Bed Bug females lay about 200 eggs, usually at the rate of 3 or 4 a day, in cracks and crevices in the floor or bed. Eggs are placed in cracks, crevices and other isolated and protected shelters. Females lay eggs after a blood meal. Eggs will hatch in one or two weeks into Nymphs. Newly hatched bugs (Nymphs) begin feeding immediately. At room temperature, and with an available food supply, (humans) the Nymphal period will last 14 to 30 days. They shed their skin (Instar) five times before becoming adults. Bed Bugs will mate soon after becoming mature, so the time from egg hatch to egg laying will be 4 to 9 weeks, under favourable conditions.

Bed Bug Habits:
Bed Bugs hide in cracks and crevices during daylight hours. They also hide in the folds and tufts of mattresses, coils of springs, cracks and hollow posts of bed stands, bed rails and headboards. They may be found in box springs, inside the cabinetry of furniture and the bottom and sides of drawers. They also can be found behind loose wallpaper, behind pictures on the walls, under door and window casings and behind baseboards. They also hide in upholstery of chairs and sofas.

How To Get Rid Of Bed Bugs, Pre-treatment Procedures

• Reduce clutter to make inspection easier
• Dismantle the bed frames to expose possible bedbug hiding sites
• Remove drawers from desks and dressers and turn furniture over, if possible, to inspect and clean all hiding spots
• Stand up the box spring and shine a flashlight through the gauze fabric to expose bed bugs
• If the gauze fabric is torn, remove completely and put in a sealed plastic bag
• Thoroughly scrub the infested area with a stiff brush to dislodge any eggs
• Vacuum in every area where there is a possibility of bed bugs. Vacuum along baseboards, nearby furniture, bed stands, rails, headboards, footboards, bed seams, tufts, buttons, edges of the bedding as well as the edges of the carpets. A good vacuum  cleaning job may remove particles from cracks and crevices to allow better spraying penetration
• Discard vacuum cleaner bag in a sealed plastic bag when finished

Getting Rid Of Bed Bugs:

• Pour the OFG 2000 Bed Bug Spay into a spray pump bottle. A fine mist is best for most spraying. For cracks and crevices you should adjust the spray to a stream spray.
• Spray the entire mattress generously, making sure to get in all bed seams, tufts, buttons and edges. Spray the entire box sprin.
• Spray inside and under drawers, don’t worry, the OFG 2000 Bed Bug Spray is non toxic to children and pets.
• Apply a stream type spray to crevices, baseboards, loose plaster, behind headboards, etc.
• A re-treatment should be done every 10 days, for a couple months to stop the life cycle of the Bed Bug.

The ingredients in the OFG 2000 Bed Bug Spray are: Alkanolamines, Amino Acids, Non – Ionic Surfactants, Fatty Acids and Organic Alcohol in a base of Colloidal Micelles.

Methods

Bed bugs and cockroaches were collected from a Toronto Community Housing Project under the supervision of a representative of Toronto Health Services. They were collected by gently removing them from furniture and floors using a new grooming brush. They were placed gently into a plastic container which contained fabric from an old mattress to keep them warm and protected. Various life stages of the bugs were collected and maintained at room temperature. We did not separate the sexes nor determined the percentage of male to female. These tests were performed by Don Williams and Graham Gordon of OFG 2000 at our facilities located at Newcastle, Ontario.

Knockdown and Mortality Experiment

A total of three tests were performed. First test was performed using one bed bud and one spray of a trigger spray bottle, using OFG 2000 Bed Bug product resulting in a 30 second knockdown and mortality death in approximately two minutes. The second test was one larger bed bug sprayed twice 30 seconds apart resulting in a mortality death under sixty seconds. The third test included using seven bed bugs and three cockroaches ( various life stages ) a complete saturation was performed to duplicate real life treatment standards. Results of this test showed an immediate knockdown and death of the bed bugs. The cockroaches were knocked down in approximately 10 to 20 seconds and died in approximately 90 second to 3 minutes.

Results

• Knockdown efficacy of the bed bugs was 100% immediate.
• Knockdown efficacy of the cockroaches was 100% in 10 to 20 seconds.

Mortality rate of all bugs will be determined by volume of product used and how often it is applied, however, our findings show 100% death rate from use of OFG 2000 Bed Bug product. Also the bed bugs and cockroaches were examined 24 hours later and confirmed they were still dead!

Note

OFG 2000 Bed Bug Product is 100% organic and pose no threat to humans, pets, fish and birds etc.

• We first lined a plastic tray with a white cloth measuring ten by sixteen inches.
• We then saturated three to four inches of one end of the cloth with our Organic Solution Bed Bug spray.
• We then put 6 or 7 bed bugs on the treated area to determine if the bugs would avoid the treated area.
  3 bed bugs died immediately and 4 repelled.

For test two, which we called Saturation Exposure Test, we put 10 bed bugs on the cloth. 80% died on contact, with the second exposure, 90% died within 20 minutes. One bed bug which was not sprayed directly was removed from the test cloth and placed in a non sprayed container. This bug was still alive 18 hours later.

We conclude that the Organic Bed Bug Spray is effective for killing bed bugs when sprayed on contact and will also safeguard from infestation as a repeller.

We have also determined indirect exposure results in death.

Footnote: Some bed bugs could not be seen on this video due to their early stages of life.
