Can I use it on my bed? Should I wash sheets after? Is it ok to stay in the house after treatment or do my pet and I need to leave for a few hours?

I recently used some on my bed and did not wash the sheets immediately after, and I had no problem. If you have sensitive skin, you might want to spray the mattress instead of the sheets, then put clean sheets on after the mattress is dry. According to the directions, you should not breathe this stuff, so I would recommend leaving the house for about an hour. This is not a fogger, so there isn't a cloud of stuff in the air, but it does need some time to dry on the surfaces you spray it on. Once it's dry, it should be safe for your pets to walk on. Be sure to do all the carpets/rugs, upholstered furniture and mattresses. I recently used some on my bed and did not wash the sheets immediately after, and I had no problem.

I would recommend NOT putting it on your bed sheets, as your face will be on or very near the poison. Saying that, I sprayed EVERYTHING else--couch, dining room chairs, wood floor, area rugs. I had the problem with fleas in the bed too but once I sprayed the rest of the house, I no longer had fleas in the bed. The poison killed all the fleas. The pets should be out of the room until the spray dries--I'd give it about an hour. You yourself do not need to leave. I think it's just because the pets are closer to the floor where the toxins are being sprayed & they get it on their paws, which they may then lick.

Your question reminded me that I had never washed my bed and it was long past due. I unzipped the hood to make two pieces again, took the cover off the cushion and decided not to wash the inner pillow. It seemed like it might deteriorate, so I just aired it out. I put everything else in my large front-loading washer, after having to brush a whole lot of hair out of the seams areas, thanks to my Sheltie. I dried all three pieces and it came out good as new. The hood part even stays up better (it had been kind of droopy, though my dog seems to love being it, even when it is rather collapsed and more like a cocoon.)Hope you have the same luck as I did in machine washing this bed.

I would not use this on pets. I had emailed the company to ask about indoor use (behind the dishwasher etc) they said it was not for indoor use. So I'm assuming it's not pet safe. The directions tell you to be completely covered when applying.

The manaul clearly states that this unit is not to be used indoors, If you have problems with bed bugs you can try an insecticide where the active ingredient is "bifenthrin" this can be applied with a manual sprayer, it is very important to clean the bed after and vacuum the afected areas .

I believe you are supposed to keep pets off for a certain period of hours. Check label or call company if it doesn't have specifics. It will be safe after alotted time

I never have left it on for days at a time, but I have left it on for a couple of days when my little dog is at the caregiver's when we've been gone for a weekend. I use mine in my chihuahua's crate for at night. I start warming it up early evening and usually turn it off mid morning the next day. I would think it would be fine to leave it on most of the time if you are using it for a pet who lays on it most of the time, day and night.

I would think that you could lightly spray a mattress since it's perfectly okay to spray your pets' beds, provided you allow the sprayed area to thoroughly dry before placing (in this case, sheets) anything over it.

I had success washing this bed after my friends dog got it dirty. I used the delicate cycle and used cold water. Also put it on the dryer without any problems. I recommend this bed :)

I think you have to take to the dry cleaner. I have a cover for feather bed that can be washed with regular laundry.

You vaccum it up or use a mop to mop it up. U leave it on the carpet in a place where it won't be seen , like along the base boards. It won't hurt your pets if they lick it. If u use it for roaches or other pests run a line of it along the counter or around the baseboard. Leave it there and don't remove it for at least a month. U use it the same way as roach powder except its' not poisonous to pets like pesticides .

The directions say to rinse off after 20 minutes. I have used it w/o doing so as I went to bed to sleep and I was fine. My friend said she use it and this product burned or stung her skin. I guess it depends on your skin sensitivity. I would say you should follow the directions on the label to be safe.

This can be used indoors. Allow spray to dry completely before coming in contact with treated areas/surfaces. I would not recommend spraying the bed or bedding. Underneath the bed would be fine, as long as, there is proper ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mist.

F. 2/7/14 1:30 pm You can only spot clean. I'd suggest you keep it covered at ALL times like I do, with a sheet or a blanket. You DEFINITELY cannot launder it in a washer. I turn mine over once a week when I change my bedding.

Yes. Get detergent for bed bugs as well and wash all the sheets and blankets with it. Then you should be good to go.

If they don't damage your regular sheets, I see no reason for pets to damage the half sheet. I put it down on the lower third of my bed so my feet rest on it. It is regular sheet material, not flimsy.

Sure if you don't mind your dog in your bed. This is a fitted sheet for a bed. There are ones made specifically for animals if that's what you want.

yes, just let it air out before putting it on your bed. It doesn't last long
