A few Gite's on the Le Puy route are using Diatomaceous earth, in the fight against bedbugs.
"Here’s how diatomaceous earth works: each particle of DE contains microscopic sharp edges. When bed bugs are exposed to these sharp edges, their exoskeletons are eviscerated. Once the exoskeletons are removed, the drying action of diatomaceous earth goes to work. The bed bugs dry out and die."
In Poudally, Mars de Ver, Manu and Elsa provide puffers full of it in each room, and advise you to use it around the beds and in your sleeping bag.
For those affected by chemicals, this natural product could be helpful.
