Casa De Amor Diatomaceous Earth, 100% Natural, Organic and Safe (900gm)

I highly recommend watching the video on YouTube by Mark Rober about bedbugs. Treat it like the bible for getting rid of bedbugs. My Story: We had an influx of domestic helpers and workers going in and out of our house, and because of this, our house became infested with bedbugs. After thoroughly studying Mark's video, I first started looking for hotspots where I might find them. While bedbugs could live all over your house, they don't travel long distances. They prefer to stay close to where people rest for extended periods – typically within about 2.5 metres (8 feet) of where you sleep or sit. Where to Look: Seams and creases of mattresses and box springs Bed frames, especially corners and joints Upholstered furniture where you sit for long periods (I found them on my computer chair!) Cracks in headboards and bed frames Electrical switchboards and switch plates near beds Behind picture frames and wall hangings near sleeping areas Clothes piled on the floor or on chairs Looking behind the television in another room or far from your bed probably won't help – chances are there won't be any there. Why Diatomaceous Earth (DE)? Since heat treatment requires reaching and maintaining specific temperatures (around 49°C or higher) throughout all infested areas, it's difficult to achieve effectively at home without professional equipment. Concentrated heat on furniture can also damage it and won't reach all the bugs. The best DIY method I learned from Mark's video was diatomaceous earth. I'd never heard of it, but with my family's comfort at stake, I researched it thoroughly. What is DE? It's a very fine powder made from fossilised algae. It works by physically damaging the waxy outer coating of bedbugs, causing them to dehydrate and die. This is a physical process, not a chemical one. Important: Use FOOD-GRADE Diatomaceous Earth only. How to Apply (This is Critical): The key is applying DE as a LIGHT DUSTING, not thick piles. Bedbugs will avoid thick powder but will walk through a light dust without detecting it. Wear Protection: Use an N95 mask, safety glasses, and gloves. While food-grade DE is non-toxic if ingested, inhaling fine dust can irritate your lungs, eyes, and nose. Application Method: Use a small paintbrush, duster, or even a flour sifter. Sprinkle lightly and blow gently to create a fine dust cloud that settles. You want it to look barely visible – like a light coating of dust, NOT like you've spilled powder. Apply to skirting boards, bed frame joints, under furniture, carpet edges, and cracks/crevices. REMEMBER: Light and barely visible is the goal. Keep it Dry: DE only works when completely dry. Avoid using it in damp areas or where it might get wet. Other Essential Steps (Don't Skip These!): Heat-treat all fabrics: Wash bedding, curtains, and clothes in hot water (at least 49°C) and tumble dry on high heat for 30 minutes or more. Vacuum thoroughly before applying DE, then vacuum regularly (dispose of vacuum bags immediately in sealed plastic bags). Encase mattresses and box springs in bedbug-proof covers – this traps any bugs inside and protects against new ones. Reduce clutter to eliminate hiding spots. Be consistent for at least 4–6 weeks (not just 2 weeks) because eggs take time to hatch and newly hatched nymphs need to come into contact with the DE. Timeline & Expectations: It took about 4 weeks for me to be completely rid of them. You need to: Leave DE down for at least 4–6 weeks. Reapply after vacuuming. Stay vigilant and consistent. Continue checking for signs of activity. Bottom line: You can't be lazy for about 4–6 weeks, but after that, you can enjoy life as it was before the infestation. When to Call Professionals: If you have a severe infestation, live in an apartment building (where bugs can come from neighbouring flats), or don't see improvement after 6 weeks, consider hiring a licensed pest control professional. Prevention Tips: Inspect second-hand furniture carefully before bringing it home. Use protective covers when travelling. Be cautious when having service workers in your home. Regularly inspect sleeping areas. Final Verdict: I recommend this product 100%. It worked for me when used correctly and consistently. The key is proper application (light dusting), patience, and combining it with heat treatment of fabrics and mattress encasements. Best of luck! You can beat this.

Worked

This product does work on bedbugs. It is messy to use, yes, but you will find dehydrated (dead) bedbugs around the house. Use it as instructed. A friend had suggested making a solution with water and spraying it. It only begins its work when it's dry. Leave a generous layer of the powder around the room edges, on mattresses, under mattresses, base of furniture, inside the bookshelves, near switchboards, cracks and crevices, and near doors for a couple of days. Sweep the powder away and mop per usual. Repeat every few days if the house is badly infested. It also takes care of silverfish and ants. Did not do any harm to my cat as well over two weeks of treatment. (I repeated the treatment only because I was paranoid and wanted to be sure, otherwise I did not observe bedbug activity around the house right after the first use.) The only problem is the cleanup afterwards, but worth the hassle.

Product is a fine powder. It does have some smell of DDT or something else. Maybe it has insecticide.

Best use this to get rid of bedbugs i used every homemade tricks and methods to get rid of them but nothing worked until this this is best but caution spread it everywhere and leave the room for a day or 2 and then clean it cause large quantity in a tiled room can cause breathing problems at night so just consider that as it's said it's edible so no other phyological problem is their i guess. Use for bedbugs best solution they due due to dehydration you will find their exoskeletons laying around in a week use it for 15 days at corner and door ridges of you spread verywhere then leave the room for 2 days
