Common DIY Bed Bug Mistakes: What Makes It Worse

Tackling bed bugs DIY in your Montreal home? Screw up, and you’re feeding the problem. In 2025, Montreal’s infestation explosion (40x since 2005) shows DIY flops are common in North Shore or South Shore pads. Avoid these pitfalls to keep it from getting uglier.

Top DIY Fails

• Fogger Fiasco: Bombs scatter bugs to neighbors—kills nothing long-term.
• Egg Oversight: Sprays miss 1mm eggs—hatch in 6-10 days.
• Cold Wash Waste: Below 40°C does zip—eggs thrive.
• Clutter Chaos: Leftover junk hides ‘em—declutter first.
• Delay Delay: Waiting worsens spread—infestation doubles in weeks.

Why It Backfires

Missed eggs breed resistance; foggers push bugs deeper—2-4 weeks, you’re overrun.
