The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed a search tool that can help you choose an EPA-registered bed bug product that meets your needs. You can search for a product by its name, company, EPA-registration number, where you can use the pesticide, and pesticide type.
As with all pest control situations, the EPA cautions people to be sure to use a product that fits your needs, never use products indoors that are not approved for indoor use, and ensure that label directions are followed. For example, be sure to consider where you want to treat your bed bug infestation.
