Home remedy treatments can cut the presence of bed bugs in the short term. But they'll usually be back.
This is because it only takes one very resilient, pregnant female to repopulate your entire home. Bed bugs only need 35 days to mature after they hatch.
Within three months, you could have 300 to 500 adult bed bugs right back in your bedroom.
Professional remedies are meant to kill every single bed bug, nymphs, and their eggs. This stops the cycle and ensures the problem doesn't come back.
