Notes
Lightly sprinkle on the carpet, leave for half an hour, then vacuum.
Safety: keep pets (especially cats) and kids out of the room until it is vacuumed, citrus and lavender oils are toxic to cats, and fine powders irritate lungs. Use only food-grade diatomaceous earth and avoid breathing the dust (it is drying to airways even though it harmless). Test on a hidden patch of carpet first. Label the jar not food.
