Bed bugs suck the blood out of you, literally. They're disgusting and hated by everyone, but difficult to get rid of. They are increasing rapidly and showing up in homes, hotels, even hospitals.
If you have bed bugs in your home you may have had problems getting rid of them, but there is a way to win this home game and here's how: A little known natural secret called Diatomaceous Earth.
Diatomaceous earth is also sometimes called fossil shell flour or diatomite. It is white to off-white powder, a soft siliceous solid composed of prehistoric skeletons of tiny single-celled aquatic plants known as diatoms. It has many uses, including natural pest control for pets, pest control for home, garden and farming. In its natural form it is organic, non-toxic and safe to use.
And it will kill your bed bugs without you having to put toxic chemicals in your bed, on your mattress and in your home.
Diatomaceous earth/diatomite is often used by naturally-minded pet owners to kill fleas, ticks, lice and other pests on dogs, cats and other animals. It is known as a mechanical insecticide. All natural, it kills by physical action, not chemical, by puncturing the insect's exoskeleton and absorbing the moisture in their bodies. It causes the bugs to dehydrate and die and can be very effective.
How to get rid of bed bugs
You put the diatomite in your bed, and when the bed bugs come to feast on you they will come into contact with the powder. Once they do, the powder will begin to kill the insects immediately. They have no defense.
In addition to killing bed bugs, diatomaceous earth is used by gardeners to help control garden pests like aphids, white flies, beetles, loopers, mites, leaf hoppers, and other pests. In your home, diatomaceous earth can be used to kill many other insects, including cockroaches, silverfish, ants, bedbugs, flies, fleas, box elder bugs, scorpions, crickets, and many other insects without introducing potentially harmful pesticides into your home.
Use only food grade diatomaceous earth in your home and around people or pets. Diatomaceous earth or diatomite that is produced for pool filters is treated with high heat (calcining) and a fluxing agent, causing the formerly amorphous silicon dioxide to assume its crystalline form, which is very sharp and should not be breathed. You should never use diatomaceous earth/diatomite that you may have around your home for use in your pool filter for any other purpose, including pest control.
So here's the new score for your home game: Diatomaceous Earth: 1. Bed Bugs: 0.
It's a home game. It's YOUR home. And your bed bugs lost.
Diatomaceous earth can be an affordable, safe and effective tool for combating bed bugs naturally and effectively. It is available from natural pet supply stores.
