JT Eaton 207-W Bed Bug Killer II Spray, Water-Based Insect Spray, Ready-to-Use Quart Bottle for Indoor Use

I have used this product for years. Use it in a smaller travel bottle when we go away!! Never know what has been in the hotel room before you. use it at full strength just in case.

Great product! I used to get bit by spiders and dust mites before I started using this product, but since I've been using this, I don't have any problem with bugs on my mattress. This is the only product I will ever use on my bed1

Good value! Nothing specktackular

This DOES work and I have used it successfully to get rid of bedbugs and prevent re-infestation. I was bedbug free from 2011-2014 (until a recent house-guest brought some). That being said, you cannot expect it to work alone or just spray once and forget about it. With bed bugs, you need to treat using several methods and repeat several times to make sure they (and their eggs) are all eradicated. I only gave this 4 stars because it has a somewhat strong odor and you can't use it everywhere or on just anything. You have to be careful and avoid skin and eye contact.I never knew what bed bugs really were until a few years ago. I started noticing bites in the mornings after I woke up. I looked it up online and it pointed to the patterns of bed bugs. Well, it turns out I got it from my college at the time which released a statement confirming they had bedbugs and would be treating it. Unfortunately for me, I had become a victim and turned out to be allergic to them with large long-lasting itchy welts in response to bites. It took a while to even find some actual bugs at my place, but we eventually did, killing those right away with our hands before they could scatter away and hide. We decided to self-treat.*****************************************************************SELF-TREATMENT PROCESS:At that time, I went to a bed bug supply store online and bought JT Eaton BedBug spray (red AND blue label), Diatomaceous Earth (DE) without pesticides, and a mini duster (It was actually all sold as a package for a little under $100). (I would later reorder this spray from Amazon.) Before spraying, we bagged everything! This was a time-consuming process but any clothing in the bedroom was bagged and laundered (Knot the bags very tightly, make sure nothing gets in or out. If the bags tear at some point, don't take out the items, just place the torn bag inside another new bag and knot tightly again).I took off the sheets, placing them in large heavy-duty plastic bags. I think they are the contractor clean-up kind. When you're laundering, make sure you don't reuse the plastic bag you brought to the laundromat. Throw that one away outside and bring a fresh new bag to bring the items back into your home. Be careful when dumping contents into the washer. When you get back home, leave the laundry in the bags by the entrance. Bag the clothes you wore before you walk through your house and bathe. While someone else laundered, I vacuumed everything (with a HEPA filter vacuum) very thoroughly and slowly, also making sure to use a crevice tool to focus in corners, tufts, mattress edges, etc. I vacuumed above and below the mattresses, the floors, bed frames, the baseboards, the light switches, outlets, picture frames, everywhere. After I was done vacuuming, I would vacuum up a small amount of DE to make sure any bugs were killed inside the vacuum. Then, I filled the plastic container (bagless vacuum) with some water and dumped out the contents into the toilet and flushed several times. This prevented any dust or dirt from dispersing had I disposed it into a bag. I proceeded to wash the vacuum filters and the plastic container. I also wiped down the vacuum itself with some soap and water.Thankfully, the box springs were still in their original bags, however, one of them had a tear. So, I dusted a bit of DE in there (one small puff) and sealed it with tape. It was just a box spring and it was sealed in tough plastic so, I didn't care. I first used the red label (immediate, direct contact spray) to spray the seams of the mattresses, bed frames, base boards, the bottom seams of the couch seat cushions, etc. I turned on the ceiling fan and another fan to help it dry. It does smell a lot so do open windows. After 24-48 hours, I changed and laundered the sheets AND vacuumed in the same way AGAIN. After vacuuming this second time, I now used the blue label (residual spray) to spray the same areas. Leave for a while, open windows, turn on fans.I also dusted small amounts of DE along the edges of the couch's seat cushions (underneath) where no one would breathe it in, touch it, or disturb it. I also had the bed on bed risers which was convenient since I could place DE in the reservoirs where the bed posts sat. I also pulled beds away from the walls. I also dusted outlets and any gaps in the baseboards with DE. If any area is going to be disturbed or used, don't dust with DE. It dries your hands and skin to the extreme and is terrible to breathe in. FINALLY! After all this, I was no longer getting any more bites. These methods worked very quickly!To be safe and to kill any possible eggs that may have hatched, I continued to launder carefully every week. I didn't have to really reapply anything right away as the blue spray is residual and I left the DE around for a few months (then vacuumed it all up and mopped and wiped down surfaces to get rid of any possible remaining dust after I knew we didn't have bed bugs anymore). However, I did respray the blue label spray once every couple of months just to be safe. When I went to repeat the spraying after a couple of months, I noticed two dead bed bugs under my mattress beneath the lining. I would recommend you do buy a bed bug proof mattress encasement to avoid getting any in your mattress in the first place. They will still bite you and exist in other areas until you treat but, they won't live in your mattress and save you lots of money if you're concerned about the mattress. Ultimately, this process was time-consuming (because of vacuuming and laundering), but it was relatively cheap, we did it ourselves and it was effective. You'd have to launder things even if you hired a professional. I didn't really throw anything out (except for pillows because they were cheap to replace and couldn't hurt).*********************************************************************PREVENTION DURING TRAVELING:Now, before I travel, I spray along the zippers of the suitcases and seams with this spray and have never brought back bed bugs. I actually bought the travel size and use that small bottle to refill it from a larger bottle and take it wherever I travel just in case. I also make sure to bag my clothing and shoes in separate large Ziploc bags and I inspect the hotel rooms for bed bugs before I put my stuff down. I also don't place purses, bookbags, or jackets/coats on the floors or areas close to touching floors.**********************************************************************PREVENTION AT HOME:Since my incident and given that I live in NYC which apparently has TONS of these infestations, I usually spray with the blue label spray under couch seat cushions along the seams in parts that do not come into contact with pets or skin as a preventative measure once every couple of months or so (it's supposed to last "up to" 16 weeks so, I do it every 12-14). If anyone brings bed bugs and sits on our couch, the residual spray under the seats should kill any bedbugs. Whenever people leave after visiting, I spray the top of the couch with Lysol spray and bag and launder any pillows and throws and also vacuum. It might seem like overkill but, that's how you have to react to bed bugs to eradicate and prevent. This infestation happened in early 2011. I didn't get bed bugs again and I even moved a year ago.However, now in my new place (2014), I had someone visit recently whom I believe brought bed bugs. I hadn't sprayed under my couch cushions with the blue spray in about 4 months because I needed to order more and forgot. I didn't think it was a big deal, it had been years since I had bed bugs. She stayed on my couch for several days and after she left, I bagged any bedding she used during that time to launder later. Even though I sprayed soft and hard surfaces with Lysol after, I didn't vacuum or bag everything else since we would move the couch pillows and throws for her to sleep at night. I got complacent. BAD IDEA. After her stay, I began noticing bites whenever I sat on the couch. GREAT. Well, my mother had some blue spray leftover so she gave me some until I could get more. To nip it in the bud right away, I sprayed under the couch cushions (though I didn't do any of the other cleaning or vacuuming since I didn't have time to do more that day). Well, a couple of days later, no bites whatsoever when I lay or sleep or sit on the couch at all and it's now been a week and no new bites on the couch. However, I did also get bites in my bedroom (I believe I brought some over from the couch before I treated it).Even though it seems to be in our bedroom now, I will be treating the whole place. You cannot spot-treat bed bugs. If you have it one room, treat EVERYWHERE, not just that one room. This time, I will also be using a steamer. I will update in a couple of months after I'm sure they're gone to see if a steamer helps and whether a different method works too.*********** TIPS*************1. We probably only had a small infestation in 2011 (and hopefully now too) so, this all worked then but if you have a large one, you might need a professional. Always use common sense and personal judgment. Do your research. Check out Bedbugger(dot com). They have a forum and other resources where you can ask questions and check out FAQs. I didn't use this information back in 2011 because I didn't know about the site (if it existed then) but, I had done my research before treatment and always followed directions on the labels.2. I would probably refrain from buying items "packaged" to treat bed bugs. Sometimes buying the items separately rather than in treatment packages is cheaper as these "packages" can be overpriced for the same items. Amazon sells the quart size spray (as of this review) for about $0.38/fl oz and has free prime shipping, however, always compare pricing and shop around. If you know you're going to be using the blue label spray regularly, consider buying the gallon size online from Home Depot for 29 bucks (about $0.23/fl oz) and ship free to store or other stores such as BedBugSupply(dot com) (about $0.21/fl oz). However, a quart size spray can cover a large area as you're only spraying certain areas, not entire pieces of furniture.3. PREVENTION is the best method. Consider storing your dirty laundry in plastic bags rather than fabric or wicker containers which will be harder to clean and treat. Vacuum and launder regularly. Store your fresh clothes in giant Ziploc bags or plastic bins or plastic contractor bags and then store it in your drawers or closet. This will all make it easier to clean and will keep anything from spreading should you ever get bedbugs. It may be a hassle to have your clothes this way, but it'll save you time and money in the long run because you might not have to wash and dry everything if you do get bedbugs. Even if you don't have or get any bedbugs, it'll at least keep clothes smelling fresh longer.4. Use this blue label spray to prepare your suitcase for travel. Only spray where it will not come into contact with clothing or other personal items and remember to pack your clothing and items in giant Ziploc bags (or other strong bags) to prevent infestations. Check your hotel rooms for bedbugs before bringing the suitcase into the room. Never place suitcases on the beds.5. Look online for videos on how to spray this on your suitcases and bed areas and also how to inspect rooms for bedbugs. I used the JTEATONPESTCONTROL's YouTube Channel. Since then, I have looked at other videos as well but, they all seem to be about the same.6. After traveling, launder everything right away. Clean the inside and outside of Ziploc bags with a disinfecting wipe. Do not bring the suitcase deep inside the house or place on top of the bed or anything like that. It is a residual spray but, to be safe, leave the suitcase near the entrance, get a large thick plastic trash bag and place the empty suitcase inside and keep sealed until next time. If you're feeling lucky, just vacuum it thoroughly and store as normal. Respray the suitcase if it's been more than ~16 weeks or will be while you're traveling. This will ensure you don't bring anything back or pick anything up. If you do, it should hopefully die.7. Always wear gloves and a mask when spraying and dusting and do not spray/dust anywhere that will come into direct contact with skin, pets, or children. You do not want to breathe this in or get it on skin (D.E. is VERY drying and bad for your lungs). DO NOT USE D.E. AROUND PETS. Only use it in small amounts in rooms where they have absolutely no access to. DO NOT USE IN ACTIVE HOUSEHOLD AREAS (living room, kitchen) OR WHERE IT CAN BE DISPERSED BY WIND AND/OR FANS. Do not inhale. Follow instructions. Read labels. Wear a mask and open windows immediately AFTER spraying to ventilate. If you open the windows or use the fans while spraying, the wind might blow the spray/dust around. If you do have pets, put them in a separate closed but well-ventilated room for several hours while you treat other areas. Seal the bottom of the door to the pet room with tape and/or a bag + tape to prevent any odors from getting into that room because if they're like my pets, they will go to the bottom of the door and sniff curiously. Or better yet, take them somewhere else altogether and make sure everything has had a chance to ventilate and dry very well before bringing them back so they don't breathe anything in.

Great. I spray it every 14 weeks, to be safe, and haven't seen any be bugs. I didn't have to buy a new bed or furniture. It will help you save money and keep at the critters.

This product does not kill Bedbugs upon contact. I even captured some and sprayed them with the chemical and they did not die. I placed them in a plastic bag for 5 days and they were still alive.

This product works immediately. LOVE IT. Just a reminder don't get it on your SKIN or CLOTHES or LINENS

This worked really well for me. I would recommend it. I did not have an infestation (thank God) but I had enough and it seems to have gotten rid of them.
