I am DE-ing the perimeter of my new apartment as a prevention method for possible future infestations. There are quite a few heating ducks around and i was thinking about dusting under/around them, but i just wanted to make sure there wasn't a health risk to doing so.
Could the heat release DE particles in the air consistently or is it pretty safe to dust there?

Avoid placing any DE in the heating ducts... It isn't the heat, rather it is the movement of air that will create a problem. We don't want to inhale DE particles or get DE in our eyes.
Be careful to apply very small amounts of dust in cracks & crevices where the dust will not be disturbed and made airborne. There should not be any visible dust.

what about in/behind older hot water rads?
