Mineral oil can potentially suffocate bed bugs by coating them and blocking their spiracles, which are their breathing openings. However, it is not considered an effective or reliable method for eliminating bed bugs, as it may not reach all bugs or their eggs. For comprehensive bed bug control, it's recommended to use proven insecticides or professional pest control services.

What are the worst things to do when trying to figure out how to get rid of bedbugs?
Finding out they actually spread if you move couches, sofas or other furniture. To keep my bed bed bug free, I threw away my wooden headboard. Though I loved the way it looked, I had found many eggs there and the thought of keeping it stressed me out. Instead, I bought a cheap metal frame. Bed bugs don't like to live in metal. I moved the bed a foot from the wall on all sides so no bed bugs could crawl up the wall into the bed. I placed each foot of the bed frame in special bed bug traps. You can make traps yourself by pouring mineral oil in a small container and sticking the foot of each bed in the container. You could also coat the leg of each bed in double-sided carpet tape.This way you can see if any bugs are trying to get to you.
Will cedar oil kill bed bugs?
YES! If you use Nature's Defender which has Cedar Oil and Silane. This is a contact killer. The silane makes each molecule of cedar 8 times more potent. The cedar must contact the bug or larvae to kill it. This will happen within 40 seconds of the smallest drop. I bought this product online at Ohio Cedar Oil and tested it myself.Thank you.-I would like to add that while Cedar Oil may be a contact killer, it will not be sufficient to rid a residence of bed bugs. You must use heat or a residual killer. Most bed bugs only come out at night, so if you spray the bugs you find during the day, there are probably hundreds that you didn't get. You will need a PCO to coat your bed, mattress, other furniture, baseboards, and outlet covers with a residual killer, so any bug that contacts that place later will die.Contact killers may give you more confidence, but they cannot solve the problem alone.
