Why is Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide not recommended to be used as the sole product to treat for bed bugs?

Answer:

We always recommend using more than one product to combat a bed bug infestation. While Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide is a great product to use in this process, it is just one in a combination that we recommend. Phantom is really only labeled to be sprayed around cracks and crevices and baseboard areas, so you would not be able to apply it in all of the areas that would need to be treated for bed bugs. That is why we recommend other products as well, such as those that our found in our Bed Bug Control Kits.  Using a combination of products will allow you to treat areas like the tufts and seams of your mattresses and box springs, inside dresser drawers, night stands, underneath furniture cushions, and inside electrical outlets and light switch plates. All of these areas are critical in the elimination of a bed bugs infestation. For more information on recommended products and where to use them, please take a look at our Bed Bug Control Guide
