How to get rid of bed bugs

Want to know how to get rid of bed bugs without reading this entire site or without spending a fortune on pest control? I’m going to explain how you can do this yourself using natural products found at most stores.

- Perhaps you live in an apartment complex and the owner feels it’s too expensive to hire a pest control company;

- Perhaps you want to erect a barrier that will prevent bed bugs from entering your apartment or condo;

- Perhaps you have been bitten, are afraid that your brought them home with you and want to prevent them from spreading?

- Perhaps you have no idea what is biting you, but want to put an end to it?

How to get rid of bed bugs is as simple as spreading around a power called Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (also know as Silica Dioxide or Silicone Dioxide). This is non toxic, can be purchased at just about any feed and supply store and as you can read from visitor comments, works great!

Some people have had luck with flea and tick power which does the same thing as Diatomaceous Earth; that is, it dehydrates the bugs and causes them to die.

You spread this around your room (create a perimeter) and when the bed bugs cross the dust / power, they coat themselves and become dehydrated.

That is exactly how to get rid of bed bugs and prevent them from entering your rooms, etc.

Just this week I read a report where a team of scientists have found a way to scare bed bugs.

Bed bugs usually don’t come out to feed until humans are in a deep sleep which seems to be around 4am. They don’t usually appear in the day and can be very hard to spot (they are good at hiding!).

By spraying an area with a synthetic version of a bed bug’s alarm pheromones, bed bugs were found to start moving within five minutes after the application regardless of the time of day!

Diatomaceous Earth works great as long as the bed bugs walk through the power; with this new discovery, the bed bugs become so agitated, it’s almost guaranteed they’ll cover themselves with dust (provided it’s applied in the right locations).

There needs to be more testing before you’ll be able to buy Diatomaceous Earth mixed with these alarm pheromones, but if all goes well, you should start seeing products very soon.

For now, the best way to kill bed bugs is by applying Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth in the right locations. There are a ton of comments from visitors from around the world explaining how they got rid of bed bugs using this natural power found on our bed bug treatment page.

Warning! Make sure it’s FOOD GRADE Diatomaceous Earth – if it isn’t, it’s dangerously unhealthy!
Diatomaceous Earth (aka Fossil Shell Flour) is sometimes found in amorphous form, which can cause silicosis; it should NEVER be mentioned without a safety warning near enough so it can’t be missed. On the other hand, food-grade DE is considered a safe additive in foods and feed, and regularly used to prevent digestive infestations. In livestock.
