About this product

The REPELEM Bed Bug Killer – Strong Killer is a powerful spray designed to tackle bed bug infestations effectively throughout your home. It’s ideal for homeowners and renters struggling with these persistent pests, offering a comprehensive solution that goes beyond simply killing existing bugs. This 1-litre bottle provides an all-in-one treatment formulated to target bed bugs at every stage of their lifecycle – from newly hatched nymphs to fully grown adults and crucially, their eggs.

This water-based formula is designed for ease of use, allowing you to apply the spray directly to mattresses, carpets, soft furnishings, and cracks and crevices where bed bugs like to hide. The inclusion of a growth regulator within the treatment helps prevent reinfestation by interrupting the reproduction cycle of these resilient insects, offering lasting protection – typically for 6-12 weeks. It’s versatile enough to be used on a variety of surfaces around your home, unlike some specialist mattress protectors or traps.

The REPELEM Bed Bug Killer is formulated with 0.1% w/w cypermethrin and boasts low toxicity, making it safe for use in occupied rooms. However, please note that the strong chemical scent may be noticeable during application, so adequate ventilation is recommended. Always follow the instructions carefully and avoid direct contact with pet bedding.

This product provides a robust approach to pest control, offering significant peace of mind against bed bug infestations. It’s an efficient solution for those seeking lasting protection and eradication of these unwelcome guests from their homes.
