If you are tired of using chemical pesticides to get rid of these bugs and want to try an all natural product, then we offer you our bed bug powder. It is made in the USA and is an organic product. The particles of earth are very small and will not cause any harm to humans or pets. Of all the pesticides used for bed bug control, Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is probably the least toxic. DE isn’t really a pesticide, but it works by cutting open the exoskeleton of insects by physical contact which causes them to dehydrate and die. It kills both bed bugs and their eggs. You can use DE for bed bugs by dusting it over your bed, your room or even the whole house. If you’re looking for a natural way to get rid of bed bugs, diatomaceous earth (DE) is a great choice. DE is basically crushed fossils and has microscopic edges that can slice through a bed bug’s armor. So no more bites or creepy crawly creatures crawling all over your stuff. You can’t see them, at least not until it’s too late – they’re hard to kill, but harmless if you’re not allergic to them. So keep reading for more information about this powder, how it works, and how you can use it to get rid of bed bugs!
Bed Bug Powder Diatomaceous Earth
Step 1
Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a fine powder made from fossilized algae.
It works by scraping the outer layer of a bed bug’s body and drying them out, killing them within hours. Unlike other pesticides, it only kills bugs on dry surfaces while leaving people, pets and the environment unharmed.
Step 2
Now that you have a good idea of how diatomaceous earth works, it’s time to buy some and get started. Here are the items you should purchase:
- Diatomaceous earth powder. The best quality diatomaceous earth is food grade, which means it’s safe for human consumption and won’t cause any health problems if you accidentally ingest it. It can be purchased online or in many garden supply stores in your area.
- An applicator capable of applying the powder effectively. There are many different types of applicators, including shakers, sprays, dusters and more; they all work differently depending on what kind of coverage you want and how big an area needs to be treated (see our article on choosing an applicator).
- A mask with goggles or glasses attached to protect yourself from inhaling the dust created by shaking the container; some masks will come with goggles attached as well as extra filters for easier breathing when wearing for long periods at once such as overnight stays away from home during bed bug treatment procedures (see our articles about how long does diatomaceous earth work? How much do I need?). See tips below regarding wearing proper clothing during this process so as not too sweat too much which would defeat purpose!
Step 3
When you’re spreading the powder around your home, you want to make sure that it is spread evenly. This can be difficult to do on your own and a paintbrush can help with this process.
If you are using a paintbrush, simply dip it into the powder and then move it around in small circles until all of the dust has been picked up by the bristles. Then place this dust in an area where there is plenty of bedbug activity or where you think there may be some hiding.
For example: If there is an area that shows signs of bugs (such as feces), use a large brush or roller to apply an even layer over top of these areas so that when we later return for inspection, we will know if any live bugs have been killed by our treatment methods before cleaning up again with soap & water after checking whether any dead ones remain (or else leave behind).
You should also ensure that no liquid spills onto floors where pets might walk through them later—especially if they lick themselves afterwards!
Step 4
- Apply the powder with a brush and a duster.
A dust mask and goggles should be worn when applying DE, as well as gloves if possible.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any excess powder after application for best results. If you do not have access to a vacuum cleaner, use another method (for example: shaking out furniture cushions or vacuuming them) to remove excess powder from floors and carpets before it gets tracked around by family members or pets.
Step 5
After a few days, check the powder to make sure it is still there. If you do not see any bed bugs, repeat this process every few days until you have not seen any bed bugs for a few weeks. When using diatomaceous earth as an insecticide against pests such as bed bugs, be sure to use only food grade DE and follow all label directions carefully.
Bed bugs are resistant to most common insecticides. Use diatomaceous earth to solve your problem.
Diatomaceous earth, or DE for short, is a natural substance made from the fossilized remains of aquatic plants. It’s often used as a pesticide because it contains sharp edges that cut into insect exoskeletons, damaging their internal organs. Bed bugs are resistant to most common insecticides but they can’t survive in diatomaceous earth. Because of this, diatomaceous earth makes an excellent tool when trying to eliminate bed bugs in your home.
To use diatomaceous earth effectively against bed bugs:
- Dust your mattress and box spring with six tablespoons of DE per square foot of surface area (approximately 1/4 teaspoon). The dust should be visible on the fabric so that you know where it has been applied. You may have to repeat this process several times before all pests are eliminated because it doesn’t kill them immediately; most will die within a few days after contact with the dust but some might take up to two weeks before dying from exposure.* Dust along baseboards and window frames (but not near vents or ducts) every two weeks until no new insects appear in your bedroom.* Vacuum up dead insects regularly—at least weekly at first—to keep them from contaminating other parts of your home.* Consider buying an airtight mattress cover for added protection against future infestations by other types
