Bedlam will kill within a matter of minutes depending on which aged bed bug comes in contact with the treated area. In order to eradicate the bed bugs from the unit and prevent them from coming in from other units you want to treat the wall voids as well. You can use something such as Delta dust to dust inside wall voids such as outlets and light switches. Also, it does take time and persistence to fully eradicate bed bugs. If you have further questions please call us at toll free 866-581-7378.
We recommend that you vacuum every couple of days. You can apply DE to wall voids, electrical outlets, light switch plates and other areas where you do not want to treat with a liquid (around electrical wiring etc). You can mix Gentrol IGR and FenvaStar EcoCap together with water and apply to the baseboards and other listed areas on the product label. Bedlam can be applied the cracks and crevices of baseboards, headboards, footboards, hard surface furniture, behind picture frames and wall hangings, seams of the mattress, etc. We do recommend that you spray upholstered furniture with SteriFab.

Treatment using Bedlam should be directed to the cracks and crevices around the room and of the flooring instead of all over. Please see our Flea Treatment Guide for more tips and information about treating for this pest.

If you had trouble using Steri-Fab, then we would recommend switching to a water-base product (Steri-Fab has an alcohol base). A popular choice would be Bedlam Aerosol, which also comes with a crack and crevice straw for easy spot and joint applications. Bedlam is generally safe on most surfaces, however we would still recommend testing a small area if the furniture has shown sensitivity to other sprays.

Bedlam Aerosol is labeled to treat carpet beetles and clothes moths as a crack and crevice treatment. Although it is water-based, we cannot recommend using it directly on taxidermied items. D-Force is a different aerosol product which is frequently used as a crack and crevice spray for cloth mothes and hide beetles. We do also sell a variety of Clothes Moth Traps and Beetle Traps, but be sure to select a trap appropriate for the pest you are treating.
