BBCTV DIY #2 - Effective Method to Apply Dusts

In this episode Jeff will describe the most effective way to apply dusts to kill bed bugs. When working in homes, it is common to see white dusts applied to the surface of floors and carpets in an attempt to kill bed bugs. While some dusts allow for it to be applied in this fashion it may not be the most effective way to treat for bed bugs. When applying dusts to kill bed bugs, it may be best to get the dust into cracks, crevices and voids. The idea behind this treatment is to get the dust to where the bugs are hiding. By doing so, you optimize the chance that you kill the bugs and if the dust does not get wet, it should be active for a long period of time and thus eliminate that crack as a place to hide for the bugs. If you place the dust on the top of the floor or carpeting, there is a chance the bug may avoid the dust and find another way to get to the sleeping person. Also, applying dusts on to the surface of flooring may not be the best option if pets or children are present in the home.

I don't have any pets or kids, I wonder if I can put some powder under my bed, or anywhere else kids and pets would usually go. Just as an extra precaution...Good vid though, very informative!

Can be effective? It's the most effective natural safe product use food grade organic....ineffective forms are the chemical mixtures with DE in them...by whole sale bulk plain old DE (food grade organic) it shoudl be about $12-16 a pound otherwise you are being overcharged.

Do NOT buy pool filter DE it will kill you

Actually, there's no reason to be rude. But thanks for displaying your bitterness to the world for us to see, UncleMoishe... By the way, what "you've learned" is lacking in proper grammar. Allow me to better reflect what you represent: "DIY"

"Displaying Illiterate Yowls" Indeed. We've heard your "yowl" loud and clear. *facepalm*

Thanks for the informative video, Jeff White, your video was clear, and thorough about the information about Diatomaceous Earth.
