[QUOTE="dick bird, post: 1232592, member: 93571"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24498754/[/URL] Apparently, DEET (and picaridins if used in sufficiently high concentrations) are fairly effective at repelling bedbugs. Above is a link to the abstract of one of a number of articles (with links to others) that have come to a similar conclusion. However, here is the bad news: [LIST] [*]DEET reacts with and can dissolve some synthetic materials (not a biggie if you only use natural fabrics) [*]You would have to apply it to every square inch or millimetre of your body, because the little critters get in everywhere [*]It doesn´t last very long, therefore you would have to apply it every night, all over your body [/LIST] Here is another link to the European code of practice, derived from the Australian code of practice [URL unfurl="true"]http://pestcontrol-uk.org/downloads/bed-bugs-code-of-practice-europe.pdf[/URL] Interestingly, it recommends washing of infested items, but at +55ºC, and then hot drying. Enjoy [/QUOTE]
