The SayByeBugs company has since had a lawyer contact us to remove or “correct” the review and provided additional studies that we cannot find on their website. Does SayByeBugs Spray Work?Ģ022 Update: we previously stated that SayByeBugs “provides no scientific testing or evidence that their product works to treat bed bug infestation”. A wide-ranging residual product is needed to address this behavior. Bed bugs are razor-thin and will hide in and under the bed, as well as the furniture near the bed and even the baseboards and walls throughout the bedroom. A strong residual product is crucial when embarking on DIY bed bug eradication since the bugs can hide virtually anywhere in the bedroom or home.īed bugs simply do not venture out enough for direct spraying of the pests to have a positive effect. The product is advertised to destroy all life stages of bed bugs inside the home and the application process involves spraying all areas where bed bugs harbor.Ī noticeable negative with the application process of this product is that all bed bug hiding areas must be sprayed multiple times a day after drying. SayByeBugs is a bed bug product that uses sodium-based active ingredients to treat bed bug infestations. I will also look at what reviewers are saying about the product and offer any alternatives that I feel can provide better results. I’ll look at the ingredient list of the product to see if I think bed bug eradication is possible. In this review, I will examine “ Say Bye Bugs” bed bug-killing products. You don’t want to waste time when you’re trying to get rid of bed bugs.

If you’re checking out any product that claims to be an “all-natural bed bug killer”, you should research the product carefully. Natural products might work to repel bed bugs from biting, but killing this high-resistance pest is very tough. If you type vegetable glycerine/glycerin into the search bar at the top of my blog you’ll see quite a few other posts using this great ingredient.There is a cold and hard truth when it comes to using natural products to eradicate bed bugs: you will likely not get the results you want. Just as I explained in my recent post Non-Toxic Spray For Pests, vegetable glycerine is a great vessel to help essential oils bind to whatever you spray them on (in this case, you). You can get a wonderful organic, non-GMO sourced vegetable glycerin in my online herbal boutique. Vegetable glycerin!? Huh? Non-GMO & ethically-sourced vegetable glycerin plays a part in many of my DIY projects! Having a bottle of this on hand is not only a great idea since you can use it a lot, but it’s also cheap. I’m also quite fond of Plant Therapy (and they offer very affordable smaller sizes of EOs, which is nice to get started). I prefer to purchase the vast majority of my essential oils from Mountain Rose Herbs, BUT I am NOT one who thinks ‘only this company ALWAYS’. Essential oils go a loooooong way, so you’ll have plenty of batches you can make from this purchase. Second, you’ll need to locate the following ingredients. 4 56 How Do You Make It?Įasy! First, you’ll want to get your hands on a spray bottle (I used a small 3oz travel spray bottle for the following recipe). It also holds many of the same properties as Tea Tree Oil, but is also hailed for its ability to keep insects (especially mosquitoes) away. This essential oil has been shown over hundreds of years to be a strong wound healer. I use it in many things around my home, even in my handcrafted body sprays and lotions. Woo Who! 1 2 Not to mention, I think that it smells quite lovely. Not only is it healthy and healing ( in appropriate doses) for humans, it is toxic to many insects. Among other uses for humans, it has antimicrobial, antibiotic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Tea Tree Oil (also known as Melaleuca Oil) is a wonderful essential oil and has been studied quite a bit throughout history. So, let’s learn a bit more about these two specific essential oils. They just so happen to be essential oils (if you need a quick review about essential oils, check out this post). Now that we have that out of the way, when it comes to bug spray for your body there are two ingredients that the big chemical corporations do not want you to know about. We know it’s pretty darn nasty stuff, right? Okay…good. I think that I can skip that with bug spray (BUT, if you want to know more I tackle toxic bug sprays in this post). Here is where I would usually go into my spiel about individual ingredients in products that make them bad for us. Looking for a natural DIY bug spray recipe that will not leave you soaked in toxic chemicals (…w ho needs that!?) AND actually works?

Bye bye bugz
