How can a small (or even large) UV light kill a bed bug (unless you simply hit it on the head with the wand)?

UV light breaks down the molecular structure that holds the organic tissues together. It is similar to exposing skin to sunlight without sun screen. Burn the tissues kills the organism.

i used a uv light and it did not cured i don't think it will work with a led lamp i would not recommend this product..

I didn't buy it for bedbugs, but I highly doubt it. I have heard (living in NYC where they are pretty common) that the only way to get rid of them is to hire someone to come in and exterminate them. Best of luck!

No, you need a UV lamp. I have even heard several people try the LED and it will not cure.

Yes, it works the very same way as the UV lamp. I bought the LED lamp because the bulbs never have to be replaced and it is safer for skin, according to the reviews. This unit has sufficient timer settings for product that takes a little longer to cure. The cavity is smaller than the UV lamp for some reason, but the fingers and thumb fit just fine, and it is sufficiently roomy for toes, too. So far, I do not regret buying this lamp. UPDATE: Now that I've had an opportunity to use this unit a few times, I do have one issue with the system that I didn't think to consider when I purchased it. The lamp is only in the top of the unit and the sides are reflectors. While it is true the unit can accommodate the fingers and thumb, the outside edge of the thumb for most clients does not cure because the reflectors have no effect and the light does not "see" the outside edge of the thumb. Thus, thumbs have to be held over the index finger (uncomfortable) to cure with the fingers, or they have to be cured separately. Had I realized this about the unit I would not have purchased this system.

My advice: don't even bother with this product. save your money. it only blows very warm (NOT hot) steam and hardly removes stains or sanitizes surfaces so I think much less would it do you any justice for the bed bugs. hope you find what you are looking for :)

I don't really know how effective it is? or how much it would cover? We have it in our living room and find all kinds of flying insect in there except flies. The fan is not strong enough to pull in certain insect and the room have to be completely dark for the bugs to get drawn to it. We often get power outage and once the power is out, the trapped insect can escape. It's not as effective as the outdoor model which is alot brighter and it kill the insect right away instead of waiting for it to dehydrate and die.

the GE powder smothers them, you must continue to use it as directed. It takes weeks to get rid if them. I also bought the mattress and box spring zippered covers and used bed bug cup traps, to put the legs of the bed in the cups filled with the GE powder. the bug sprays only make them run to other areas of the house. I also used the 91% alcocol that I bought at walmart and put in a spray bottle. this will kill them on direct contact. It took me almost 5 weeks to get rid of them. I also vacuumed the rugs in the infested room daily.

buy a small $10.00 bellows duster here on amazon or at your local hardware store. put about 1/4 full in the duster. shake it up and turn the duster on it side so as not to squirt out a stream of powder. All you want is a fine puff of dust. use it around the legs of the bed and around base boards and dressers and chest of drawers. This works very well. I friend that works for a pest control company told me about this and It is the only thing I have tried that worked and this keeps on killing where liquid only kills on contact then evaporates. this also kills many other bugs as well. hopes this helps. remember just a fine puff of dust is all you want. Not a stream of white powder. buy a small $10.00 bellows duster here on amazon or at your local hardware store. put about 1/4 full in the duster. shake it up and turn the duster on it side so as not to squirt out a stream of powder.

I am not sure. I suppose it would if they are attracted to the UV light. It works pretty much like a bug light but instead of zapping the bug, it gets stuck on the fly paper.

Ive never used on bed bugs but the instructions say it will kill them and trust me it will kill them and any other moving creature you spray! KEEP AWAY FROM PETS AND USE RESPONSIBLY. I would take mattress outdoor and spray the heck out of it and leave outside for 2 days in sunlight or garage. Wash all sheets in clorox, etc, spray around floors edges and shampoo carpets.

It doesn't bother humans. I don't think you could even get a suntan from the ultraviolet it puts out but it kills a whole lot of bugs!

I have a dog, and the bed bug spray works without any harm to my pet. On the other hand, the bed bugs are a different story they become terminal!!!

spray over the area where bugs are seen..if fabric based: sofa,carpet,drapery. spray let dry and VACUUM off. do this atleast once per month and you should see a good result..IF spraying on wood areas: bed frame crevices...spray thoroughly and let dry in. BEST TO WASH BEDDING IN HOT WATER AND HOT DRYER. Also good to put waterproof pillow cases over your pillows, although bed bug bully doesn't have a terrible odor, best not to fave it in your face as you sleep. This worked for me but you have to keep doing it even once or twice after the bugs are out of sight. Stories all indicate they can stay dormant for a YEAR. spray over the area where bugs are seen..if fabric based: sofa,carpet,drapery. spray let dry and VACUUM off. do this atleast once per month and you should see a good result..IF spraying on wood areas: bed frame crevices...spray thoroughly and let dry in.

Delta dust will kill anything that moves, including humans if ingested. For larger pests it may take longer to die. It's a neuro toxin. Our wolf spiders took a while, even with direct contact spray. My pest guy says anything that will "clean itself" will ingest this. This is why bed bugs die, even though they live off of blood. They, like most insects, clean themselves like a cat. Gross!
