Harris Toughest Bed Bug Powder, 4oz

It seems to help quite a bit in fighting these evil blood sucking beasties from hell! It can't do all the work by itself because these things are ridiculously hard to murder but it really does help control and kill a large portion of them. Remember that it takes a few days to for the powder to work. It is not instantaneous. It is a great tool to use for longterm control while using a more immediate method of extermination. I used this brand of powder and Cimexa(which is very similar). I sprayed first around the edges of my baseboards both on top and bottom with Temprid fx (with Gentrol added in.Gentrol is suppose to help cut down the bed bug population by making it so their young can't reproduce,however its doubtful you will be able to get every BB so thats why you need to apply more than once) I also sprayed ceiling corners . The spraying has to be repeated more than once because of the life cycle because nothing will truly 100% kill all the eggs, but it really works. If you keep repeating every week then you can kill all the adults and nymphs and there will be no more eggs laid. I am about to do my 3rd treatment of the house even though I haven't seen any alive or haven't seen evidence of any bites just to make sure. I will probably do this for awhile so I have peace of mind that the b@st@rds are gone and then transition to once a month...then every 6 wks and so on. Also a quality steamer like the SKG steam mop helped me sooo much in the fight against these things! I went along the edges of my place more than once with an attachment before spraying with the pesticide! It has to be a real hot steamer that gets over 140° because that can kill the bugs and the eggs.A regular clothes steamer WON'T do the trick. The SKG one I have gets to 212° ! It was very satisfying to get them in their hideouts. So remember :1.If you can,steam! 2.Spray a good insecticide,not crap from walmart or home depot. It doesn't work...trust me :( RESEARCH! 3.Wait for insecticide to dry and then apply this powder for extra knockout power and long lasting control. Washing your bedding and clothes and drying them 20 mins past when they are dry (on the hottest setting your dryer gets) and keeping them in plastic bags or weather proof totes will help you as well! Its a real process and hardwork to get rid of them but if you can do these steps I think you will be all right! Good luck!

My kryptonite is bedbugs. My son brought them to my house from my ex-husband's. When I found them, my first thoughts were where are the matches and gasoline? I spent a couple days freaking out calling every exterminator I could get my hands on. Unfortunately, none would be able to come out that week. So, after A LOT of research, I took it upon myself to get rid of them.After removing the offending mattress from my house, I sprayed their bunk bed down with Harris bed bug killer. When I started to take the slats off, I noticed movement. I immediately sprayed the bugs and killed them. Instead of removing more slats and having bed bugs dropping all over the floor, I cut the bunk bed in quarters with a circular saw, wrapped the quarters up, and threw them all out. I then went after the bedroom with a vacuum. I sprayed Harris BedBug killer on all baseboards, up the wall a quarter of the way, and on the carpet. I went after every room in the house vacuuming and spraying every baseboard and up the wall. I removed all material, including curtains and stuffed animals, and washed and dried them at the local laundromat. I then heat treated my house and brought it all up to 150 degrees for 8 hours. I put bedbug encasements on any remaining mattresses and box springs in my house.After putting my house back together, I used this stuff to put around the baseboards and around the legs of every bed. Getting the brush inside the bottle was a bit of a pain, so I grabbed a tupperware bowl and dumped some in the bowl. I then dipped the brush in the bowl and spread the powder around all baseboards, including the closets, and around the legs of every bed. I also used Harris 5 minute killer spray on my couches. I have constantly checked traps and beds for any signs of any bedbugs and have found nothing. I don't know if it is this stuff or a combination of everything I have done, but I have not seen a bedbug in my house since. I have also noticed no more ants in my house, which I was having a little problem with. I would definitely recommend this stuff in your process of getting rid of the nasty little vermin.

My daughter stayed at a friend's and came home with a crap ton of bites. I'm not sure if she brought anything home but I am treating just in case! My uncle recommended harris brand. Also, ordered a steamer as well he manages hotel. Please pray my daughter didn't bring any bugs home and that I totally washed my money. I really REALLY don't want bed bugs! Also. Make sure yall are switching active ingredients for pesticides as all insects will become immune to the same pesticide being used over and over. I got this powder since my house is old with lots of cracks. Please pray we don't my daughter didn't bring any bed bugs home.
