    As for how long to wait, at least a few days. And you need to catch everyone and give them a dose of Ivermectin. It's just a few drops on the back of the neck, and done. Generally, it's best to do that at night, when everyone is settled into bed.

    It depends on how bad the infestation is as to whether it will kill them all. You may need stronger stuff, like permethrin. And if you see dust when you left clean it out, grab the dust mask.
