What Does Bed Bug Spray Do to Humans

The chemicals used to kill bed bugs can cause symptoms including dizziness, difficulty breathing, seizures, loss of consciousness, eye irritation, skin irritation or rash, contact dermatitis, sweating, headache, nausea. The severity of effects depends on how long and how concentrated the exposure was.

What happens if you breathe in bed bug spray?

Breathing difficulty. Coughing. Loss of alertness (stupor), from the blood oxygen level being out of balance. Tremors (if a large amount is swallowed)

Can you sleep in your bed after bed bug treatment?

You may continue to sleep in your bed after treatment. Encasements should be put on mattresses and box springs. Any surviving bed bugs in the mattress or box spring will not be able to escape the encasement or bite.
