Best Practices When Using Bedlam®

Test the surface first
Bedlam will not stain water-safe fabrics and surfaces. To make sure a surface is
water-safe, spray in an inconspicuous area to test for possible staining or discoloration.
Check after spray has dried; if staining has not occurred, proceed to spray area to
be treated.

Application tips
Shake well before each use. Vacate room after treatment and ventilate before
reoccupying. Spray only those garments, parts of bedding, including mattresses
and furniture that cannot be either laundered or dry-cleaned. Allow sprayed articles
and surfaces to dry thoroughly before using or replacing bedding.
Do not allow children or pets to contact treated areas until surface is dry.

Use Bedlam as part of an IPM program
Use Bedlam in conjunction with other products labeled for the control of bed bugs such
as Onslaught® Microencapsulated Insecticide for a comprehensive bed bug program.

Effective Bed Bug Application
For best results, in addition to treatment with Bedlam Insecticide, pest control
professionals should include additional tactics such as those listed below.

  • Conduct a thorough inspection to locate the infestation
  • Be certain to look in any harborages that offer the bed bug isolation and
    darkness, such as:
    • Behind wall hangings, pictures and mirrors
    • Behind electrical switch plates
    • In electronics such as radios and alarm clocks
    • Under rugs and floor coverings
    • In all nooks and crannies of nightstands
    • All parts of beds – headboards, footboards, mattress, box springs, frame
    • Remove and wash all bedding. Allow surfaces to dry thoroughly before using
      or replacing bedding.
    • Reduce and remove clutter from the room
    • Dispose of infested items that can be discarded
    • Encase or bag articles that may be infested, but will not be laundered or discarded
      • Remove bedding, clothing and other items that may be laundered or dry cleaned
      • Wash and dry on “high heat” dryer setting to achieve a temperature of 185°F
