Does lysol kill bed bugs?
Similar to rubbing alcohol, lysol may kill bed bugs on contact but will not be effective for bed bugs hiding during treatment. Bed bugs typically hide during the day and come out at night to feed on sleeping humans when they detect warmth and/or exhaled CO2.
Lysol does not have a residual bed bug killing action. So while lysol may kill the bed bugs you can see, it doesn’t have any effect on bed bugs you can’t see.
What attracts bed bugs?
What really attracts bed bugs? The assumption that bed bugs are a symptom of dirt, grime, and unsanitary conditions is wrong. Bed bugs can be found in upper-end housing just as easily as lower-end and public housing. So what are bed bugs attracted to?
Bed bugs are attracted to both warmth and exhaled CO2, usually from sleeping humans. Detected these two things is the bed bugs cue to leave their hiding spot and come out and feed.
Does rubbing alcohol kill bed bugs?
Yes rubbing alcohol can kill not only bed bugs, but bed bug eggs. Unfortunately rubbing alcohol is not going to solve your bed bug problem. Rubbing alcohol has little residual action, so while it is effective for bed bugs you can see, it will not kill bed bugs you can’t see.
Bed bugs hide during the day, usually only coming out to feed at night. So most of the bed bugs are likely hidden while you are attempting to treat the area with rubbing alcohol.
