Bed bugs are back!
Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida residents: do not use the DE from your pool Date April 10, 2007 Oh dear, yesterdayıs news round-up missed the Tampa Bay CBS news websiteıs article about bed bugs, which kindly directed many Tampa residents here. Well, I wish Iıd seen it yesterday, so I could have warned more of the folks from Tampa. The CBS article isas originally posted, was wrong: do NOT use the diatomaceous earth (DE) designed for pools in your home to fight bed bugs. Itıs dangerous. Use food grade freshwater DE instead. See our FAQ on the subject. (CBS 10 has now updated its article to reflect the dangers of pool grade DE.) We also have FAQs about what to do if you think you have bed bugs. Hint: the first step is not, as the article states, to treat yourself, the second is not to have a PCO apply one aerosol, as the article also states. Bed bugs are serious and youıd do well to have a Pest Control Operator who knows bed bugs come in and treat your home properly from step one. Donıt believe me? Ask people in the forums. http://www.bedbugger.com/ -- My birthday is April 30th, I'll be 64 y.o. Money: What a concept? |

They will spray your place with deadly chemicals that cause you and your family and pets to die young with horrible cancer. Please be green and do NOT allow pest control people on your property. They are the worst offenders at poisoning our planet. |

They are the worst offenders at poisoning our planet. Just curious how many times you have heard "family and pets to die young with horrible cancer." from pest control service. I'll spot you one when a lady, her heart stopped after entering her home after returning home from hospital from heart problems to an illegal pest service she paid for. But impossible to say if the chemicals were truly to blame or if it was bad timing and her life time was up. Actually nature would be the worse offender of poisoning our planet. It's been a very active volcanic cycle. Lar |
