Bedbugs have a canny ability to hide. Though the methods above should get rid of them completely, especially when done repeatedly, there might be those stubborn few who survive.
That’s where Diatomaceous Earth comes in. Diatomaceous Earth is a natural soft rock that contains silica. It’s easily crushed into a fine dust that can be poured on the edges of the mattress, box spring, and bed frames where bedbugs hide.
Diatomaceous Earth or D.E works by piercing bedbug’s soft exoskeleton and damaging their organs, leading to death. Though it looks like fine dust, it feels like shards of glass to bedbugs and other small creatures.
Just use a safe pesticide grade D.E for maximum effect. D.E takes some time to work, but you should see incredible results in a week or so’s time.
Please be careful when handling this product, it is harmful to pets, and humans, especially when breathed in.
