    It makes sense that you don’t recommend it. Why would you want your clients to have a simple solution and they can go to you?

    Pest company quoted 1400 for bed bug treatment. No guarantee they won't come back. I paid a regular 90 baseboard spray and then used the diatomaceous earthunder beds and along wall. 8$ and it worked. Covered my face with my shirt. Total cost is 98$

    Bed bug removal by professional pest services is extremely expensive. You can purchase high wall bed bug traps to put under your bed frame legs to trap bed bugs. If you lightly sprinkle diatomaceous earth around the legs of your bed it’s highly unlikely you risk inhaling it. You can also put some in the traps so the bed bugs will die faster. This is optional because they will die from starvation in a couple of days. The bed bugs can’t fly so they get to you by climbing your bed frame. If you’re mattress is touching the wall scoot it away from the wall so the only way bed bugs can reach you is by climbing the bed frame legs. That way they will get stuck in the traps. This is way cheaper and more environmentally friendly than pesticides or whole home super heating.

    Lmao! It works incredibly well. Less than $20 for a big bag versus $1000’s spent to a pest control company that doesn’t work.

    @@bluuDreamz Direct contact with alcohol MAY work in killing bed bugs. It's not as effective as diatomaceous earth residue. In the Mark Rober video, "Bed Bugs- What You've Been Told Is Totally False" he covers pest control chemicals and demonstrated effective practices to prevent/eliminating bed bugs. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZH51sbaDqLzXmJs.html

    Absolutely, diatomaceous earth still wouldn't hurt though. If inhaling it is such a problem, getting a bed bug mattress cover after applying diatomaceous earth pretty much eliminate the concern. Then regularly incinerate bed sheets in the dryer!
