Worked Great for Me.
I've waited a while to post this and will share my story if you want to listen. Short version, This appears to work. Skip to the bottom if you want to know our spray schedule, rad the long version for specifics. The longer version: we are that clean house that came across these little turds in my son's room. It has been a month long battle so far. Full disclosure, my son's room though is a typical boy's room. Stuff all over the place. we were noticing little welts on him for a few weeks before we finally saw one of these little demons from hell. We never thought for a second the bites were from bed bugs. Much like any rational parent when they find bed bugs in their son's room, we sealed the room and proceeded a night time purging. We threw out the mattress and box spring....the box spring had a little nest.....his wood head board that had a little nest had to go too. His dresser....gone...book cases...gone....we went on a cleaning out frenzy. Any clothes of his were bundled up and scalded in the washing machine and then fried in the dryer. Stuffed animals were baked in the dryer and then for good measure, froze in the chest freezer. I then found this product. great reviews, a study from Rutgers....why not. I did a ton of reading and one of the things not to do to prevent the spread of the little demons was remove everything.....whoops...already done.Most of his stuff was thrown out and anything we were contemplating being kept was either already through the dryer or in the freezer. the rest was in the garage. we sprayed down his room as directed. Side note, his room was do for a makeover anyway so we ended up painting as well. Anyway, we vacuumed the carpet at least a dozen times in every direction, we then steam cleaned it. After 4 days of no activity, we bought a new bed and traps to put on the legs of the beds and covers on the new mattress and box spring. We sprayed again and then sprayed the traps and then set my son out for bait. Nothing....no evidence of anything. Huh...cool, got the lil bastards. We spoke too soon. We saw a couple in the family room on the couch. Out comes the spray again. Every nook and cranny of that couch and the baseboards. We came to the conclusion either A) while moving items back into his room one may have fallen onto me or B) that is where he slept for two nights and there was a rider. We found 2 more in the couch, and about 5 making a trail from the baseboards toward the couch. They were all dead though. Wait, i remember, as a precaution I sprayed the OTHER side of his wall just in case. These were little turds trying to escape his room. Nope, so sorry. The spray did exactly what it said it would. Huh...cool. we got em now.........or did we ..... My daughters room was the next battleground. Now, my daughter is older and we have already purchased for her that set of bedroom furniture that's really nice so when she moves out of the house she has something to take with her. We found several in her mattress and box spring, so we spray the crap out of it. This wasn't a little kids set of furniture we can just throw out this time. Her room was then cleaned and sprayed down. More bed leg traps were bought and put into place and she was put out for bait.....SUCCESS !!! we got you this time you little demons from hell !!! They were all moving either away from her bed or towards her bed. Either way, we sprayed the traps and when the little demons hit the traps they were dead. These were little little ones. read up and you will understand. Could this be the last battle ground ? was this Custards last stand ?? The little bastards made it into OUR room now !!! However, their numbers were severely depleted, you could see the two that we found had not had a meal in some time. it's working.....it's working...the tide has swung !!! So our room was then tore apart and we sprayed everything down and traps on our bed legs. This was over a week ago. We have ordered several times and now bought a gallon jug. My advice, as good as this product is, buy a gallon or more. You WILL need it. Not because the product doesn't work, but because these things are smart and they suck. I was on a trip and a week ago and our latest bottles came in and my wife sprayed everything down again. This past weekend, Memorial weekend....we sprayed everything down again. Baseboards, bed traps, furniture legs and in the case of our beds....the beds. The couches in the family rooms also got a spray down. We are heading into week 2 of absolute ZERO activity of any kind. No dead bodies anywhere and for sure, no bites. No noting anywhere including the traps. Here's the bottom line IMO.....if you get these little demons, you can beat them. It won't be quick and don't think it will be. You can't rest, and you have to be vigilant. I think the fact we caught this relatively early, were able to basically throw out all furniture and buy new furniture, made this relatively painless. Painless is a relative term though. My wife and I have hours and hours of work we put into this. We also used Diatomaceous Earth around everywhere. I may joke about it being a battle, in reality, that's what this is. You have to think ahead and plan ahead and use this product and follow their instructions to the letter. It works. Update 11/10/2017....... a final update to my story..... we did see a straggler here and there for about 3 weeks after we thought we had them all. After that, we have been clean for 3 months, knock on wood. This product in conjunction with proper cleaning and maybe some DE... you can win this battle. I still highly recommend this product.
