products. I'm planning on encasing my mattress and dusting the edges of the mattress and the bed frame with d-earth, and then following up with the Bedlam.
    A
    You may use Bedlam Insecticide Spray and Diatomaceous Earth in conjunction with each other to treat for bed bugs. However, it would be counter productive to spray Bedlam Insecticide Spray on the same areas that have already been treated with Diatomaceous Earth. This is because Diatomaceous Earth must remain dry in order to be effective. We would recommend treating the mattress with Bedlam Insecticide Spray instead of the Diatomaceous Earth because the Diatomaceous Earth may go airborn and won't stay in place as well as the Bedlam Insecticide Spray. Diatomaceous Earth is best suited for areas that will be left undisturbed.

  • Asked by Mom from Lincoln Ne
    12/06/2013
    Q
    Is Bedlam Spray what i should use for treating bagged and packed items?
    My exterminator says to pack up books, pictures, knick knacks, etc, and spray this inside the tote. How long do I leave it contained to be safe I've killed everything inside?
    A
    The Bedlam insecticide spray would not actually be the best option for these items. If you are planning to enclose items like pictures and knick knacks in a storage tote or trash bag for treatment, you need to use the Nuvann Pro Strips. Each strip releases a vapor that builds up and fills the tote to kill anything within any crevice of the items inside it. Each container once sealed with the strip inside, needs to stay closed for 2 weeks. After that time fram you can remove all belongings and know they have been treated and the insects have been eliminated. Bedlam is something used for edges of dresser drawers, cracks and crevices of rooms and sides of mattresses and couch and chair cushions. Just as water would likely damage a picture or book, bedlam would do the same if you sprayed it on these items. Just spraying around the items does not take care of the potential insects inside each item that might not come out of hiding after you put them in the tote. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Do you have to leave the house after spraying Bedlam Insecticide Aerosol?

  • Asked by Carolyn from Dallas, Texas
    07/05/2014
    Q
    Can Bedlam be sprayed on mattress encasements? If not, what?
    I've applied: Delta Dust in all cracks/crevices, screw holes, etc., on my headboard (I don't have foot board); FenvaStar/Gentrol mixture on metal bed frame; put Climb Ups under all legs; put Diatomaceous Earth around all baseboards. But I'm still getting bitten at night. Plus I wash/dry all bed linens on hot every day. HELP! What can I apply to the mattress encasements to kill the bedbugs and put sheet on bed and sleep there?
    A

    Yes, Bedlam Insecticide Spray can be sprayed on your mattress encasement. Delta Dust should only be used in the wall voids. Fenvastar EcoCap should only be used around the baseboards, cracks and crevices, around doors, corners, closets, cabinets, etc. For bed bug treatment only, it can be used around the inside of your bed frame. Diatomaceous Earth is a good product to be used along the carpets and baseboards. If you are seeing the bed bugs, we would recommend the contact killer Steri-Fab. Please also know that these treatments, except the dusts, need to be done more than one time so fully eradicate the bed bugs.

    The sheets need to be placed in the dryer for at least an hour because bed bugs will die in temperatures of 120F and higher. Also, a good practice would be to vacuum in each room and dump the bag every night.

    We would recommend reading this bed bug article. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Q
    What should I use to treat the carpet for dust mites?
    I have a son who has dust allergy. I have sorted his bed etc out so its just the carpet that is the only problem.
    A

    We recommend that you vacuum daily, steam treat once a week and apply BioDefense or Sterifab onn the surface. Bedlam should be applied around the cracks and crevices twice a month when your child is not present (room needs to be dry and properly ventilated prior to returning to areas treated). For more information on ways to treat, please check out our article on How to Get Rid of Dust Mites.
