I've seen people on youtube pouring DE on the floor in large messy quantiites and was wondering if i could just dust areas lightly where its unnoticeable or would this not be effective treatment? also if its safe to leave on my mattress before i put on a enclosed mattress cover?
Diatomaceous Earth 85% - 4 lb. bag can be applied indoor and Outdoor areas, floors, carpets, along baseboards and in cracks and crevices where crawling insects are found and may hide. You do not want to make a heavy application as it may deter the insects away. Also, Diatomaceous Earth 85% - 4 lb. bag is not labeled for use on mattresses. You want to use something like Sterifab that is labeled for that use.
