    Right now our camcorder case (black, leather, padded..) and Camera, in the case is stored in the bedroom closet. The camcorder is out side of the bedroom but used to be stored in the bedroom to charge. I sprayed bedlam in a pastic tub and layed them in there. (the camcorder case and camera. Then I sprayed them down with bedlam) They are on the closet shelf right now. I did look inside the items but I didn't see anything. The camera case with the camera inside it, I looked in, but didn't take the camera out. The case was dusty.. We have had 4 treatments already. Do you think what may or may not have been in there already came out and died? This has been going on since May.
    My husband my kill me, but maybe I should just bag the two items and throw them out to be sure.. I sprayed the camcorder with air, didn't see anything.

    Paula to be on the safe side can you bag them , maybe in clear ziplocks, and put them in bright sunlite for all day?? The rationale is that if any bed bugs are in things...like on shelves, they will eventually exit to follow the trail of CO2 and body heat. This would force them to cross over the treated areas. But there is always the possibiity that they don't sense the Co2 or bodyheat and stay put. I think a good heavy airspray and thorough inspection and maybe a day in hot sunlite, should do the trick...I purchased a small top loading freezer from Sears and I quarantine things in tnere. People have expressed concern with ruining small electronics with this method but so far it hasn't damaged anything..

    If your PCO is using a residual, it should not be a big deal. I would not throw something like this out unless the PCO told me to.
