Len, I’ve actually had experiences with Chlorine Dioxide. The problem is I’ve heard mixed results. Hopefully someone out there can get THE Definitive solution!

Chlorine Dioxide can also kill bed bugs and is currently being studied and developed for that purpose, among others. It leaves no harmful residue but the room/home/space must be vacant durring treatment. It needs to be applied as both a liquid form and gaseous form overnight to be truely effective.

michele – you must be one of the lucky people that doesn’t have a reaction to bed bug bites! I got bitten on holiday all down one side of my body and man were those bites itchy! It was worse than the chicken pox when I was a kid. No way that I could live with them.

I hate bed bug problems and I didn’t even know a bed bug spray existed. I think it would be awesome to get a hold of that. I need it.

Was doing some research on this myself. It looks as if there are no commercial products targeted towards bed bugs. Almost all the products i have seen are for Agricultral purposes. There are sprays and powers. I’m sure these would work but have no clue if they would cause other problems because they may have other ingredients for other purposes. Been dealing with this problem for a while. These things are hard to get rid of. Hoping someone will come out with a product using this soon. Oh and for the poster above, they may not cause any real harm, when a child wakes up with bumps all over them what are you going to tell them. You really can’t tell them there are little bugs crawling over them at night biting them. So here’s hoping for a product soon.

OK, we now no that Beauveria bassiana is the answer, and that’s good. Where do you sell it, how do you use it? Is it on the market?

before using ton of insecticide in your home think that bedbugs are NOT connected to any disease. Yes, they eat your blood but a drop can feed hundreds, if not thousand, of them and you can lose one or two drops at all!!This fungus is safe for us? We don’t really know!Bedbugs can adapt to this fungus? Sure!
