3) Using a diffuser and use the smell of the tea tree oil to drive the bed bugs away is a reasonably alternate control procedure

If you planned to put it in a diffuser and use the smell of the tea tree oil to drive the bed bugs away, you’re out of luck. Bed bugs don’t like the smell of tea tree oil, but they don’t hate it enough to pass up on a meal or a decent place to hide
