However I’m not sure if it kills the eggs. You might need a repeat a few days later but that should take care of it. Look up bed bug fogger and see what you find including instructions for use. Good luck.

Regular bug bombs won't kill bed bugs. I'm a mostly DIY person but for bed bugs I'd pay a professional.


The real issue in the OPs case is that you can't control what your neighbors are doing. In college I lived in an apartment building full of roaches. We'd try to keep things clean and set traps and all the other things that you do to control roaches but we never could eradicate them. The management would periodically have the building fumigated and one of the pest control guys stated that some of our neighbors had way more roaches than we did.

Fire is your friend.
