Hi all,

>From other investigations I have made previously, I have found that 
diatomacious(sp) earth worked great.

Clean the area well, and behind and underneath. Spinkle in a 
patchwork/checkerboard like pattern. I am sure you could dye it to match what you are 
sprinkling it over if a large diorama. Just return to powder form.

Anything you spray, even if it is pyrethrin powder mixed with water will 
leave a residue. And what I understand about pyrethrin is that it needs direct 
contact. Or maybe it is just the particular bug I spray it on needs.

Best of luck.
