If by bug crabs you mean bed bugs it takes more than one treatment.
Once an infestation has occurred, patience and persistence is the key to ridding the area of bed bugs. If you are determined to get rid of bed bugs yourself, without hiring an exterminator it isn’t enough to clean the mattresses and launder the sheets. Furniture should be overturned and cleaned. Carpeting, wood molding, door jambs, picture frames, and closets should be inspected and vacuumed, as well.
Bed bugs can hide behind loose wallpaper, in the crevices between carpets and walls, behind outlet covers, and inside light fixtures, smoke detectors, and even clocks. Vacuum all these areas, and use a vacuum with a bag so you can throw the bag away after you’ve used it. Be sure to put the bag in a trash bag and secure it tightly before putting it in the outdoor trash can.
Removable, washable items (drapes, throw rugs, towels, clothing, etc.) should be laundered in very hot water.
For those areas or items that cannot be laundered, smaller items can be wrapped in plastic and set in a hot place or in direct sunlight. The key is to raise the temperature to at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit for several hours to kill the eggs and the bugs. Vacuuming, in addition to steam cleaning may also be done, but any bags or canisters should be thrown away or emptied outside of the area immediately to prevent another infestation.
Unfortunately, it’s very hard to find all bed bugs and all bed bug eggs; that’s why the best method of removing bed bugs, however, is through a professional service.
Another thing to do is to caulk and seal all holes where pipes and wires penetrate walls and floor, and fill cracks around baseboards and moldings.
Bed bugs can live as long as 18 months without feeding!! So, even if you’ve done all the above, any areas left untreated bugs can reside to come back to the bed.
Check out the links below, that is if you mean "bed bugs".
