When Bedlam Insecticide Aerosol and other insecticides is still wet, the wet application could come off the surface by touch, clothing, shoes, etc to where if contact is made with skin or clothing it could readily be absorbed. Once the treated areas have dried the product has bonded to the surface and will not be removed.
Bedlam Insecticide Aerosol is a great product for bed bug control, however, an item like a recliner can be very difficult to treat for this pest. We recommend switching to Crossfire Aerosol since it has different active ingredients and a much longer residual. You can also apply insecticide dust such as CimeXa Dust using a Bellow Hand Duster to deeper cracks and crevices in the chair.

Typically as the products age, they will become less potent, so they won't just stop working, but you may not have the results that you expect. Bedlam Plus is specifically labeled for use on furniture. Apply to tufts, folds, edges, sides, and seams until damp. Allow to dry before reuse. Do not spray the entire surface of the cushions or back as this is not necessary
Bedlam Insecticide Aerosol is not labeled for psocid (booklice), only lice in general. The product does talk about wall applications but not in reference to lice. If you were planning on using DE, it would need to be used in areas where you do not use this product as you cannot overlap products
The best way to control booklice is by lowering the humidity in the infested areas which in turn will help eliminate the mold and fungus these insects need to survive. Infested furniture and carpeting should be thoroughly steam-cleaned and vacuumed. You can spray your furniture with Steri-Fab Insecticide to get rid of any lingering insects.
