Bedbugs cannot get resistant to ActiveO treatment powder because it's made from a mix of fossilized all-natural minerals.

Vacuuming

Thoroughly vacuum all 6 sides of mattresses. Vacuum all cracks and crevices within the furniture of the bed and nearby electrical outlets, baseboards, and floors before treatment. Empty the vacuum contents into a plastic bag and discard them in the trash

Treating Bed

Apply ActiveO to the 6 sides of the mattress and spread it by use of a paintbrush. Ensure to get the powder into the seams and sewing around the edges of the mattress.

When stripping beds during a bed bug treatment, pull the sheets carefully so as not to dislodge eggs or drop bedbugs onto the floor where they may be missed by other treatments. Accidental spread of bed bugs can also be prevented by bagging the bedding as it is moved to the laundry.

Ensure to keep the bed away from walls, and not allow beddings to touch the floor after treatment. Ensure that bedbugs that climb back get a touch of ActiveO by treating the bed's legs with ActiveO powder, applying with a paintbrush.

Using Mattress encasements

Enclosing your mattress is an integral step in the treatment process for two reasons: First, they ensure that the powder stays locked in to kill all bedbugs. Second, they reduce the areas where bed bugs can hide nearest to you. Water-resistant, tight-weave fabric prevents the entry of even the smallest bed bug.

Around Room

Coat a layer of dust underneath and behind appliances, furniture, doorways, windowsills, and other hiding places throughout your kitchen and living areas. And if you see any insects while you’re applying, make sure you sprinkle ActiveO directly on them for further benefit. Don’t forget to apply in nooks and crannies of ceilings, basements, and garages as these places are known hotspots that many crawling insects love to hide in. You'd typically require 500g to adequately treat 1 standard-sized room with a bed or couches, please plan accordingly.
