“Diatomaceous Earth”isaboutassafe asyoucangetsinceitisnota poison. Breathing toomuch ofanypowder isnotgood,asyoualready know. Itcanbefound wherepest control supplies andgarden supplies arefound.
Laundry borax mayalsowork. Toxicity level isvery low except forcertaininsects.
Definitelycleaneverything intheroom. Empty theroom,throw out thecarpet. Throw out themattress andsprings. Wash thelinens invery hot water withbleach. Hang inthesun todry (sunlight helps killthem.) Throw out yourpillow. Whenyougeta newmattress andpillow,keep themprotected bycovering theminspecial linens whichthebugs cannotgetthrough.
Vacuum regularly witha goodvacuum cleaner thatdoesnotblow dust back intotheair. Youmustvacuum under thebed,chairs,etc. Mostbugs live intheseplaces becausetheydon’t getvacuumed atall.
Getmore advice froma pest control company toprevent a re-infestation.
Goodluck.
One sure cure for“dust mites”iscleanliness. Take allyourbedding andwash it,three times a week. Thentake yourcurtains andanything elseyoucanandwash it.
Vacuum yourmattress andflip it,vacuum itagain,cleanallyourbedframe withhowwater andsoap,under yourmattress,spray itorcleanit.
Dust mites don’t likelight orfresh air,leave yourbed turned down a few days.
Dothisatleastonce a week,myspouse doesitthree times a week. Letsomefresh air intheroom,theydon’t likethat.
