Diatomaceous Earth works on a wide variety of crawling insects, including ants, earwigs, millipedes, centipedes, silverfish, cockroaches, crickets, fleas, carpet beetles, bed bugs, grasshoppers, and more.

If you need to clean up Diatomaceous Earth, first don a breathing mask and rubber gloves. D.E. is best cleaned using a wet towel or mop. If vacuuming, be sure to use a filterless vacuum.

Each bag of Lawn Restore covers up to 5,000 square feet. Apply granules after the last frost and again every 8 weeks.

Pantry Pest uses a time-release pheromone lure to attract male pantry moths to the trap. Once they enter, they get stuck on the sticky surface and die. This disrupts the breeding cycle to stop an infestation in its tracks.

If it’s an insect, the plant may have holes in its leaves. Turn the leaves over and you may see the insects themselves clustered on the underside of the leaves. You may also see and feel a sticky substance from secretions insects leave behind.
