does insect spray get rid of bed bugs?

does insect spray get rid of bed bugs?

Answer:

no you have to get a professional to do it for you or smush them
No it does not. Spray with ceder side in it will kill bed bugs. DE will kill bed bugs.
No. Even over the counter bed bug treatments are so-so.
No, not unless you are in a country that still allows the use of DDT. You have to get a professional to get rid of them...they are allowed to used certain toxic chemicals that are not available over the counter. Other than that, killing them individually, thorough professional carpet cleaning, throwing out the infested furniture, and using extreme heat are the only way to get rid of them in your house and clothing. It is a long difficult process.....well worth paying a professional to do it for you while you stay with a relative or friend....just be sure not to take any critters with you in your over-night bag.
yes and no...any insecticide will kill the individual bed bug, the problem is that bed bugs walk around on the tips of their feet so they never are in contact with enough chemical, the types of chemical you would buy over the counter, to do the whole infestation in. There are formulations sold at do it your self type pest stores that would be very effective against them, but then it falls into knowing where to spray for them and how to hunt them down.
