Don’t waste your time/money. I seriously doubt this. You need a good/safe insecticide. Bed bugs are really hard to get rid of. See the attached article.

Green Methods of Getting Rid of Bed Bugs
So, you may be wondering how you can get those bed bugs out of here. Well, there are green options available that will help you out. In some cases you may need pesticides to do the trick, but trying the green options first is the best idea, especially if you don’t have too many of the bed bugs. Here are a few green methods to try:
-Clean Everything: Imply doing a good clean can be helpful if you want to get rid of the bedbugs. Clean the bedding by washing it well. Vacuum the area that is infested too, whether it is a mattress, couch, or carpets.
-Eliminate the Clutter: If you have clutter in your home, get rid of it. The more clutter available, the more areas that are available for these critters to hide in. Get rid of the clutter to help get rid of the bed bugs.
-Try Smothering Them: Using a mattress bag on your mattress or some bags for your pillows can help you to actually smother away the bed bugs. Just make sure that you check for holes on a regular basis.
-Steam Cleaning: You can kill bed bugs with high temperatures. By steam cleaning your carpets, curtains, furniture, and more, you can kill off these bugs as well as the eggs they lay.
You don’t have to resort to chemicals to get rid of bed bugs. With these green options, you should be able to finally get rid of the bed bugs that have taken up residence in your home.
