Eco-Friendly and Highly Effective Bed Bug Pesticide?

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

Could such a thing exist?

I’ve tried spraying bleach where my walls and floor meet, only to end up sneezing uncontrollably from the volatile chemical, plus my apartment ends up smelling like a swimming pool. It bothers the hell out of my sinuses, and once I realized the bleach had a minimal effect on bed bugs I stopped using it altogether.

And oh yeah, I accidentally sprayed some bleach on one of my favorite black shirts, ruining it forever. :(

So I was surprised to find out about Sleep Tight, an all-natural pesticide which was not only designed to kill bed bugs, but has been proven to be highly effective. The best part about this product, besides the fact that it kills bed bugs, is that it is non-toxic to humans.

I read about this new product in a news story from a Tennessee news station’s web site and after learning exactly how it works I decided to peruse the manufacturer’s web site. Apparently the company, Natureplex, has a wide range of natural products that address everything from sexual health to denture care.

I’m really glad to see a product has finally been developed specifically for bed bugs. In an earlier post I wrote about a pesticide made by Dow Chemicals which was designed to kill termites, but can kill bed bugs if used at three times the concentration needed to kill termites. I really didn’t feel safe administering a triple dosage of insecticide in my living space. But I feel confident enough to order Sleep Tight. The site is very informative and doesn’t try to hide anything about this pesticide.

I’m going to order this tonight and see just how well Sleep Tight works. I’ll happily post my review of Sleep Tight on Bugged Out.
