Are flea and tick preventives effective against bed bugs?

Only products labeled with bed bugs as a target pest should be used. If bed bugs are not listed on the label, the product may not be effective. 

 

And unlike fleas and ticks, bed bugs live in your home, not on your pet. Using the wrong pesticide or using it incorrectly to treat for bed bugs can make you, your family, and your pet sick. The EPA has a search tool to help you find the right product.
