Rest Easy Bed Bug Spray

I sprayed this around the bed and on the sheets, though the product suggests that you may not need to spray bedding directly (and that it might stain) but my deep red (ironic, I know) sheets didn't show any signs of staining. The product seemed vague as to whether the spray deters or kills bed bugs, but I did spill a drop on my finger and it stung for an hour, even after washing immediately. I put on gloves after that and let everything dry well before sleeping. I've yet to have a bed bug problem when traveling, but believe this would act as a good deterrent for a night or two's stay. Others have mentioned the smell, and it is a very strong cinnamon aroma. It's a bit like turning your room into a pack of Big Red, but that was mitigated with air freshener. Keep a window open just in case. I don't have any chemical sensitivities but the smell got overwhelming in a few spots. Rating 4 stars because I only just used the product yesterday and managed to sleep through the night... Read more

I bought this product after discovering that we had a problem. One day my husband decided to test it on one particularly brave little critter. He sprayed a ring around it and can you believe that it kept still because it had no where to go. It created an actual barrier that the bed bug would not pass. After seeing this we sprayed the mattresses down and any upholstery. Everything died! I was truly amazed. We've since moved out and gotten rid of everything. I highly recommend this product to anyone that needs it. The only down side for me was the smell. It smells exactly like a pack of Dentyne Gum (Magnified by 100%). So be sure to keep windows open.

At first I was skeptical about the product. But I had to go on two business trips and with all the news about bed bugs I figured I'd take a shot and buy the Rest Easy. Prior to traveling I actually called the manufacturer and asked how the product was to be used. They told me this was a preventitive only and would not be effective if you had an infestation. If you did then you needed to call a professional and then use Rest Easy as a preventitive. The 2oz was for when I traveled to hotel's so that I would not get bitten. They told me to spray around the bed, in the dresser drawers, in the closet, some on the carpet and some around the base boards. They also said that if I sprayed the bed and sheets to make sure it dried before laying in it. By doing this I would creat a barrier to protect me against getting bitten. And also that if the bugs came in contact with the oils, that it would stick to their shell and also kill them. They said for me to spray inside my luggage right before I le... Read more

The product does not work as advertised. It kills the bugs if you manage to spray "on" them. This product is no solution for bed bug infestation even on a temporary basis.

This product absolutely works as advertised. We actually experienced bed bugs at a posh hotel last year. We had no idea what the bites were from until we did some research. After that incident we now take it wherever we go. This is our third time buying this product and I would recommend it over any other bed bug spray out in the market. The 2oz travel size is great for trips and best of all it's all natural and the product kills all other small insects. We spray this on ants and spiders when we get them in the house and within 5 seconds they are dead...which is one reason we've had to order it 3 times. One thing though. You have to shake this very good for the full effect.
