Review: Excellent pest control product - The product is as delivered quickly and in great condition. The price and value was excellent. I bought the product to help solve a gnat problem with my house plants and it worked. Highly recommend
Review: Use for bedbugs, create little "moats" by every door - I am using this for treatment of bedbugs. This note will only be of interest to those others who are searching for how to kill bedbugs, There is a bit of learning curve on that battle, but i douse my entire bed every night with this stuff, coating my entire sheet with this stuff, and so i like that it is not poisonous for me to lie on. And i also liberally dust the edges of carpets and entire carpet with it. Currently, every item in my home is white with this stuff at this time, ------until i am 100% sure i have solved bedbug problem. I create 2 inch tall ridges of this powder by every door, ---------to help reduce the chance of bedbugs moving from room to room. Bedbugs will NOT crawl over a pile of this powder, and i leave them no room to go around it. Makes it easier to control their moves. I insert this stuff into every crevice, every outlet, every light-switch plate, Every where. WEAR A GOOD MASK to place this powder down. I fill up my entire bed a few hours prior to sleeping in bed, so that the dust can settle to reduce my risk of inhaling this dust. This dust does take a while to settle back down, so leave that room until the dust settles down. I bought a duster to puff this stuff all over my room. To refill the duster, it is easier to dip the duster into this large bag, than it is to try to pour this powder INTO the duster. I also use mitten clips to hold my bedspread from touching floor, just in case. I spray entire bedframe and used double sticky tape as well as slippery tape around wherever my bedframe touches the floor. These bugs can not climb up anything too slippery. IT is a lot of work to fight these bugs. I wash all my bedding daily, and just toss bedspread into dryer x 30 minutes every day. I keep all clothing in clear recycle bags, so i can see what clothes are in which bags. It is a lot of work to fight these bugs. I also very carefully pat this dust onto my face prior to going to sleep,(i bought a powder puff for that reason, but this must be done so carefully so you don't inhale powder) and i put this on my whole body., to repel the bugs and if they DO come on me they will die from that powder getting on to them. This diatomaceous earth powder is very drying to my skin, but, it is worth it to me at this stage of the battle. I will win! Even just placing the powder down on your bed, and sofa or in your room, or even just sleeping in a bed full of this powder, --------somehow can give you enough absorbed into your stomach that you can end up having a slight laxative effect, (although i did not ever eat any of the powder.) SEems to be working to control bugs, as one part of a multi-pronged approach, i am also using Bedlam spray, and Cyonara insecticide, mattress bags, heated my car up outside x 8 hours every day, and i plan to also heat my bedroom with heaters x 8 hours per day x 5 days. I will win. I can not reach the recommended hot temp of 120 to kill the bedbugs in an hour, but, if you just heat the room for many many hours? Like 8 hours, you can kill them, even at lower heat. I place the heaters on upside down metal cake pans, to hold heater up off of carpetting, and to prevent the hot pan from scorching my carpet? ----i place the cake pans on top of silicone cookie sheets, and i have a fire extinguisher at the ready, as well. i will win.
