The DIY Bed Bug Toolkit on a Budget

Handheld Steam Cleaner: Directs heat into cracks and fabrics.
UV Flashlight: Helps spot bed bug stains and hidden clusters.

You don’t need an exterminator’s truck full of chemicals. A smart, budget-friendly toolkit will get the job done. Here’s what to stock:

Bed Bug Sprays (Amazon): Formulated to kill both bugs and eggs. Look for EPA-approved products.
Formula 409 (Emergency Backup): Available 24/7 at most stores—kills live bugs on contact when professional sprays aren’t handy.
Vacuum with Hose Attachment: Essential for sucking up bugs, eggs, and shed skins.
Mattress & Box Spring Encasements: Lock bugs in and prevent new ones from moving in.
Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade): A powder that dries out and kills bugs crawling through it.

Interceptor Traps: Placed under bed and couch legs to catch crawling bugs.
Heavy-Duty Plastic Bags & Bins: For sealing laundry and clutter during treatment.
Heat (Dryer): The cheapest egg-killer. High heat for 30+ minutes destroys all life stages.
Caulk & Sealants: To close cracks and hiding spots.

Key Takeaway: You don’t need $1,500 for exterminators. With less than $100–$200, you can assemble everything needed for a successful DIY victory.
