Here professionals use that earth. But they also do checks on where the bugs have spread, assess whether other apartments need to be checked, educate inhabitants on the situatuon and stuff like that.
People trying to do shit on their own often just means they'll do a poor job and rather spread the bugs or half-ass it and you'll get the same situation again. You do you is all fine and good but I have very little trust in your ability to deal with the situation properly. No offense. That's why it's better to let professionals deal with it.
L-O-L.
Bugs gone in two days represents the experience of the only two independent instances where people I know had to deal with bedbugs. Your experience may be different and I respect that.
In both instances the professionals wanted to spray insecticide as I described, too.

Gone in two days is really unrealistic scenario for dealing with bedbugs. They're much, much, much more resilient than that. They can go months without eating.
It's not really a difference of opinion that it's unrealistic to believe to be done with them in days. It's just not gonna happen. Bedbugs are resilient as all fuck and it'll take quite some time to know if you're done with them or if some managed to survive. It might be two months and you'll find one bugger has appeared in a bedbug cup. They're insanely annoying shits.
