Do you really want a respiratory irritant on your mattress? Vacuuming might remove a decent fraction, but it won’t get all of it.

- throwaway892238 4y agoPut a plastic sheet over the mattress and a HEPA filter in the room and I'd say your worries are over
- pa7ch 4y agoThe bedbugs under the plastic will also be worry free.
- brianwawok 4y agoEncase in a plastic bag and they will die eventually
- amluto 4y agoYou can buy anti-allergy zippered mattress enclosures that are supposedly impermeable to bedbugs. If they’re made well, they will be permeable to air and a lot more comfortable than a plastic bag.

- itake 4y agoWhat’s the issue with waiting them out? You’re not comfortable sleeping with a mattress protector or something?
- kevviiinn 4y agoWhat is the HEPA filter for, are bedbugs airborne?
- heavyset_go 4y agoYeah, I was always worried about getting some kind of silicosis. From[1]: > A very small amount of crystalline diatomaceous earth may be found in pesticide products. Long-term inhalation of the crystalline form is associated with silicosis, chronic bronchitis, and other respiratory problems. The bulk of diatomaceous earth is amorphous, not crystalline. The amorphous form is only associated with mild, reversible lung inflammation. [1] http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/degen.html http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/degen.html
