Homemade Bed Bug Remedies: Natural Recipes That Work

Bed bugs bugging your Montreal home? Go natural with DIY fixes that repel or kill—without the chemical stink. In 2025, Montreal’s infestation spike (40x since 2005) has folks turning to eco-hacks for their North Shore or South Shore pads. Here’s what’s proven, straight from the trenches.

Natural Recipes to Try

• Diatomaceous Earth: Dust thin layer in cracks/seams—dries bugs out over weeks. Food-grade only, reapply every 3 days.
• Lavender/Tea Tree Oil: Mix 10 drops with water, spray seams—repels 20-40% for 48 hours. Refresh daily; no egg kill.
• Vinegar/Alcohol: 50/50 spray kills on contact—hit visible bugs. Evaporates fast, no residual.
• Soap Solution: Dish soap + water in spray bottle—suffocates on contact. Use after vacuuming.

How to Use

Apply to hideouts (mattress, furniture), pair with 100°C steam for boost. Vacuum eggs first—recipes don’t penetrate.
