- Does this powder kill bed bugs on contact?
- Yes. It is a contact dust, so bed bugs and other listed insects die after touching it. It does not attract them, so it only works where bugs cross the treated cracks and seams.
- Can I use it on my mattress and bedding?
- Treat seams, folds and the frame, not the sleeping surface. Wash bedding in hot water and keep the powder away from where people and pets sleep directly.
- How often should I reapply?
- Reapply after vacuuming or cleaning, and repeat every few days during an active infestation. A single dusting is rarely enough to break a bed bug cycle.
- Will it work on fleas and roaches too?
- Yes. The label lists fleas, ticks, roaches, beetles and ants, so it can be dusted into baseboards and cracks where those pests travel.
- Is it safe around pets?
- Keep pets out of treated areas until the dust settles, and do not apply it to pet bedding or fur. Follow the label directions for indoor use.
- Do I still need an exterminator?
- For a light problem, this can be part of a DIY plan with laundering and vacuuming. For a heavy or recurring infestation, a professional is the more reliable route.
