Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

Bed bug problem is a very difficult problem to eradicate in a home. It will take as long as it takes. You may still need to use the exterminator to get rid of the infestation. Very hard problem. I can't tell you how long it takes because these bugs are difficult to exterminate. Just keep the house treatments until you are satisfied they are gone.
