Seems to work, has an interesting smell, January 4, 2010
This review is from: Bed Bugs, Scabies, Mites, Lice are eliminated with 32oz ELF for Bed Bugs from Eco Living Friendly, a 100% environmentally friendly solution to your Bed Bug, Scabies, Mites, Fleas, and insect problems. New Guaranteed Formula. EPA (exempt), FDA (GRAS) Safe Ingredients. (32 oz Pre-Mix in ready to use Sprayer Bottle) (Health and Beauty)
I bought this because it is safe for pets...couldn't risk the health of my puppy. I used it as directed when I found two bedbugs that migrated from my neighbor's apartment. It work really well, but be advised that there is a smell. No, it's not offensive or nauseating, but it's definitely different and you'll notice it up to 2 hours after use. So be sure to open the window if you use a large amount.

No new bites or blood spots on my sheets!!! What a Relief!, November 1, 2008

Having chronic allergies to toxic chemicals and household exposures, I decided to give natural ELF for Bed Bugs a try with some skepticism after a recent alarming outbreak. I am now spraying ELF for Bed Bugs as directed in every room that I detected and suspected Bed Bugs. I also tested the solution on my forearm without any reaction. It has no chemical smell and doesn't affect my allergies. So far, there have been no new bites or blood spots on my sheets in the morning! But I have found bed bug remains to vacuum up by the back edge of my headboard.
I have tried to follow the directions carefully and treated the entire surfaces of my Mattress and box springs, on every side...then sprayed my bed frame, head board, foot board, carpeting, and the rest of the furniture like they said. I also noticed a couple of cracks near the wall outlets and corners that look like possible nesting areas, so I was very careful to spray without directly wetting the live plugs.
The instructions also had me spray and inspect all my furniture, baseboards, curtains, pictures, especially furniture just gotten from somewhere else (they say that this is one of the more common ways that the Bed Bugs arrive on the scene). In my case, I had just moved some things back from the lake house. At first it seemed like a nuisance, but it really is better being clean, organized, and Bed Bug Free again!
I sprayed the solution everywhere I found that bugs can hide and have repeated every day now. I'm going to spray every day for a week. Then as the directions say, use it every other day for another week. That makes sense to me, because as eggs may hatch, and they probably will, that should knock out the new babies and cut the cycle.
Another great benefit I was happy to discover is that ELF safely kills fleas and mites without inflaming the old hot spots on one of our dogs. That has been truly amazing and a relief to him, so I'm going to recommend ELF to our Vet and anyone who wants to safely kill small aggravating bugs dead!

Simply doesn't work, January 25, 2011

Bought this product due to relatively positive reviews.
I sprayed directly onto a live bed bug, not once but 3 times.
After 2 hours it is still alive and well. This is actually a smaller bug.
Very disappointing considering things around the house could probably do a better job at this.
