Seems to me if I had a bug problem they would be a problem with or without flour in the house.

Thanks for sharing!

The sprayer I used sprays a fine mist so it's not that wet. I was in a hurry so I pressed after spraying. I had it on folding tables and pressed it while on the table. First one side then turned it and spray basted the other side then pressed that. The alcohol was strong smelling when pressing but evaporated fast. The quilt is about double bed size.

Thank you for this review. I'm always looking for ways to save a money. AND the commercial sprays are expensive. I might make some and spray a small quilt and leave it folded for some time and see how well it holds up.
THIS is just great news.
