Three problems VA88 was built to solve

Resistance

Problem
Some bed bug populations now survive the nerve-agent sprays that have been sold for decades.
Solution
VA88 kills mechanically on contact, so there is no known resistance to it.

Re-entry

Problem
Conventional treatments mean hours out of the room and a chemical smell that lingers.
Solution
No re-entry wait. Spray, let it dry, remake the bed, and the room is back in service.

Repeat cost

Problem
Exterminator visits run hundreds of dollars per room and often need a second call.
Solution
One 32 oz jug treats a room, and the dried film keeps protecting treated surfaces for up to 12 months when used as directed.

Technical Details

Finally — a bed bug treatment made for the place you sleep.

Bed bugs hide in the one spot you can't avoid: your mattress, your box spring, the seams and cracks inches from where you rest. That's exactly why most bed bug sprays are a problem — you're putting harsh chemicals where you spend eight hours a night, then waiting hours to re-enter your own bedroom.

VA88 is built differently. It's plant-derived actives instead of conventional neurotoxins — engineered for direct application to mattresses, box springs, and bed frames. No evacuating the room. No re-entry wait. No lingering chemical odor. Just a treatment you can actually use where bed bugs actually live.

Why VA88

  • Plant-derived active ingredients — a minimum-risk (EPA 25(b)) formulation
  • Made for direct application to sleeping areas — mattress seams, box springs, frames, baseboards
  • No waiting to re-enter and no harsh chemical smell
  • After the spray dries, microscopic active agents stay on treated surfaces, so bed bugs are forced to crawl through them. When hatchlings emerge from eggs you couldn't see, they cross the treated surface and the mechanical kill dries them out — stopping an infestation before it can restart, for up to 12 months from a single application. 

How to use

  1. Shake well before use.
  2. Identify harborage areas: mattress seams and tufts, box spring corners, headboard joints, bed frame cracks, and nearby baseboards or furniture seams.
  3. Hold [6–8 inches] from the surface and spray until lightly and evenly damp — don't saturate.
  4. Pay special attention to seams, folds, and cracks where bed bugs shelter.
  5. Allow to dry before remaking the bed. 
  6. Repeat every year per room as needed, or after laundering bedding, to address bugs that emerge from hidden harborage.

For heavy or established infestations, combine with laundering bedding on high heat and inspecting adjacent furniture.

Important Documents


EPA Registration Status

This product qualifies for exemption from registration with the United States Environmental Protection Agency under FIFRA Section 25(b) because all active ingredients are classified as minimum risk pesticides. All ingredients comply with the EPA list of allowed substances for 25(b) pesticide products.

Bed Bug Killer Mechanism of Action

How Our Bed Bug Killer Works — The Science of Mechanical Kill

VA88 kills bed bugs physically — it dries them out instead of poisoning their nervous system. No nerve target means no known way for them to resist.

Kill Pathway Sequence
01
ContactPlant oils coat the bed bug and dissolve its waxy outer layer — the barrier that holds its water in. Sprays deep into the seams and cracks where bugs hide.
02
BreakdownWith the wax layer gone, the bug loses water fast — and the oils seal its breathing pores at the same time.
03
DehydrationVA88 kills exposed bed bugs on contact, near instantly; the lab bioassays are on our evidence page. Then Residulen takes over: an encapsulated residual stays on treated surfaces and keeps killing on contact for up to 12 months.

Application Protocol

How to Apply Bed Bug Killer Spray

VA88 is ready-to-use and should not be diluted. Apply using a hand pump sprayer or professional sprayer to lightly coat surfaces where bed bugs may hide.

Four steps, about 10 minutes per roomFor Best Results guide (PDF)
  1. Technician kneeling with a flashlight, checking a mattress seam
    Step 1Prepare the roomStrip linens, cushions, and the mattress clear of the frame. Check seams, tufts, and headboard joints with a flashlight so you know where to focus.
  2. Technician pouring VA88 from the jug into a clean pump sprayer
    Step 2Fill a clean sprayerShake well, then pour VA88 into a clean, dedicated pump sprayer. It is ready to use: do not dilute, and do not mix with anything else.
  3. Technician applying VA88 with a pump sprayer wand along the base of a bed
    Step 3Spray every hiding placeSweep steady, overlapping passes for light, even coverage, not soaked: mattress seams and tufts, box spring corners, headboard joints, frame cracks, nearby baseboards, furniture seams, and carpet edges.
  4. Technician logging the treatment date on a clipboard, sprayer at his side
    Step 4Let it dry, then remake the bedOnce surfaces are dry the room goes back into service. The dried film keeps protecting treated surfaces for up to 12 months when used as directed. Log the date and room, and re-treat at your 7-day check if activity was heavy.

What to Expect

Your treatment timeline.

Day 0

Treat the room

Spray seams, frames, baseboards, and harborages. Hard surfaces dry in 15–30 minutes — re-enter as soon as they're dry. No evacuation, no fumes.

First 48 Hours

Live activity drops off

Bed bugs that touch treated surfaces dry out and die — on contact, near instantly in lab testing. Live activity falls off fast.

Day 7

Inspect & spot-treat

Re-check seams, tufts, and frame joints with a flashlight and spot-treat anything new. Stragglers and fresh hatches die on the treated surface.

Months 1–12

Residual keeps working

The residual keeps killing on contact for up to 12 months. Re-apply at the annual deep clean to reset for another year.
