Do Bug Bombs Really Work?
A bug bomb is a type of pest control treatment that releases a pesticide fog into a home or business to exterminate the insects within. Bug bombs, also known as "foggers," are often used against such common pests as cockroaches, fleas, and spiders. It's important to follow all safety precautions when using bug bombs, as the pesticide can lead to illness if inhaled. Because they can reach well-hidden cracks and crevasses where pests often hide, bug bombs can be very effective at wiping out pest infestations. However, there are some mitigating factors that can prevent bug bombs from working.
Bug bombs are best used in enclosed areas where the fog will have a chance to reach every nook and cranny. When bug bombs are used in areas that are too large or laid out in such a way that the pesticide has a difficult time spreading, the results may be disappointing. While bug bombs can reach areas that are often missed by traditional pesticide applications, they may still not kill insects that are hidden deep within walls or under the floor. Because the coverage of bug bombs is imperfect, this method of pest control will usually be most effective when paired with other techniques, such as setting traps for pests and blocking off pest entry points into your home or commercial building.
