    The insecticides in the Carpet Beetle Control Kit are safe for kids and pets if used as directed. You would want to keep them out of the area while treating until the products have dried.  The dust should be applied in undisturbed places away from children and pets.

    Q
    Can I use the Carpet Beetle Control Kit in my car?

    Unfortunately the Carpet Beetle Control Kit is not labeled to be used inside of vehicles.

    Q
    How long does it take for the NyGuard Plus to kill?
    I sprayed the NyGuard Plus on my carpet two days ago as directed, after removing all furniture and vacuuming first. Today, I've found 4 more larvae in different rooms near the edges of the rooms and all were alive. How long does it take for the carpet beetle larvae to die after contact with a treated carpet?
    A

    How long it takes to see results using the Carpet Beetle Control Kit will depend on several factors, including  the age and health of the beetle and how long it spends on a treated surface. It could be hours or even a couple of days. Please see our Carpet Beetle Treatment Guide for more information on how to get rid of carpet beetles.

    Q
    Should I ventilate any rooms sprayed? Would a room be safe to sleep in after using the Carpet Beetle Control Kit?
    A

    When applying the products in the Carpet Beetle Control Kit, it is recommended to keep people and pets out of the area while treating and until the application has dried. Once dry, it is perfectly fine for people and pets to reenter the rooms and sleep in treated areas, typically after an hour. Ventilating the rooms is optional and based on personal preference as there is no restriction time other then waiting for the treatment to dry. 
     
    The NyGuard Plus in the kit does not work like a bug bomb or aerosol fogger, this is applied directly to carpets, rugs, closets, baseboards and along the edges of carpets in a sweeping motion. You will only apply till slightly damp and not oversaturate any surface.

    Q
    Is Carpet Beetle Control Kit safe to use on beds?
    So far I’ve only seen three larvae, but they are all on my bed. I’ve deep cleaned my entire bedroom (removed all furniture and deep vacuumed, steamed, and cleaned) and went on vacation for a week and came back and there was the third one.
    A

    Nyguard Plus is restricted to apply only to the mattress as a spot treatment to seams, edges, buttons, and tufts of the bed. Do not apply directly to pillows, bed linens, or cloths. Do not saturate the mattress and do not treat the entire surface area of the mattress. Allow the mattress to dry thoroughly before replacing pillows and/or bed linens.   The other items would not be used on beds.
