Home Remedies For Getting Rid of Bed Bugs
Don't let the bed bugs bite! Read about 3 proven home remedies that can help you get rid of bed bugs and exterminate this nuisance from your life.
To kill and eliminate bed bugs from your life, there are a wide varieties of remedies available. From the use of environmentally friendly non-toxic bed bug insecticide to something as simple as heat and steam, all of which can help you control and get rid of bed bugs.
If you are looking for proven ways on how to get rid of bed bugs at home, try the following 3 remedies:
Insecticide - Diatomaceous Earth
According to many reports, diatomaceous earth has been proven to be an effective bed bug killer for the home. Make from the fossilized remains of hard-shelled algae, this insecticide is both environmentally friendly and non-toxic. The diatomaceous earth fine powder contains razor sharp particles that abrades the waxy cuticle that covers the bed bugs' exosekeleton, causing them to die with contact.
Apply diatomaceous earth along the base boards and rub it in the carpets after each vacuuming to eliminate and prevent the spread of bed bugs.
Heat & Steam
One of the most simple home remedies, heat is highly effective at exterminating bed bugs and their eggs. Like humans, bed bugs cannot survive extreme heat. The thermal death point for the common bed bug is 120 °F therefore washing bed linens and clothes in the dryer with this thermal setting will generally kill all bed bugs.
For big items that cannot be wash with hot water such as mattress, the use of hot steam from a professional grade bed bug steamer can be used effectively to kill both bed bugs and their eggs instantaneously even if they are hidden deep within the pores of mattress. To be an effective bed bug steamer, experts recommended that the steam coming out from the tip of the cleaner needs to be above 200 °F (as compared to 120 °F of heat that will only kill bed bugs on contact but not those that are hidden deep inside the mattress or sofa.)
Mattress Encasement
If you are getting bitten regularly from bed bugs, bed bug mattress covers can be use as an effective non-chemical remedy to get immediate relief and comfort from the bed bug bites. These encasements seal off the entire mattress completely leaving no gap for the bed bugs to enter or escape through. Similarly, these encasements should also be use for your pillows as well. You will then need to keep the covers on for at least a year to eventually kill any bed bugs trapped within.
For these encasements to be effective, you will also need to:
- isolate the bed away from the wall to prevent bed bugs from crawling from the wall onto the bed
- apply double-sided duct tape around each leg of the bed to act as sticky barrier from the crawling bugs, as well as,
- do not let any clothing or items hang off the bed and touch the floor.
Get Rid of bed Bugs With Professional Exterminators
Getting rid of bed bugs will unquestionably be a long-winded and demanding task. If you feel that you do not have the time or the energy to execute the extermination well on your own, it is advisable to hire a bed bug exterminator who have invested in the knowledge, training and equipment to do the job well and guarantee the success of the extermination operation.

thanks so much for the advice as it will definitely come in handy as i am trying to discover new ways to help others.
bedbugs are a nightmare they are small but mighty. I put bleach n laundry detergent(sm amounts)along with hot tap water in spray bottle n it kills them. God has made some wicked creatures.
My cousin had gotten books from the library and opened one to find a bedbugs. So be careful where you shop and renting from rental furniture places. Second hand shops and garage sales are not a good ideal to bit stuff unfortunally.
i had bed bugs like i said had what i used was flee and tick spray the bed bugs look like ticks so i figured that they might be connected so is sprayed my bed for a month every morning i would take all bedding off one at a time fold ends and side over to check before i would make my bed i would raise my matress and spray everyday now i have no bed bugs. give this a try you will be so happy
i'am not having much luck i had to get rid of everything couch beds etc and blocked off everyplace where they might get in at but still see them in the tub sink and even cups what is a person to do
Im currently living in a bedbug infested shelter, and no matter what we do the bugs keep coming. We have tryed everything from heating the beds, mattress covers, lavender,alchol and even freezing them out but nothing works. What are we to do? Especially if we have no where else to go.
Ms. Lady
I had bedbugs before there terrible thanks alot for the info!!!
I have lot of bed bug in my home they bite me and my children too i am too much worried about it last sunday i have done fumigation but still they are alive i read your articles it is very informative for me i will apply
thanks for the information....bedbugs are ugly gits!!
the best way to kill and get rid of bed bugs is to mix javix and amomia with dish soap, and delute with water, but be extremely careful when mixing, one litre of water add half cup of javix to the water, then add one tbs of dish soap, then add a quarter cup of amonia put into spray bottle and spray it all around the perimatere of base boards, kills them instantly.
I had bedbugs and the owner of our elderly building had professionals come in and spray but it takes 3 times to do any good so they do it a month or so at a time so they get rid of the eggs and babies BUT!! one of the men told me to get a spray bottle and put alcohol in it and spray the house real good because bedbugs die instantly when they come in contact with alcohol and it's a lot cheaper than paying professionals. My daughter did that and got rid of hers right away but you need to keep it up every few months. Good luck.
We have been struggling with Bed Bugs for many years now. They suck ( no pun intended). I just wanted to let you all know that if you sleep in another room they will follow you there so by doing that you are just spreading them. They also like popcorn cealings so if you are wondering where they are look up. Also behind picture frames, nightstands, carpet ect. Metel bed frames don’t mean they won’t live there either because most of the time they are hollow and they will hide inside. They also really like books (they can be found in library books too so look before you check out) so when going thru your things make sure to look in all your books on the book case or by your bed. I have just read about this stuff called FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH and most people that have tried it have said that it will kill them within a few weeks of using it consistantly and its pretty cheep can be bought at a pet store. Its also supposed to be pet friendly and people friendly. I am going to give it a try cause I really hate these things and am so sick of getting bit every night. Good luck to everyone and I hope that you all find the answer to get rid of these little bastards! God Bless
using alcohol seems to work
From lasts 3 years we have bed bugs at home. And we are irritated with it. We have spend thousands of rupees to get rid of bed bugs. But we can't get any results. Full night we can't sleep.. Because bed bugs are biting.. Sometimes we feel scared with their bitings.. It creates skin reaction.. And rashes..
ORDINARY GLASS CLEANER KILLS BED BUGS..!!
my first encounter with bed bug was in a metro like mumbai.
It was unbeleivable. There We used to wash the flat weekly with hot water and detergent.
Yes it make a difference but make them more active.....
Trying all kind of insectiside is a waste.. They are just for a few days effective.
I am a mariner . But now a days i can see them all around the world..
The best remedy that is possible is to spray all the walls and your mattress with deisel.
Yes they die immedieatly with the contact.
Do it weekly and u can sleep peacefully.. Yes the smell is better than sleepless night.
They are less active when AC to its min temp.
They steal our precious blood.
I've been told to remove all clothing,matress covers,etc and wash it all in really hot water,then dry for about two hours in order to kill them.I live in an appartment,and I've figured out they're coming in from between the walls,underneath the baseboards(the area between the carpet and the bottom edge of the wall.still working on killing them...
I hate bed bugs,....they have invaded my life,.,,I ended up leaving my apt with all in it after the building exterminator came 7 times to exterminate over a 2 month period and to no avail the biting continued..so I left all!!
now I found a new place,,I havent fully moved in as I am having it exterminated...as when i spent some time there talking with super etc..I got itchy each time and realized there maybe something..now I am getting bit on my current bed and wonder if I picked them up there,...AHH they are everywhere!! and so I heard about a remedy of rubbing alchol, vinager and hot boiling water..and tended the area today!! hope it works!!..
Also, there are mites I understand that bite!! so at this point not sure whats biting!
This is very serious my mom has bb and they dont play we r desperately trying to get rid of them these bugs are no joke I think I'm going to need to see a psychiatrist because every little thing I see I automatically think bb I don't even visit friends houses anymore in fear of getting new bugs on me smh.......
While i have yet to see a bedbug in my home all of my children and myself have what appear to be bug bites, i am trying the steam treatment on all of my furnature, mattresses and carpets. i'll keep you all updated on if it works or not! keep your fingers crossed.
I laughed and cryed when I heard Michelle call these bugs little bastards! Thats what I call them and Ive been battling them for 4 mths. Burns Pest Control have the bug sniffing dogs and 10 days after they treated my apt. they brought the dog through and said my home was clear of bed bugs. I kept being bit every few nights so Ive lost faith in the dog sniffing idea. I threw out my sofa, recliner and end tables. I covered my mattresses and boxsprings with the bedbug barriers. I must caution people from buying second hand furniture! And furniture next to the dumpsters! Its a potential bedbug nightmare! beware! I feel Ive lost part of my sanity. I vacuum and spray weekly. Im having BurnsPest Control check it again. Im very frustrated. THey are truely litle bastards!
little bastards are right! they are little bastards i hate these things! i can't even stay at my son's father house cause he has them and i can't bring my child there. its been almost 4 months with bombing, spraying, exterminator but nothing. now im gonna shampoo every week spray every couple days, everything i want these bugs to leave so bad they have most certainly put a huge negative effect on my current living situation
ugh!! just found a bed bug. my son and i had been getting bit all summer but we thought it was something else. i put a whits sheet on the sofa and finally caught one crawling. aww what do i do now!! help. does alcohol really work
Man these lil bastard got my wife shook she getting bit every night my daughter is getting bit every night and I can't. Find a proper solution I'm going to try all these home remedies at once and she what happens so I can regain peace in my home
At first i thought maybe i was being bit by fleas i have 3 dogs, i have bombed my house 3 times and have sprayed numrous sprays all over and around the house but i seen a baby bed bug ( i think anyways) these were some great ideas. I'm now going to try the hot water and alcohol. Wish me luck everyone. Theses things are making me go crazy....
Hi i am also one among people who lost the sleep because of these bloody bed bugs.
First I tried to get raid of these bed bugs by using some chemical spary suggested by my friend, but it did't work.I lost my sleep. I tried different methods to get rid of these and finally one worked for me.
1) Mix 4 to 5 tea spoon of Harpic toilet cleaner with 250ml of water and spray it using the sprayer at the corners of the house, behind cup boards etc. These are the dwelling place of these creatures. Continue these for a week daily. Secondly shower little bleaching powder at the corners of the tiles adjacent to the wall and leave it for few days. This kills it. Try this. I am sure this will work for sure!!
I think we all feel the same way these bed bug's (BASTARDS) are invadeing our lives so much so that we cant get a decent nights sleep we cant have friends or family over cause we dont want them to get bit. These bastards are makein my family feel dirty and miserable I just want them GONE I pray for the day cause we cant stand the site of umm nor the biteing I think I may be allergic im getting these burns on my legs and arms everyday and when I shower it gets worse but it simmers down hours later. I have try'ed and try'ed soo many things dont no what else to do :(
The itch is quite irritating. I though about hammering the tiny head!
I've lived in my apartment for a year and never seen a bedbugs until the people upstairs moved put. Now they're comming down through the walls and Into my Apr. I sprayed my entire apartment from top to bottom with a solution of alcohol and bleach and bought an electronic device that you plug into an electric outlet and supposedly sends out some kinda high pitched sound that keeps insects Away. So far so good!
I have been fighting these bedbugs daily for almost a month - we have good nights when we think we've licked the problem and then one of us, my husband or I wake up with another itchy bite - some of the bites look like two little fang marks usually right around a vein on the arm (truly blood suckers). I could write a book about the things I've tried and I do think they're on the way out, but I feel like this is something you have to do everyday for a long, long time because they lay eggs. This started when I brought home a small box of paperback books from a book fair and set it down in my bedroom - when I figured out where the bugs were coming from I dumped the whole box in the trash, but it was too late - already infested. This problem has a tendency to make you a bit crazy - the one place you want to forget your problems and relax is in bed, and now I just lay there asking God to protect me from getting bitten. Anyway, I have tried diatamaceous earth sprinkled everywhere, got the plastic refrig. containers, filled with mineral oil and put under each bed leg, spray with alcohol, vinegar mixture nightly, go over sheets and mattress with a big flashlight and sticky tape on my fingers to snag them (can be little black or white specks)the white ones being the eggs. I took my bed completely apart (King mattress with two twin-sized box springs) I found the breeding ground on the inner side of one of the box springs so I sprayed it with alcohol and bleach and bought boxspring and mattress covers - the type that covers on all four sides and zips closed - I believe more than any of my other remedies, that has helped the most. I still spray everynight with the vinegar mixture (my bed is pulled out from the wall and I spray the back of it too) and before I get in bed I go over everything with the flashlight and the tape. Our bedroom smells like salad dressing. I'm keeping the diatamaceous earth sprinkled all around the edge of the bed and in the room corners. I also throw our bedspread in the dryer for 20 mins. before we go to bed to kill any hiding bugs and to cozy up the bed when we get in. I have accepted this as a problem that cannot be ignored - will probably be doing this for six months to a year. Blessings to all - our earth home has been invaded!
Truly as we all call them these tiny lil bastards have made our lives miserable.leaving sleepless nights I feel it has a haunted angle too .som1 please come up with some solution I m tired of spending on them . I m frustated
We were getting bitten by something for like 2 months and never knew what it was one night getting into bed we finally noticed 1 big bastard bed bug all full of blood running for the sheet base tore the bed apart and found all the blood stains from their poo in large clusters on the top back cornors of the mattress really gross I grabbed a exzecto knife and cut their population down (no pun intended) they squish pretty easy with a razor but can't see their egg's just thinking about catching the house on fire and starting over
I only see mayb 1or2 bites a wk I have 4 kids n a hubby that never gottn bite I was wondern is it somtin my body sending off
my sister called me a couple of day's ago and said she has bb , well she called housing and they can't come for 2 wks. meantime she is going crazy ! plus she already has mental issues, omg I feel so bad for her ,she keeps calling but there is nothing i can do.... told her about the alcohal ! hope this helps some I HATE BED BUGS,
Ive had them for two years and bug bombs and sprays rattle them up more steam cleaner doesn't work so I'm gonna try alcohol and vinegar and alcohol and keep u informed. Steam doestn work either
Hi Nick,
Steam cleaner does work but make sure you have the professional ones like what it was explained here http://www.usfreeads.com/2415531-cls.html.
Ordinary house steamer won't do a good job if the heat coming out from the nozzel is not of a high temperature.
Just found out I'm being invaded by these lil Basterds, and its killing my. What can I truly do my baby is being eating alive, he wakes up wit a new mark every day ...
Finally, after suffering from bed bugs from last 6 months...I got the effective & permanent solution. Yes it is a chemical called 'Navaan'! just go to any fertilizer/seed shop and ask for 250ml/60-70Rs... mix 2-4 caps in 1 liter water and spray in all cracks/cavities of your house .....you will sleep peacefully right from the next night ;)
Make sure two things 1)don't stay in room after spraying for next 12 hours 2)repeat spraying after one week without fail
Friends i have suffered a lot......hope it will help you :)
I just got out of the marine corp when I got home my current girlfriend now fiancee had bed bugs so one night I stayed up late with a flash light and caught a few of these little bastards and experimented on them with house hold cleaners windex works the best you watch them die right in front of your eyes this may sound like torture but I assure you they deserve everything they get so I suggest spraying everything down with windex let soak the clean thoroughly with hot water worked for us we are still together and spent less on winded than a exterminator
diatomaceous earth WORKS and is CHEAP from a pet store also works on ANTS because under a microscope it is jagged/sharp and dry dry i own apartments and used to be TERRIFIED by bed bugs because there is a new law in arizona that landlords are responsible for replacing beds couches and carpet in apartments no matter who brought them in this method will give you tranquility after youve been VIOLATED by bed bugs KNOW that you will prevail and that you have persistence on your side i think bed bugs hatch every 7-10 days and the eggs are VERY hard to kill so you must retreat every 10-14 days use DE (diatomaceous earth) around your baseboards to keep them from coming and going from your walls sprinkle it liberally on your bedframe and into your mattress and use a mattress cover with the bedbug label (walmart $27-35) wash and dry all your clothes, use a commercial steamer on suits and ties and couches, in the cracks in wood furniture where the wood pieces are joined, sprinkle carpet liberally or consider replacing with tile, remove your electric outlet plates and throw a small handful of DE diatomaceous eart in the socket/outlet box (put a piece of tape over the cord plug holes first) AND KNOW YOU WILL PREVAIL! THE BUGS WILL LOSE!
Tnx 2 u 4 d advice n information,i m seek n tired of dis little players,too much in the squad,i almost fed up 2 leave the house 4 them.since 3 years,findin solution 2 it,usin kerosine and rambo powder,mostly i use candle light 2 burn them but stil prove abortive,on d wall,my books,clothes mostly couch,as @ now i tink av gah more solution 2 it..
I hope these tips work. I have little money and I'm going insane. If all else fails we might moveto Arizona
:/
I've tried the rid spray and washing everything in hot water. Myself and my family are still getting bit please help!
i have had bed bugs for ever i live in a apt and they have heated it and i have had a pest contol come in and still only worked for a bit bc they only do my apt not everyone in my building i dont know what else to do i know bleach works but im to the point to leave everything and move
I'm assuming we brought ours frm storage. Haven't seen many but they r here.. Had Orkin come out but that was a waste of money.. What ever u you do don't ever call thm, they suck " no punn intended.. Going to try everything that I just read about.. Wish me luck...
Been using mixture of clorox and alchol
I have what i call "the procedure", i wrote up everything i have done and do to get rid of bed bugs and to keep them gone. I gave this procedure to my family members as well since they had them before me:/ The only thing is it is work, you cant really just spray and hope they are gone. Im sure the heat method would work however i for one can NOT afford that method, and i refuse to pay some professional to come by spray, then for them to have to come back in 2 weeks to spray again blah blah...........sorry its just a scam in my eyes. Im not giving up my rent money to continue to pay for that over and over again, otherwise ill lose my home and then why would i need a proffesional if i dont even have a home? Just a bunch of bs to me. All in their great plan to take our money and lots of it. If i could have afforded the heat treatment i would have done so. Since i did not i googled as many sites as i could for ideas on what i could do. I wrote them all down. Went to the grocery store that night and bought what i could afford and since it was a 24 hour grocery store. When i got paid i got the better supplies. So first night i got saran wrap from the grocery store (not great but it held up till i got paid, tape (black) and i wrapped and taped my entire bed,then sprayed the walls, floor boards etc with alcohol or canola oil. When i got paid i bought a box decorated it for humor for my family (called it "death to bed bugs kit" lol) and gave them my written down procedure. And since ive been doing this procedure i have not ONCE had another bite or seen another bug. So the way i see it is it must be working for its been over a month now. SUPPLIES:
1) steam mop (about 40 or 50 bucks
2) 2 mini steamers from cvs (i think 10 bucks each)
3) cayenne pepper, lavender oil, peppermint tea leaves, spray bottles and loads of alcohol (paid a dollar each, yall know what store that is;) )
4) vinyl zip up bed mattress ( for king size was like 12 bucks)
5)zip up pillow covers (2 bucks for each pillow)
6)sealant for the open cracks (5 bucks)
7) black tape (3 bucks)
8) mint leaves (less than 10 bucks)
all and all i think i spent about $120.00, not super cheap i know............ BUT much cheaper than paying over and over again for something that MIGHT work. I havent had to replace anything yet however when i do all it would have to be is the stuff that costs me a dollar each, for everything else should last me forever. I would also like to add that the stuff i found was suppose to be safe for pets as well.
MY PROCEDURE:
1)Took everything out of my drawers clothes, took all covers off beds, washed and dried EVERYTHING, dried several times. directly after i bagged up my clothes or put them in zip up bags ( had these already also a dollar), or boxes with lids (not sure what they are called. I simply get my clothes out of here as i need them and seal it back up. I will keep it like this forever if i have to. Im sure once you have seen your bug free for a month or two it would be safe to put them back in dresser drawers etc.
2)steamed my bed, i steamed EVERYTHING in my bedroom and i do mean everything!!!! Bed, walls, floors, stuffed animals EVERYTHING! vacummed floor. Put the mattress cover on my mattress (and will leave it there for 18 months, this is recommended time for them to be dead) Then sprayed lavender oil on there (not too much) plus put down some mint leaves, did the same for my pillows, also taped the zipper seam. once a week i will replace the mint leaves and spray the lavender oil.
3) sprayed infected areas with alcohol the first night, i now switch between that and the canola oil, i did this everynight the first week, now i do it every 2 or 3 days for im testing the waters here to see if its needed every day.I poured cayenne pepper near the entire floor board, for this kills them and unlike alcohol it doesnt just vanish afterwards. I re do the cayenne pepper once a week, i also put the cayenne pepper in my doorway to my bedroom. If you just put leaves there it will repel them for awhile but if they get hungry enough they will ignore the lavender oil or leaves and come for you anyways. So best bet is the canola oil and cayenne pepper to me. I only use the leaves on my nightstands, dresser drawers, and my bed. And i throw them out and replace them once a week.
4) I also got a sandwich bag poked little holes in it, added mint leaves, tied the top, and ive put those in my car, in my purse, anywhere that i was worried could carry them.
5) every single night before i go to bed i re steam my floors and bed, i usually clean bedding once a week, but i still steam my blankets, pillows bed and floors nightly. i usually vacuum 3 times a week, but the first week i was doing this procedure i steamed and vacuumed nightly.
6) when going to get dressed i use the mini steamers on those clothes before putting them on, they should be ok if there sealed up, but again iam paranoid, maybe im over doing stuff but the way i see it is, i have read about people having this for years, and to be honest i cant live like that, id rather be overly cautious and have nothing to worry about then to worry my life away having them:/ No offense to anyone i swear just stating why iam overly cautious:)
7) i sprayed my floor board cracks with alcohol on some and canola oil on others and then sealed the cracks up, every two or three nights i will go around and spray on top of there with alcohol or oil again being cautious.
8) when i found the bugs (after seeing my bites and knowing what some of my family members were going through) I searched my bed, found nothing (they could have been in the mattress), i found the bugs in my night stand (cracks in the legs of the table of it), my knick knacks on my night stand, and in the corner of my ceiling, so these are sneaky little devils, and before anyone asks yes iam 100% sure of what they are, i have done my homework lol. So i spray those areas every other night, again first week i did this every night. I also steam my dogs bed nightly.
9) sprayed alcohol, steamed and added mint leaves also between my mattress and box springs and do this weekly as well. when i steam my bed i steam the sides of it as well.
This is not simple, but its worked wonderfully, i have not been bitten since i started this procedure and i have not yet ONCE seen any bugs, If you have them through out your home, your gonna have to treat every room:/ Or lure them to your bedroom by continuing to sleep in there with no remedies and once you get them in there go crazy with alcohol, this procedure or whatever you can do. For if they all come to your bedroom its alot easier to get rid of them. And thats where they want to be unfortunetly:( So again alot of work but still cheaper and its looking more effective then what people are saying about getting people to come spray there home for months at a time. Good luck everyone , i wish yall the best of luck:)

We have bed bugs in our apartment.. the funny thing is they havent bit me because I smoke ciggaretts.. but my BF is bitten all over...
i thought I was the only person paranoid at the bugs I bought a mattress from a neighbor and 3 days later I started getting bit that was 1 month ago i thru away the mattress and used a spray clorox with water everyday and night I look for the little creeps Im glad to hear I'm not the only one I thought I was going crazy, thanks
Here's my story so I find out I have bed bugs I threw away my bed then I started sleeping on the sofa its been a week and there on the sofas too Omg what do I do. Now I'm thinking about throwing away my sofas too fml
Can you sue or break lease if landlord failed to mention the infestion of bed bugs or roaches. Or can they be held responsible for moving and replacing fees?
I've known many to battle these bastards but never had them in my house.I've been bit a lot and found solid deodorantto help the itch. My husband's mom and aunt has them and Last night I was greeted by vampires so now it's our turn to battle ugh
Bed bugs are ruining my life! I tried pretty much everything, pros, DE, alcohol washed all my clothes, I don't even think I have them anymore, I moved, left everything behind two days in my new Apto and I was bitten like never before! So I don't know what it is! I'm sleeping on an air mattress and still got bitten even inside my two butt cheeks, could it be something else?
We just found out a week ago that we had an infestation. I stayed up till midnight with a bottle of alcohol and sprayed all of them while everyone was sleeping. The next day I vacuumed a crap load. This is all a temporary solution. I just now bought the D.E. and put it ALL OVER OUR KIDS ROOM. The bugs are going nutts. They are crawling every where, it looks like it is working amazingly. Got the bag from Lowes, Garden State-Crawling Insect Killer. Read the reviews heard nothing but success storys. Its looking good so far
I have woken up with itching and a rash nearly all over my body ..... That was 2 days ago ... I have bathed in PINETARSAL but would like to know how to get rid of these little creeps!!!! To Jerry what is D.E.???
get boric acid powder, sprinkle around edge of bed, around edge of carpet etc. it will kill them and keep them from coming back. it also works on ants, and other insects around the home. exterminators wont tell you of this secret.
my family && i had found out we had these little critters about last winter && we bleached the entire house, it temporarily worked, so then we bought bed bug spray from freds, didn't work. we BOMBED the whole house && it still didn't work. we've tried everything, except the alcohol. Does this truly work?
