    Hello to all from Indiana. We have been infested since late May or early June. We now have box spring and mattress encasements. I want to make some homemade climb-ups out of plastic containers and have a couple of questions. 1) Could I simply roughen the outside of the bowl with a bit of sandpaper to allow bugs to climb up? 2) What liquid should I use in the outer chamber? I plan to use DE and talc for the inner bowl. 3) SHould you use a regular fitted sheet/flat sheet set over encasements? Or just throw a flat sheet over them? 4) We have encased our futon mattress as well. Can regular futon cover be used over that?

    Thanks for your help.
