Looking to dust our crawl space for brown recluse spiders. Was wondering if there are any precautions or preparation I should take interior before or after, such as closing vents or re-washing dishes, etc.
There will not be a need to prep a crawl space when getting ready to dust with an insecticide dust like Tempo 1% Dust unless there’s items that will need to be removed. You will need to apply about 0.5 lbs to 1.0 lbs Tempo 1% dust for each 1,000 sq. ft. of crawl space. Spreading the dust over the entire crawl space using a hand duster can be a labor intensive job. Most folks choose to use a Dustin Mizer Duster to help cover the area and save their hands from pumping a hand duster multiple times.
