Definitive Guide to Fighting Bed Bugs with Natural and Chemical Remedies

1. Recipe with Red Pepper (Capsaicin as a Repellent)

Red peppers contain capsaicin, a compound that irritates and repels bed bugs.

Ingredients:
2 fresh red hot peppers

2 cups water

1 tablespoon neutral liquid soap

Preparation:

Blend the peppers with the water until smooth.

Strain the liquid and mix it with the soap (it will help it adhere to surfaces).

Pour into a spray bottle and spray on suspected bed bugs (mattress seams, cracks, furniture).

Repeat every 3 days until the bugs are gone.

Caution: Avoid contact with eyes and sensitive skin, as capsaicin can cause irritation.
