The time in which Bayer Advanced Home Pest & Germicide RTU and most other residual insecticides kills a bedbug or any other pest is a large variable. It depends on how recently the product was sprayed, the dosage rate used on the label, how healthy or mature the bedbug was, and how long it spent on the treated surface to pick up product on its body. All of these factors play into the time of death of an insect which could be anywhere from minutes after getting the product on them, to a day or so for complete death of the individual insect. Bed bug treatments in total normally take a mininum of 4-5 treatments about every 7-10 days or until you can go 30 days consecutively with no bites or signs of live bed bugs. Please take a look at our guide on how to treat bedbugs here.
