Bed bugs are highly resistant to most pesticides commonly used to kill roaches and spiders. There are a few pesticides that do work on bed bugs, however it will still take weeks to eliminate them. Pesticide treatment takes approximately three weeks to thirty days to kill all of the bed bugs unless combined with heat treatment. This can be a problem as you may experience bites during that time period. Pesticides also do not kill eggs outright. It takes time for the bed bugs to hatch and come out of their hidden spaces and interact with the pesticide.

Lastly, commercial-grade pesticides require special training to learn the correct application techniques. Make sure that you only use a licensed pesticide service.
