No mentioning of vacuuming due to we were talking about the outside
treatments of the yards. I have never really recommended throwing away
the vacuum bag myself due to I have never seen a infestation continue
from not throwing away the bag, though most speakers at the seminars I
have attended over the years suggest throwing away the bag, but none I
know of has ever stated they have seen an infestation continue if they
weren't disposed of. No harm I guess to be extra extra diligent when
fighting an infestation, so throwing away the bag can't hurt.
