Hot Shot Ready-to-Use Bed Bug Killer Spray, Kills Bed Bugs and Bug Eggs Indoors, Kills Fleas and Dust Mites, Non-Staining, 1 Gallon

Works how it should

great price for the size of the product. It worked better than I had expected it to work. There wasn't really any type of smell to it so didn't have to have windows open or anything like that. The spray effectiveness was great and dried pretty quickly which is another plus.

Don't know if it works yet. It's easy and convenient to use, although the pipe could be longer. I started sneezing and having itch in my nose during spraying and it lasted for an hour. Be careful if you're allergic , maybe use a respirator for protection.

Works quick

I had bed bugs in my bedroom and hallway. I stopped sleeping in my bedroom and am on the couch for now until i get my new bed. I threw out my old mattress. I vacuum every single day and have sprayed this spray daily in my bedroom and hallway. From what I've read, it's hard to get rid of them. I've been spraying for a few days and don't see any bugs yet. It says on the bottle to spray every few weeks. But i soaked my carpet, walls, doorframe. Everything, it doesnt stain. I hope it got rid of them. But I've read that you have to be persistent for months to get rid of them. So I hope this stuff works. I don't see any yet,but I'm also not sleeping in my room. So we will see.

You must know how to use this product for bed bugs. Strip everything down, take all clothes/cloths out wash and dry. It's not easy getting rid of these critters. After drying all cloths please just keep them in a area that's not affected. I even sprayed and put down Diatomaceous earth in the areas that wasn't affected to be on the safe side. Keep spraying everyday or every other day for the best results. I learned that rubbing alcohol and bleach works good to kill bed bugs. I brought a gallon of bleach and 10 bottles of rubbing alcohol. It definitely works! First I mix the rubbing alcohol in with the rest of the bed bug spray that was left..sprayed every corner of the beds, dressers, walls...base boards..you name it. Then the next day I went in and poured bleach in a bottle and sprayed. So far it been two weeks since I've been treating my home. I still don't trust or recommend anyone to sleep back in the affected area until you are sure that the bugs are gone. Remove furniture apart..everything! I thought it was the end until I notice a few smaller ones still around. Less than what it was though. Now I have spread more Diatomaceous earth around the floors and furniture of the room including the other rooms of the house. Can never be too safe! I haven't notice any bugs since but I will be spraying again tonight. Also, I thought about bombing my house with bed bug foggers. No one haven't been bit in last two weeks so I know that these critters are starving by now lol! Good luck for anyone else who is experiencing bed bug problems. Hope this helped.

Now the thing about Hot Shot is that it is not an instant kill like Raid is. Raid will kill on contact and if that's what you want because maybe you have a really bad infestation and you just want to kill as many as possible or you see one or two you want them dead then you would buy raid or another brand. Hot Shot has always taken a very long time to kill and I think it has something to do with the fact that they want the bugs to run back to where they hide at so that they can infect the other bugs or the other bugs will eat them in slowly kill them as well. If the bugs die instantly that won't happen. The only reason why I got this one is because the other one I was trying to buy I guess it was a Hazmat and couldn't be delivered to my house. Maybe that works better I wouldn't know but I tried this on the few stragglers that I saw after I threw out my grandmother's mattress and it killed them so it works. We will see about eggs though. Just remember that you have to vacuum after you use this stuff because they can still lay their eggs when they're dead and you have to vacuum up the eggs as well to minimize the chances of them rehatching in case for whatever reason they're resistant to the treatment. Just try to do everything that you can on your end so you don't have to call in a professional(again for some of us). Sleep easy.
