After all the talk here about Vikane and Diatomacous Dust, what are pyrethroid and silica gel dust? Should I be concerned?</p> <p>These bed bug eradication treatments may include:</p> <p> * Use of a pyrethroid flushing agent to get bed bugs out of their hiding places.<br /> * Treatment of mattress and bed springs depending on the mattress label. *<br /> * Disassembly of the bed frame to treat the frame, slats, hollow legs and open springs.<br /> * Light pesticide spray treatment of bed tufts, seams, and buttons on the mattress and box spring.<br /> * Spray or dusting of cracks around baseboards, bedside furniture and window frames.<br /> * Use of silica gel dusts to treat infested wall voids and attics.<br /> * Treatment of the entire residence to remove nests of birds, bats, squirrels or other rodents.<br /> * Follow-up bed bug eradication inspection is usually required.</p> <p>* We will not treat the beds of infants or ill people </p>
