Will Maggies Farm Spider and Insect Dust need to be vacuumed off the floor once applied after a period of time or do I leave it?

I'm treating for bedbugs.

Answer:

When treating for bedbugs you should not be applying any dust to the open areas of the floor as that is not where bedbugs hide. You can see the instructions for treating for bedbugs on the Maggies Farm Product Label which I have also copied below. You may want to look at our Bed Bug Guide to get a better understanding of how to properly treat for bedbugs and get rid of them completely. We offer both regular and all natural products if that is a concern for you when treating in your home.  Per the Label: Bed Bugs: This product can provide some residual protection against bed bugs, but should not be used as the sole treatment. We recommend you contact a professional if you have bed bugs. Remove bedding and take the bed apart. Treat the interior framework, joints and cracks in the bed frame. Treat the tufts, folds, edges, and the interior framework of the box spring. Treat behind wall-mounted head boards. Treat moldings, hollow furniture legs, cracks and crevices, along baseboards, under carpet tack strips and any areas with visible signs of infestation. Treat upholstered furniture by removing or lifting (if possible) the cushions and treating the undersurface. Treat the interior framework, cracks and joints of the furniture, and the folds, tufts and edges of cushions and other upholstered areas. Do not treat toys and stuffed animals with product. Treat wall voids as noted in the general pest section.  Bed Bug Treatment Guide-Click through Inspect, Treat and Prevent areas for all needed info.  http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-check-for-bed-bugs-a-450.html
