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!

Not very effective against bed bugs, August 29, 2008
I am not sure how it works with other insects and bugs, but if you are looking to use this as a bed bug killer,it didn't do the job for me. It does kill them allright, but only if you spray them directly on them bugs, plus the effect does not seem to last for long.I sprayed around my mattress,box spring and frame before i went to sleep and work up with bites around 3 AM.The effect is short lived and it does not repel them.
There are much better and cheaper products for bed bugs like Pronto and SteriFab.
The one good thing is that is eco friendly and does not have a chemical smell and can be used on your mattress and pillows.But i wouldn't recommend this for bed bugs.

Motel Room peace of mind., August 13, 2009
I am just not comfortable staying in most motel rooms these days, and not just the cheap ones either! Prior to going on a recent extended trip I bought this product and used it as directed on the bedroom area at each motel. I never saw any evidence of bugs, so I'll assume the product did what it was supposed to do. Five Stars!
