The white dust is on top of the moisture barrier and through the entire crawlspace. Seller is out of town so couldn't ask what it is.

With this stuff in the crawlspace it is not possible to service the furnace or air-handler.

Am I gonna die???
Vern what you got into was diatomaceous earth for flea control or some other target pest.

It will dry out your mouth for a time it is an organic pesticide... You will be OK YOUR NOT GOING TO DIE...

But you should check with he owner and his pest control company as some one is just dumping the stuff at the access and not doing there job correctly

Look it up on Google for more inforation. get lots of water the eat some fresh Mex and PEPERS... L.O.L. And you will forget about the diatomaceous earth same stuff for pool filters.

Best
