No but I put it along the sides(under the seams) and the underside of the boxspring. I also have a mattress pad that I use as well. So far they have not infested my bedroom but just in my housemates. We saw one last night on the wall so I think there may be a few left behind the bookcase. I dusted a bit back there but I may have to move it out and vacuum/spray/dust to make sure they DIE DIE DIE! He hasn't had any major bites in a few days so I think we may have a handle on them. Keep your fingers crossed...

: Did you put a plastic cover over your mattress after you dusted it? From what i have read you don't want to be sleeping on the stuff. Walmart sells plastic zip up covers for mattresses for under $10. Just be careful not to rip it, have soemone help you put it on. and i bought a roll of ducttape to repair any holes that occur in my plastic cover.
