The downside is that it can be messy and it's rendered ineffective if it gets wet. But it's effective enough that dusting it around windows, outside doors, & any other nooks and crannies bugs might use is well worth it even as a preventative measure.

You also want to make sure you get food grade DE and not pool grade - pool grade is processed differently enough that it's less effective for pest control and potentially hazardous to people and pets.

That's 100% a gimmick you'll likely get sick of within a few years, which is a bad thing when you're dealing with an appliance that costs $2k+.

But I'm generally of the 'stick to basic, timeless looks & don't buy gimmicks unless you're really really committed to using them forever' school of thought with appliances. That applies to smart appliances too - unless you're 100% invested in whatever added functionality there is, chances are that a)you won't actually gain much over a traditional appliance, and b)it's going to make the appliance crap out more often because you added a bunch of new failure points.

As long as you don't have electrician bees, you're fine.

Concrobium! I feel like they owe me money for how often I've pushed their product, but it's amazing how many people attempt to treat mold problems with bleach.

Consider the type of person who's Concerned enough to join Nextdoor and inform everyone else about suspicious people in the area.

it’s a bit kludgy and kind of a pain in the rear end to setup and keep updated.
Sounds like a typical smart appliance/home thing to me.
