Does Hydrogen Peroxide Kill Bed Bugs

On whether hydrogen peroxide can kill bed bugs
Today I want to find out whether hydrogen peroxide can kill bed bugs. Bed bugs, a pest that disturbs people's peace, hide in the cracks between beds and furniture, come out day and night, suck human blood, cause itchy skin, and cause worry.

Hydrogen peroxide, chemically called hydrogen peroxide, has strong oxidizing properties. Or because of its strong oxidizing properties, it can break the body surface structure of bed bugs, destroy their cell tissues, and then kill them.

However, the actual situation is quite complicated. The shell of the bed bug is hard and has a certain protective ability. It is difficult to penetrate its shell when applied with ordinary concentration of hydrogen peroxide only, and it is straight to the yellow dragon. If you want to use the power of hydrogen peroxide to kill bed bugs, you need a higher concentration, and you must ensure that the whole body of the bed bug is evenly covered. However, high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide are corrosive and are applied to household environments, vulnerable furniture, fabrics, etc.

Furthermore, bedbugs are mostly hidden in narrow gaps and corners, and it is not easy to fully reach them with hydrogen peroxide. And bedbugs multiply rapidly. If they are not eradicated, the residual insects will multiply and all previous efforts will be lost.

To sum up, although hydrogen peroxide has the theoretical possibility of killing bedbugs, in practical applications, due to factors such as bedbug protection mechanism, difficulty of application, and impact on the environment, the use of hydrogen peroxide alone to kill bedbugs is not effective. It is still necessary to combine other insect control methods.
