  • Apply DE: Lightly dust diatomaceous earth over the infested areas using a brush or applicator. Avoid over-applying; a thin, even layer is most effective.
  • Leave it undisturbed: Allow the powder to sit for several days to a week. Bedbugs will crawl through the powder and perish.
  • Reapply if necessary: After vacuuming, reapply to maintain protection and target any newly hatched bugs.

    • Additional Tips

    • Use food-grade diatomaceous earth only, as other types can be harmful to humans and pets.
    • Wear a mask while applying to avoid inhaling fine particles.
    • Combine DE treatment with regular cleaning and laundering of bedding in hot water to maximize effectiveness.
