best for bed bugs, safest - Suspend, Demand, Tempo?
|
|
|
| I think I got them all, but every once in a while (several weeks beween
incidents) I get a mark that bleeds that makes me very suspicious.
Since members in this group have stated emulsified concentrate of
permethrin (as in Insectrin X) actually soaks into
most things (carpet, cloth and bonds with it, losing it's killling
ability, I'm now considering alternatives.
Suspend SC seems to be labelled for use almnost anywhere including
mattress, upholstered furniture etc. The suspended crystals sound like
a pretty good way to get several weeks or more of killing.
Demand CS is labeled only for cracks, crevices etc., definitely not for
matresses or furneture, but you use much less of it to make mix, so less odor
(for the record, Insectrin X is vile smelling stuff). The encapsulated
suspension sounds good for long term protection in low (human) traffic
areas.
Should I be getting just the suspend to use everywhere, or also get the
Deamd for non-matress non-furniture use?
Do people here have experience with these agents?
HGow long and throughly need I air out the aprtment after using these?
Also, I'm not a pro, still trying the do-it-myself route.

The suspend should be fine for what you want...it will be odorless, so
no need to air out the home...it will dry however long water takes to
dry in your home. Demand would be the other good alternative.
