Desiccant Dust for Bed Bugs: Placement and Safety

Only use an authorised product

Household powders, pool products and loose industrial materials are not interchangeable with a product authorised and labelled for the intended pest and location.

Read the label before purchase and again before use.

A thin placement is not a pile

Over-application can create avoidable airborne dust, visible mess and routes insects may avoid. Professional placement targets suitable cracks, voids or interception routes according to the label.

Keep products away from children, pets and food-contact surfaces as directed.

Dust is not instant confirmation

Desiccant action can take time and depends on contact. Monitoring and inspection are needed to judge whether activity is falling.

Do not combine it with incompatible cleaning or wet applications without professional advice.
