I have these buggers for 4ish months now and started spraying suspend sc and precor thinking fleas.....had an inspector say it is bed bugs but not an extreme case yet and i must have been keeping them down with my mix. He recommended Temprix and Gentrol. So far i have applied every 15 days so the last month but am still getting bit. I seam to be getting bit a little less severe than before but nothing to brag about. Can i spray both closer together? I know it is as of now considered safe but I want to treat only as much as is "safe" since im afraid what they will say 15 years from now. Can i use both every 10 days? Or maybe 7 days or is that being poison crazy? My bug guy said every 15 days but i am not sure if the residual will last that long for bed bugs. Please help any info is helpful. This is my first bed bug encounter. Thanks
The residual for both Temprid FX and Gentrol will last for weeks. For bed bug control, you can reapply Temprid FX at a rate of 8 mL per gal of water at 7-10 day intervals. Please see our Bed Bug Inspection Guide and Bed Bug Treatment Guide for more tips on identifying harborage areas and eliminating this pest.
