That's why the FAQ on choosing a PCO suggests that at the time of treatment you ask the PCO what you can do to support treatment.</p> <p>Only your PCO knows exactly what chemicals have been applied where in your home; your PCO is your best resource for that information. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/how-long-after-2nd-pco-treatment-should-i-wait-to-clean-everything#post-59936 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 15:18:03 +0000 tinyvampire 59936@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>hi folks:</p> <p>man, this blog is truly an oasis in the dark, DE dusty hovel that my home has become...</p> <p>we had one spraying treatment thursday, and are getting the second one this coming thursday.</p> <p>in the meanwhile, my hubs and i are still itching (he's itching more now than he was before), and i found a live bug on the wall this morning (around 4am...).</p> <p>we're spraying alcohol on the bedframe and wiping down the chairs we sit in frequently with Murphy's Oil Soap...i really hope we'll get some sleep tonight.</p> <p>should we *not* be using Murphy's yet, because we want the bugs to walk through the residual? when is it appropriate to use such *contact killers* as rubbing alcohol and Murphy's<br /> ---particularly after PCO treatment? how long should you wait to treat cracks, etc., and wash everything down?</p> <p>thanks,<br /> -tinyv </p>
