Have not heard of this working if only used in a room or two at a time since the bed bugs will move to adjacent rooms to escape and look for their next meal. Have only heard of this working in whole facilities or where the infestation can be isolated to a room or two. Insecticides are cheaper and if used with vacuming might be better alternative.
