Just bought a can of this. Thought I’d got rid of them and then found dead ones under my bed and on the staircase carpet. Fml

It's so annoying isn't it, but dead ones are better than alive. Just remember they have a cycle, and youll probably have more than one stage on the go at one time, so it will take time to break it. But it will dwindle.

Spray round skirting, aim under beds and couches, don't just spray into the air. I also sprayed the carpet as I walked out, just roughly as the particles do go in the air anyway and settle. And keep the door closed for a minimum of 2 hours, before opening the window to air the room. I know I've already said this but just want you to know it's not a mammoth task, just annoying. Once the room is aired I put bicarbonate soda down the bit at the skirting and chuck some under the sofa, bed etc.

Another plus is it kills spiders etc too if you happen to have a fear or dislike of them.

Thank you !! I was reading up about the spray last night. It says, don’t hoover for 3 days after spraying and then you need to hoover 7 days in a row, but I don’t know if that is to do with the cycle for fleas rather than carpet beetles. 🤷🏼‍♀️
I’ll spray this morning before I leave for the supermarket 😬

Yeah I don't hoover for a few days, I give it 3 or 4 days depending on when I can be arsed, then I do hoover daily for a week or so, but only cause I want the dead ones and eggs lifted out.

I've only seen 1 recently, so I'm keeping going. And I'll hoover every couple of days through winter, with a deep hoover and steam weekly to get any stragglers, pupae and eggs that are laying waiting. Get them up and out before they become more adults!

When doing a bedroom remember to open cupboards and drawers before spraying so it gets in to them too.

I can’t remember now, tbh I find her pretty harmless and she has done well for her self. Although I know someone who is good mates with her ex josh and he is adamant that charlotte was pretty awful in their relationship. it annoys me how she (and many others) will get gifted baby items when so many people have absolutely nothing.
