Bed Bug in a wallpaper? F***
10 August 2016 | 9 replies
it was a huge headache, but we were successful, and afterward, the house was spotless. in the house you're working on, i'd say, it wouldn't be difficult, since it's not full of personal items. but diatomaceous earth only works if the bugs make physical contact with it. we used ourselves as bait, sleeping on air mattresses in the center of the living room, but it was not ideal, especially with a baby. another thing to consider is that breathing it in can be harmful to your lungs and dries your skin out(it also dried out my rugs and floor a little, but, i wanted to cover all my bases). be sure to get the food grade stuff, wear masks when puffing it around, and only puff small amounts(we used a condiment bottle- for mustard or ketchup). another way to lure them through the de is with heat and carbon dioxide(because we generate heat and carbon dioxide)- you could use candles, but be careful leaving them unattended if you are not staying at home through this process. i wish you the best of luck. bed bugs are no fun.

I do this when refinishing hardwood floors and I'm putting three coats of oil based varnish/polyurethane on them.My partners father used to "swear" that by "blowing air" (by mouth) into an open can of paint and then closing the lid quickly (replacing the oxygen in the space in the can with carbon dioxide) prevented fungus from growing in the can (some also simply place a piece of Saran wrap over the wet paint to keep it from drying out).Gail
