Bedbugs: the ingredient in your cupboards (and the garden) that helps eliminate them in record time

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Don’t over-apply: A thin, barely visible layer works better than piles.
• Avoid moisture: DE loses effectiveness when wet. Keep it dry!
• Use in combination: For heavy infestations, pair DE with steam cleaning or encasement covers for mattresses and pillows.

Bonus: It’s Great for the Garden, Too

If you already use DE to deter slugs, aphids, or ants in your garden, you know how effective it can be. Keeping some on hand for both indoor and outdoor pest control makes it a multitasking must-have.

Final Thoughts

Before you resort to expensive exterminators or harsh chemicals, try the natural, proven power of diatomaceous earth. Found in many cupboards or garden sheds, this fine white powder can eliminate bedbugs in record time—safely, affordably, and effectively.

Just one more reason to love what’s already in your home.
