Where do bed bugs mainly live?

Bed bugs are commonly found in places where people rest or sleep, and their presence can be detected in these areas. After a period of time, their habitat often accumulates a lot of exoskeletons, feces, and eggshells. Due to the secretion of the bed bug’s scent glands, there is often a foul odor in these areas.

  • Luggage, wallpaper, carpets, floor cracks, and empty walls;
  • Mattresses, bed frames, sheets, and pillowcase crevices;
  • All indoor furniture, drawers, or side crevices.

Is DE powder effective in killing bed bugs?

Yes, it is effective, but there are two important factors to consider.

Firstly, you need to have time, patience, and strong perseverance. Bed bugs have strong reproductive abilities and can hatch into adults in about 7 days. If you haven’t killed them all, they will continue to bite you. Therefore, bed bug eradication requires speed, severity, and accuracy.

Secondly, you need to have patience and time. You need to apply the powder at least every two to three days, continuously for six or more times. This means you need to endure for at least half a month, and even then, there is no guarantee that the bed bugs will be completely eradicated.

Is using fumigation bombs effective in killing bed bugs?

  • Using flea bombs to deal with bed bugs is completely wrong! It will only spread bed bugs to more corners. Please do not do this!
  • Releasing fumigation bombs can only kill some of the larvae and cannot completely eradicate them.
  • Due to the protection of the eggshell, the larvae inside the egg cannot be killed, so it cannot prevent the next generation from breeding. Moreover, it is easy to generate resistance, and they will quickly reappear.
