Why You Shouldn’t Try DIY Bed Bug Treatments

Why You Shouldn’t Try DIY Bed Bug Treatments?

You’ve found a few bites. Maybe even a bug. Before you run to the hardware store for sprays or home remedies, read this first. DIY bed bug treatments often cause more harm than good.

1. Why DIY Bed Bug Treatments Fail

Most over-the-counter sprays:

• Only partially kill on direct contact

• Miss anything hidden (thats what Bed Bugs do! They Hide!)

• Are repellent-based, causing bugs to scatter deeper into your home's many crevasses.

• Have no effect at all on Bed Bug Eggs.

Natural remedies like essential oils or baking soda?

• Have no proven effect on bed bug colonies

• Can give a false sense of security

• Create resistance and new evasif tactics from Bed Bugs

The result? Bugs survive, spread to new rooms, and become harder to eliminate.

2. The Hidden Cost of Waiting

Delays from failed DIY attempts allow infestations to:

• Multiply rapidly (bed bugs lay 1–5 eggs per day)

• Expand beyond bedrooms to couches, baseboards, and even cars

• Trigger psychological stress, insomnia, and skin infections

• Contaminate every thing they touch with harmful bacteria

A small problem can turn into thousands of bugs Bedbugs in less than a month.

3. Why Professional Inspection Matters

We know how to:

• Identify infestation hot zones

• Locate eggs, nymphs, and fecal traces hidden from plain sight

• Use a variety of non-repellent formulations in combinations that GUARANTEE total bed bugs extermination.

• We kill Bedbugs AND their Eggs in 1 treatment.

At Accord Extermination, our technicians:

• Conduct full-home inspections

• Treat affected and at-risk zones together

• Use detection monitors to make sure not a single Bed Bug survived

4. Don’t Chase the Bugs. Eliminate Them.

DIY sprays can’t kill Bedbug Eggs and what’s crawling inside the walls. Every failed attempt pushes bed bugs deeper and wider.

If you suspect a bed bug issue - don’t wait - is our advice. The first question we ask is: How long ago did you first get bitten? The time laps between the first bite and your call gives us an exact portrait of the situation. It's a numbers game unfortunately, and time is exponential the multiplier!
