Didn't work.
We hosted a family Christmas( I have a large family) and ended up getting bed bugs for christmas. We spent around $300 ourselves trying to treat for the bedbugs but were never successful. Ultimately we hired an exterminator who came in and used a chemical called temprid. You can buy it on here for around $75. It works effectively. Sometimes it requires a second treatment. The most important thing is how you treat, the exterminators gave us a to do list prior to coming and as a family of 5 it was about 3 days work but it was worth it. Basically we had to run EVERYTHING that could go through the dryer in it for about 90min, then it went into a trash bag, UNTIL EVERYTHING WAS IN A BAG! Even the curtains, and especially the bedding. We had to get mattress covers for each bed Then everything that couldn't be thrown in the drying needed to be sprayed with rubbing alcohol. (lots of rubbing alcohol...) This helps to dry out any eggs that might be in random places, like toy boxes. Then you go through and spray all the furniture with the temprid. Beds, Couches, recliners, nightstands, dressers, etc. Then you spray along the crevices of the floor/wall and in and After suffering for 7 months we were finally bug free...
