Some you can spray your linens with and others you can treat around the sleeping areas. You can see from our previous post that some of these household items are just as good as some store-bought products that claim all-natural or organic spray. Of course, we don’t recommend these as a substitute for treating bed bugs professionally but here are some products around the house that you can use to get rid of bed bugs fast.
