A while back there was a bad infestation in my bed room. We hired a pro to come in an spray i got a new bed and everything.
We decided to get some dust bc signs were appearing in my parents room and my brothers room. I just used the dust about 3-4 days ago and it seems like my parents room is still getting blood spots on the covers and i actually just found 3 and killed them. Is this stuff working? im really nervous i dont want this to get out ahand.p.s. I puts dust like all over the box spring, mattress, and around the legs of the bed. has anyone ever used dust themselves and been successful how long did it take? need help plz im worried bad

where did you buy the dust from? i am looking to purchase this, i am leaving for vegas for 7 days so my thought was to place it down the night i leave and vaccum it when i return, is that too long to leave it down for? also will this harm my kid he plays on the carpet with trucks and stuff

Mick88,
I am concerned you may have overapplied DE. What type did you use? If you really placed it "all over the box spring, mattress, and around the legs of the bed," then you may be exposing your lungs to inhaling the stuff, which is not a good idea. It can be hazardous to your health. Please tell us more about what you used.ctd2009,
If you are going to use DE, you have to leave it down. They then have to walk across it in order to be killed. But use caution and read the DE FAQ before proceeding. It really is best if you can get someone experienced to treat your bed bug problem. -
