Diatomaceous Earth

 

Why should I use DE to kill bugs?

Diatomaceous earth, or DE dust, is one of the most effective products you can use to kill bed bugs, ants, cockroaches and other insect pests.

If you’re doing pest control yourself (DIY pest control), you definitely should use DE as a control strategy.

 

Is DE all natural?

Yes, DE is an all-natural bug killer. It is made from the fossilized remains of diatoms, or aquatic plant life, that lived millions of years ago. DE does not contain toxins or insecticide chemicals. This makes DE ideal for natural pest control. It is safe to use indoors and in homes with pets and children.

 

How does DE kill bugs?

When bugs walk through an application of DE, the diatoms cut and scratch the bugs’ waxy exoskeleton. This causes bugs to lose moisture and to dry out and die.

 

How do I use DE to kill bugs?

The experts at Pest HQ suggest applying the tiniest amount of DE – a little goes a long way. You want bugs to walk through it and get scratched, not to avoid it like you would when faced with a tall snowbank.
