AoD: most appreciated! My thanks, in advance.
You'd have to be heat treated every time you came home in case you picked up something on the subway or at a hospital. Maybe infrared cameras to detect the presence of bugs, followed by a strip down, a bug spray and a heat lamp?
When you take a bus or subway, DO NOT SIT! I stand all the time, just in case.
Well let's see - 5 months without getting bitten kinda proves to me that the DE IS working. And reapplying it every month means they won't come back. It doesn't take many contacts with DE to destroy them - where in the world are you getting your facts from? Probably a Pest Control company.
DE will not work, bedbugs enter your unit through any crack/crevice available through other units that are infested.they can lie dormant for upto a year waiting for a viable host.all they need to do is feed once and they can live on for another year.
DE does destroy there exoskeletons,but, it takes many contacts with the DE to kill them,and by then they've reproduced.
It's not a solution alone.the building must treat every unit,or there will be a low level of infestation. If it were a solution in and of itself,bedbugs would not be on the rise
