How long does PyGanic 1% Pyrethrin Dust keep killing bedbugs after it has been applied?

I know that the owner will not address this bed bug problem properly, and I really wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. I am scared that seeing it is a low rent that some unsuspecting single mother or elderly person will move in to their worst nightmare. I plan to open up all electrical outlets and treat high and low. It's a carpeted unit, so I have used silica gel under the bedroom carpet in addition to what I plan to treat when this product arrives. Is there hope that I may succeed in killing off the bedbugs? I have very limited money available for treating the bugs, so I chose the powder for financial reasons along with a diatomaceous earth/silca gel to hopefully help the next tenants that may eventually move in. Short of camping in front of the unit to warn new tenants, this is the best I can do. There are still those of us who care for others around us. I would truly hope that someone would care enough about where I may move as well.

Answer:

Pyganic dust will keep working for about 6 months after it has been applied. While it shouldn't be the only product you use to treat an infestation in a home you are living in. It can take several days to kill a bedbug that comes into contact with treated areas and will undoubtedly offer some control. It is very admirable that you are looking out for future tenants and your neighbors.
