Creating A Bed Bug Spray

Have you experienced being bitten by the insects you can´t see in your bed? This morning I woke up being bitten by invisible insects while asleep. I kept on scratching until I was feed up. I got up and pulled the beddings and put them in the laundry basket for washing. I was thinking of putting the mattress under the heat of the sun today but the sun did not show up. It was cloudy. It is still cloudy. I couldn´t do what I have planned to do with my mattress and so I googled how to get rid of the bed bugs from my bed. I don´t like to use chemicals and so I was googling something organic and found out some recipes to make the bed bug spray. Gladfully, I have brought 100% lavender, pepermint, eucalyptus, tea tree oil and red orange essential oils from Germany. I brought these essential oils for mixing my aromatheraphy massage oil. Now, I will use them too for fighting against bed bugs. After googling the recipes, I made my own bed bugs spray and I hope it will function. I put cooked water in an empty but clean perfumed spray that I had. I added 30 drops of lavender, red orange and tea tree essential oils in the spray (10 drops each). Shaked the spray well and sprayed on my bed mattress and anywhere where I thought the bed bugs were hiding. I will let you know how it goes. Have you made your own bed bugs spray? What was in your spray? Did it function? Copyright 2016, All Rights Reserved by thelme55

@positivesoul it helped very well. Maybe because of too much essential oil. So smelly for the critters but not for me.

Not in my bed but in an old antique wood sofa with rattan weavings, i kept getting rashes whenever i sit on that particular spot, i killed them with kerosene dropped only on the specific hole using a syringe. Never tried making my own concoction cause we never had a problem again.

That sounds a good idea with the kerosene @louievill I might try that.

@thelme55 Those that we now have here bite even during the day, but they do not come inside. I have electric mosquitoes killers plugged in the house and I spray myself with a product when I go outside.

Bedbugs can be so hard to get rid of and you usually have to treat the area more than once. We have never had bedbugs but since my brother manages apartment complexes, he is always having to deal with this with his residents.

Yes, once treatment is not enough @simone10. I have to spray the bed often times. It really helps.

We used to keep the infested objected in day light or under fire and that worked. bed bugs didn't appeared after that.

Lucky you @MALUSE. I only have ths problem when I am in my Philippines home. My skin is so sensetive. What made me scratch didn´t bother my Filipino family. I am the only one who got bitten by those critters.
