Bed Bug Remedies: Does Soap, Vinegar, Alcohol Work?

Bed bugs plaguing your Montreal home? Soap, vinegar, and alcohol are DIY darlings, but do they deliver? In 2025, Montreal’s infestation spike (40x since 2005) has folks trying these hacks for North Shore or South Shore relief. Let’s see what sticks.

How They Work

• Soap Solution: Dish soap + water spray suffocates by breaking exoskeletons—kills on contact.
• Vinegar: 1:1 water mix kills visible bugs with acetic acid—no lasting power.
• Alcohol: 70%+ solution zaps on contact—evaporates fast.

Application Tips

• Spray It: Hit seams, cracks—reapply every 2-3 days.
• Combine It: Pair with vacuuming or 100°C steam for deeper kill.
• Limit: No egg effect—surface-only fix.
