FAQ
1. Does clove oil really kill bedbugs?

Yes. Clove oil contains eugenol, which damages the nervous system of bedbugs and helps repel them.

2. Is this spray safe for children and pets?

The spray is safer than chemical pesticides, but clove oil can be strong. Allow surfaces to dry before letting pets or children near treated areas.

3. Can I use this instead of professional pest control?

For mild infestations, this natural method can help reduce or eliminate bedbugs. Severe infestations often require a professional exterminator.

4. How long before I see results?

You may notice a reduction within a few days, but complete elimination typically requires consistent treatment for 1–2 weeks.

5. Can I spray this on my mattress?

Yes—lightly. Avoid over-saturating fabrics and always let them dry fully.
