NO
I watched a news story about a company that does that, I’m not sure how well it works. My ex-roommate worked for a pest control company and she always said that the only sure fire way to kill bedbugs is to spread a thin layer of diatomaceous earth throughout the affected area and let it stand for a day or two. They walk on it and it’s like razor blades to them, it pierces their exoskeletons and they die. I doubt this does anything to their eggs.
