bed bug powder : four cheap powders to end the nightmare

We used this to get rid of the bedbugs in our house.
crystal silica gel cat litter crushed and powdered.
Click on "more info" on the right for more details.
Amorphous silica gel is not toxic. Silica gel in the packets sometimes has added poison and that is why it says "don't eat." If silica gel were poisonous would they use it for cats? No. Grind up the beads in a desiccant packet and test it in a container with a few bedbugs. They will be dry and dead within hours.
these can kill bedbugs cheaply, except for the cement you have to grind the items in the video to a fine, fine powder. The diatom filter powder will work as is but it would be better if it is ground to a finer powder. these are common or cheap items, silica gel is the main ingredient in Drione, other bed bug powders contain silica gel powder or diatomaceous earth. Even sand ground to a fine fine powder may work. These powders stick to the exoskeleton of the bedbug, absorb its lipids and then allows it to dehydrate in hours. (The cement may take a couple of days to work.) Test these items by putting the powder you make into a container with the bedbugs and in a couple of hours they will be dehydrated and dead.(The cement will take a couple of days.)
Mix the powders with a little insecticide(except the cement) if you want. I have to admit that I miss the bedbugs. I had fun experimenting with the powders. Now the bedbugs are all dead and the experimental fun is over.
Think about this. Drione dust is silica gel powder and pyrethrins. The pyrethrins are only effective for a couple of days because they break down in air and then all that is working is the silica gel. Silica gel is all you need.
Silica gel powder can also be used to dry flowers.

I have recently successfully used food grade, amorphous DE to rid my home of a small invasion of unwanted bedbugs. I took care to wear a good quality dust mask so as not to breathe in the powder as it's not a good idea to breathe in any type of dust/powder. A light dusting of DE took care of the little critters - it's brilliant stuff!

Amorphous DE and silica gel are basically the same thing. I'm glad it worked for you and I hope some of the people try what you did. Lucky you. However, I would not worry too much about breathing it. It is basically a form of sand and I am sure people who go to the beach every day, year after year breath sand. The powder are a harmless form of sand.

Cement has asbestos in it. Really deadly if you breath any in. If you just want to dry the bugs up, why not using body talc or foot powder.

@born200200

I have not tried talc but I don't think it will work.  There has to be silicon dioxide to kill them and talc is feldspar as far as I can remember.

Sorry kids but do not listen to this shit...they become immuned to any pesticide within one month...believe no one...Move...thats all one can do.

Great information. DE is a good choice. Its not like most pesticides that are nerve toxins.

Sarah Carter and her 2 friends got sick after sleeping in a pesticide treated bed at the Downtown Inn Hotel in Chiang Mai. Sarah died! Search the names and you will find that some seven people have died in this unfolding story.

Check out the Good Knight “bed-bug-proof bed” video, it’s a bed that fights back! Without pesticides!

@jackcarpentersax

Cockroach extermination: Borox laundry soap, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder. They want the flour, so they eat the mixture. The Borax kills them and the cocoa power masks the taste of the Borax. This combo REALLY works. You just throw it down all over the affected area. And in the walls if possible. Google cockroaches, borax, flour, cocoa and you will see the testimonials. I would use whole wheat flour rather than white flour. More nutrition = more attraction.

@jackcarpentersax It took several weeks before my daughter had no bites but it was worth it. I asked the respiratory specialist about breathing in the powder (I'm an asthmatic) and he said people in general should avoid breathing in any type of powder 'in quantity'. If you're careful with the application of DE i.e. don't puff it around while using it, then it should be fine :) Have to admit to reluctantly using a little surface spray as well. Don't know if that helped or not.

@diamondrio21 DE=Diatomaceous Earth. After lots of research, I decided on amorphous, food grade, DE (not pool DE). Apply sparingly with paintbrush around bed legs, in furniture joinery, along carpet at wall, in/around electrical sockets, any cracks and along mattress seams. I also bought an anti bedbug mattress cover. Be patient: bugs must cross powder to get to you. Don't let bedding touch carpet. After 2 wks with no bites, vacuum/clean carefully. Wear mask - no powder is good to breathe in.

Also, I just put some dry wall stuff for instulation was that a good idea? I will say I I still to this day have the DA all around my room. You could say I , "Tony Montana it lol" n theses SOB still kept comming back. You would think by now they would of been gone for good. Also to note I have nothing one my walls or no cloths in my dress just my stuffs been in big black gargage bags for 6 month w little to no problems. The real thing at the moment I could complain about is the light bill.

[StefaniCapone]

I have been sleeping w/ my lights on since Jan when I found out that they don't like light. It has worked fine. But, now I am staring to seem them again. Haven't goten bitten but, I probalby will bc I have been sleeping w/ out my raido and they proably have been hidingin there and now ready to attack .What should I do??
