Yes, I'd like to know about that. My tatami are very old (at least
8 years) and while there is some kind of powdered poison underneath
maybe it's not working.

The only visible problem I had was with ants (no gokuburi!) and for
that I found a magic green box which you put down, fill with the
contents of an envelope and within 1 hour it is covered with ants
busily taking the stuff home. They don't come back....
