An ad for "bed bug powder" (from the description it's clearly DE or some other silica variant) is making the rounds of the BB-related sites. Ad highlights "travel size".
When I travel, I want 2 things. 1. Not get bitten 2. Not take bugs home with me.
Those of us who've been here know that DE takes days or weeks to act and only against those bugs that have passed through (and some say only those with full, saggy bellies, to boot).
So, WTF would I want to DE-treat my hotel room with my travel-size "bed bug powder"?

In these days of homeland security it is always best to have your travel DE labeled otherwise you never know what you might be accused of spreading around.
I 100% agree that DE is not an effective travel deterrent but I hear through the grapevine that due to the El Ninio snake oil is in short supply this season.
