I am not sure if the clove oil will "kill" them but it acts as a strong cinnamon smelling repellent, with a warm musky odor. Poured straight onto bedding sheets or pillows, it will definitely spice up your room. I had a problem with creepy crawlies and not sure if they were actual bedbugs. The clove oil is the ONLY thing that nipped that in the bud, some applied to my person diluted. The bugs HATE it. Once they stop feeding on YOU, they die off. Just DO NOT GET IT INTO YOUR EYES. VERY AROMATIC, VERY STRONG. Do allergy tests before applying any full strength to your skin. Hope this helps. BTW..makes you smell interesting to coworkers if you wear it like a cologne diluted. LOL.

Peppermint. Have not tried it. I did hear that you DON'T breath the fumes if you have cardiac problems as may cause irregular heartbeat or breathing. Might drive them off too...so much that they don't feed, breed, and therefore die off.
