About this product
The Zero In Bed Bug Killer Spray offers a targeted solution for tackling troublesome bed bugs and dust mites within your home. Designed for use in bedrooms and other areas where these pests thrive, this spray provides effective control and helps to create a healthier environment. It’s particularly well-suited for homeowners or renters who have experienced an infestation or are looking to proactively prevent future problems – especially those concerned about allergies.
This clear, water-based formula from STV International is formulated without harsh solvents, meaning it's odourless and won't stain fabrics or mattresses. The 500ml bottle contains cypermethrin, a key ingredient in its effectiveness against both bed bugs and dust mites on contact. This spray treatment is ideal for use on mattresses, beds, and surrounding furniture, focusing specifically on areas where these pests are likely to hide.
The water-based composition offers a safe and convenient option compared to solvent-based alternatives. However, it’s worth noting that achieving full mattress treatment may require multiple applications to ensure complete eradication. For best results, we recommend following the product instructions carefully and applying generously to affected areas.
This single unit contains 500ml of the spray, delivered in a convenient bottle for targeted application. Remember to always consult the manufacturer’s date printed on the product to ensure freshness and effectiveness.
