How to use this home remedy for bed bugs
Spray the mixture directly onto the affected areas: mattress edges, bed frames, sofa crevices, and all corners of your furniture. Let the solution work for at least 2 minutes before ventilating the area or wiping it down if necessary. Since bed bugs hide their eggs well, it is important to repeat the process every two days for a week. This ensures that even newly hatched nymphs are caught before they can reproduce again.
