Question by Lourdes:
Exterminator used Fossil Shell Dust to get rid of bed bugs – how do I now clean up the mess?
I have large drifts of powder along all my baseboards and door frames. I slept with it like that but wonder if that’s safe (?). How soon should I vacuum it all up? Or should I not? I didn’t get any proper instruction. Thanks.

You actually paid an exterminator to do that? Amazing. You could’ve done it yourself for about $ 15.
DE is totally pesticide free, so there is no risk of poisoning. It can, however, irritate nasal passages and mucous membranes.
I would wait at least a week before vacuuming it all up. It will make sure you get your $ ‘s worth. The bugs need time to desiccate and perish.
