Why DIY Bed Bug Treatments Fail (And How Professional Solutions Work)

A quick Google search offers dozens of home remedies for bed bugs — from baking soda to essential oils. But while DIY solutions may provide short-term relief, they rarely solve the problem. Here’s why professional pest control in Ontario is the smarter option.

  • Limited reach – DIY sprays and powders only work on contact, often missing eggs or bugs hidden deep in cracks.
  • No residual protection – Without residual insecticides, any bugs that emerge after treatment will continue to spread.
  • Resistance – Many bed bugs are resistant to over-the-counter pesticides.
  • Hidden nests – Bed bugs can hide in electrical outlets, wall voids, and baseboards — areas inaccessible without proper equipment.

Why Bestokill Works:

  • Uses high-efficiency, Health Canada-approved treatments
  • Offers integrated treatment plans, including follow-ups
  • Customizes each service based on the infestation’s severity and location

Don’t waste time and money on guesswork. Contact Bestokill — a trusted bed bug exterminator in Ontario — for results that last.
