I'm sharing my story to help anyone out there who thinks it "could never happen to me" – because that's exactly what I thought, too.
I Never Thought It Could Happen to Me
I’ve always prided myself on keeping a very clean home in a nice suburban neighborhood. We
have weekly cleaning routines, fresh sheets, the works. Bed bugs were the furthest thing from my mind.
So imagine my shock when, a few weeks after bringing some old furniture out of storage, I woke up one morning around 8 AM with strange bitemarks on my ankle. I froze
in disbelief. Could these be bed bugs?!
My first instinct was panic. I practically flipped out when I did some digging in my bedroom and found the culprit – a bed bug.
In a frenzy, I called a professional extermination company that advertised “bed bug solutions.”
In hindsight, that was my first mistake.
They quoted me a fortune, but I didn’t care at that moment – I wanted those bloodsuckers gone immediately. I signed the contract on the spot. By the time it was over, I had spent nearly $5,000 on their so-called treatment... and I still had bed bugs crawling around.
You can imagine my outrage. I gave the company an earful – angry calls, demands for answers
– but it all fell on deaf ears. I felt helpless and cheated.
Still determined, I marched into a big home improvement store and bought every bed bug spray, powder, and fogger they had on the shelf. That evening, my house probably looked like a chemical war zone: I
sprayed and “bombed” every room, determined to kill these intruders. The harsh chemical smell
was overwhelming, but I was desperate.
Over the next week, I learned the hard way that getting rid of bed bugs takes more than just chemicals. Every morning, I was vacuuming every corner of my home and washing loads of bedding
and clothes on the hottest setting. I was literally losing sleep over this – waking
up at all hours to check for bugs.
Despite my efforts, the bites continued and I’d still spot a bug here or there. It was
downright infuriating and exhausting.
At this point I was physically and emotionally drained. (Did I mention bed bugs are nocturnal? They come out when you’re trying to sleep, which meant night after night of
itching and anxiety for me.) I understood why sleep deprivation is used as torture –
I felt like I was living a nightmare.
In a quiet moment at 3 AM, after yet another failed attempt at rest, I sat at my computer and searched for DIY bed bug solutions. I knew there had to be something I hadn’t tried.
That’s when I stumbled upon Say Bye Bugs – a bed bug spray people were raving about in online forums and reviews. It claimed to be non-toxic and pet-safe, which honestly was a relief because I was sick of
soaking my house in poisonous chemicals (and I have a dog I didn’t want to put in danger). The
skeptic in me said, “Probably too good to be true,” but at that point I had nothing to lose.
The satisfaction guarantee they offered helped too.
I went to the official site and ordered two 16 oz bottles of the spray. It
arrived at my door in just a few days, and I was eager to give it a shot.
The first thing I noticed was that it has almost no odor – a nice change
from the choking fumes of the store-bought sprays. I started in the bedroom. I sprayed behind every picture frame on the walls, along the baseboards, in
the tiny cracks in the bed frame, everywhere I knew those bugs liked to hide.
Sure enough, I spotted a few of the little vampires scurrying out – and to my amazement, , they died literally seconds after I sprayed them. I remember actually sobbing with relief when I saw it kill them on contact.
Encouraged, I went through each room methodically: underneath my furniture
(I even flipped over my armchair and coffee table), around the mattress and box spring seams,
in closet corners – no spot was safe. I was on a mission.
Knowing that just a few surviving bed bugs can turn into hundreds in a short time, I was determined to be thorough. Every day, I kept up my routine: vacuuming, doing loads of laundry, and spritzing any suspect area with SayByeBugs
Within a couple of days, the tide started to turn. The bites became less frequent and then
stopped completely. I wasn’t waking up to that telltale itch or the blood spots on the sheets.
By about the second-week mark, I realized I had actually slept through the night – a full eight hours of blissful, bite-free sleep – for the first time in over a few months. The sense of relief and victory I felt was incredible. This safe, DIY spray succeeded where the expensive exterminator and all those store sprays had failed miserably.
If I hadn’t experienced it myself, I might not have believed it. But here I was, finally getting my home and sanity back. I live in Texas, where we have all sorts of creepy crawlies (I’ve dealt with cockroaches, ants – you name it), but nothing ever tormented me like these resilient bed bugs did.
I also learned that bed bugs don’t care how clean or “nice” your home is. Even five-star
hotels and luxury cruise ships have had bed bug infestations. It’s usually kept hush-hush,
for obvious reasons, but trust me – nobody is immune to this problem. Bed
bugs can hitch a ride from anywhere: that storage unit, a hotel, public transport, a movie
theater seat, even a visitor’s clothing.
Time Is of the Essence in This Battle
If there’s one thing I learned, it’s that time is of the essence when it comes to
exterminating these pests. The longer you ignore the problem, the more they multiply and
the harder it gets.
Looking back, I wish I had found SayByeBugs sooner. It would have saved me a lot of money, stress, and countless sleepless nights.
If I hadn’t discovered this spray when I did, I honestly don’t know what I would have done – I was even considering selling my house and moving, just to escape the infestation
(a pretty extreme and impractical idea, I know). Nonetheless, even with such move you still
risk carrying them with you, so yeah…
Now that I’m bed-bug-free, I’ve become that person who is extra cautious. If I travel, I spray my luggage down with SayByeBugs outside before bringing it back in the house. I also always wash my clothes after each travel. Some
might call it paranoid; I call it being proactive. After what I went through, you’d be paranoid too!
My advice to anyone dealing with bed bugs – or anyone worried it could happen to them – is this: do yourself a favor and get a bottle of this spray in your hands ASAP. In fact, everyone should have at least one bottle of SayByeBugs at home just in case. Hopefully you’ll never need it, but if you do, you’ll be ready to act fast.
I cannot thank the makers of SayByeBugs enough for providing an affordable, easy-to-use solution that finally gave me
my home (and my peace of mind) back. And just to be clear, I’m not being paid to say any of this
– I wrote this because I don’t want anyone else to go through the hell I went through. Bed bugs are a nightmare, but with the right tools and persistence, you can
wake up from that nightmare and get your life back to normal.
For anyone ready to take action, you can order the spray from the official site (it’s not sold in stores). Just visit www.SayByeBugs.com – ordering online was a breeze for me, and they shipped it out quickly. The formula is
family-safe and pet-friendly, but absolutely devastating to bed bugs on contact. I’m so grateful I found it, and I truly hope my story helps you find the same relief.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my unfortunate encounter with these awful bed
bugs. Wishing you a peaceful, bug-free home!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It’s encouraging to know I’m not alone in this and that there’s actually hope for a solution.

Does this spray also kill the bed bug eggs? And what is the main ingredient that makes it work?

Bed Bug Guide
Hi George, the SayByeBugs spray uses a highly effective water-based formula that reacts with the bed bugs’ exoskeleton and kills them on contact. It even targets eggs by breaking down their protective layers. You can check the official site for the full ingredient list, but the key is that it’s non-toxic to people and pets, yet lethal to bed bugs.

How can I tell if I have bed bugs? I haven’t seen any bugs, but I wake up with itchy bites sometimes. I’m not sure what to look for.

Bed Bug Guide
Hi Isabel, there are a few telltale signs. First, try inspecting the seams of your mattress and behind your headboard. Bed bugs often leave behind dark specks of excrement or even shed skins in those areas. If you have bed bugs, you might also notice reddish stains on your sheets from crushed bugs. And of course, the bites themselves: bed bug bites often appear in small clusters or lines on exposed skin (arms, shoulders, neck, etc.). If you’re seeing itchy red bites in the morning, that’s a strong indicator. It might be time to do a thorough search of your bed and surrounding furniture. Good luck!

OMG, this stuff works like magic!!! I sprayed as directed and watched bed bugs literally drop dead. I can’t believe I finally found something that actually works. Thank you for this recommendation!

I found one bed bug in my house and freaked out. I even had a professional exterminator come inspect and spray, but they didn’t find any more and told me not to worry. Still, I’m paranoid there might be others hiding. Should I leave it alone now or try SayByeBugs as a precaution?

Hello Cindy, if you found even one bed bug, it’s smart to stay on guard. SayByeBugs spray is great to have “just in case.” Even if the exterminator didn’t find more, there could be eggs or stragglers they missed. Having a bottle on hand means if you notice another bug or any bites, you can take quick action and spray around your bed and furniture immediately. In your shoes, I’d use the spray proactively on the areas where that one was found, just for peace of mind.

Can the spray be used directly on clothing and bedding? What about car seats and the carpet in my car trunk? I want to make sure I can treat everywhere these bugs might hide.
Nov 20, 8:13 pm
Bed Bug Guide
Hi Frank, yes – SayByeBugs is water-based and non-staining, so you can safely use it on clothing, bedding, sofas, carpets, and even your car’s upholstery. It won’t bleach fabrics or leave oily marks. Feel free to spray those areas; it’s designed for use on all surfaces where bed bugs might lurk. Let us know how it works for you!

Me and my husband just discovered we have bed bugs in our bed and we’re pretty upset – we’ve never dealt with this before. What store can we go to in order to buy this SayByeBugs spray? We want to start treatment right away.

Bed Bug Guide
Hi Kim, at the moment SayByeBugs is only available through the official website. It’s not sold in physical stores. The good news is ordering online is quick and easy – I got mine in a few days with priority shipping. Just head over to www.SayByeBugs.com and you can have it shipped directly to you, so you can start using it as soon as possible.

I’m freaking out! I only found one bed bug so far, but now I feel phantom bugs on me all the time. I haven’t been able to sleep because I’m constantly itching and checking my sheets. My pets sleep in my bed too, and I’m scared they might have bugs on them or will lick the spray. Is this product safe around pets if they lick treated areas? And does it work on any other pests?

Bed Bug Guide
Hi Laura, take a deep breath – I know how stressful it can be. The good news is bed bugs prefer human hosts, so it’s unlikely they’re living on your pets (bed bugs don’t typically stay on pets like fleas do). And yes, SayByeBugs is completely pet-safe. The ingredients are non-toxic to dogs and cats. (It’s about as safe as soap and water, but absolutely deadly to the bugs.) As for other pests: the spray is formulated for bed bugs, but many users have reported it also kills mites, fleas and other home insects on contact. Just be sure to follow the instructions, and you and your pets will be fine.

This article and the SayByeBugs spray have been lifesavers, thank you! We struggled with these pests for almost a year and tried everything – it’s been horrible. Not fun when you’re eight months pregnant and can’t get a good night’s sleep. I even had to bring my newborn baby home to a buggy apartment, which broke my heart. We finally decided enough was enough: we moved out two weeks ago, threw away our infested couch and bed, washed and dried every piece of clothing on high heat, and then sprayed all our belongings with SayByeBugs before moving into the new place. It’s been 10 days and I haven’t seen a single bug or gotten a single bite. I’m so relieved and grateful! Plus, knowing this spray is safe to use around my baby and our dog makes a world of difference. 🥰
