All About Bed Bugs

with Diatomaceous Earth

 

Are Bed Bugs taking over your house? Feel that you are out of options and just want to get rid of the bed bugs now? A lot of products claim to get rid of bed bugs but require that you spray harmful chemicals throughout your house. Safer® Brand Ant and Crawling Insect Killer Powder utilizes Diatomaceous Earth to kill a variety of crawling insects including bed bugs, ants, earwigs, cockroaches, silverfish, crickets, millipedes and centipedes.

 

Typically, most bed bug solutions on the market include harmful chemicals and treatments that could possibly put you and your family at risk. Safer® Brand Ant and Crawling Insect Killer Powder is an organic solution that has been certified as OMRI Listed and USDA Compliant for use in organic gardening. Using Safer® Brand Ant and Crawling Insect Killer Powder puts your mind at ease knowing that you are eliminating your bed bug problem, without the harmful chemicals and risks.

 

But the question remains, what are bed bugs and why are they attacking my garden and house? This page provides you with a resource to learn more about these insects and best of all, find out how to get rid of them!

 

 

 

What?

Bed bugs have become increasingly resistant to most chemical pesticides and contributed to their resurgence. Using a product such as Safer® Brand Ant and Crawling Insect Killer Powder will help you eliminate bed bugs by killing them within 48 hours of ingestion. Best of all, this product is an organic solution that will not harm your family or your pet. Our powerful formula uses Diatomaceous Earth to kill Bed Bugs and other crawling insects upon ingestion.

 

 

How?

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a dust-like product that contains the crushed fossilized remains of diatoms. The dust is ingested by the bed bug, or crossing through the powder will cut their exoskeleton, causing them to dehydrate and die. The best part about Diatomaceous Earth is that insects cannot develop a resistance to it since there are no chemicals to which they can build up an immunity. If the area where the DE is applied becomes wet, it will need to be reapplied.

 

Diatomaceous Earth - Help & Advice All About Bed Bugs

But BEWARE.... all Diatomaceous Earth is not the same. Safer® Brand Ant and Crawling Insect Killer Powder with DE is made from a patented formula containing amorphous diatomaceous earth, known as silicon dioxide. This particular type of Diatomaceous Earth is derived from fresh water sources and is NOT the same as Diatomite DE which can be derived from unnatural sources and has been linked to cancer. You can shop confidently, knowing that Safer® Brand Ant and Crawling Insect Killer Powder is OMRI listed® and contains Amorphous DE.

 

 

When?

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) should be applied as soon as Bed Bugs are discovered.
