Harris Bed Bug Killer, Diatomaceous Earth (4lb with Duster Included Inside The Bag)

THIS STUFF WORKS!!!!!!! I GOT RID OF THE BED BUG PROBLEM AND HERE IS HOW I DID IT!!! I got a new bedbug problem because of one of my previous 2 roommates who took over a bedroom in my apartment in quick succession. Soon after, an overnight guest visitor of mine complained promptly of huge rashes. I looked up and sure enough, there were HUGE bed bugs around the mattress. There were smaller bed bugs and almost transparent albino like little bedbugs, which showed they were reproducing. The room was about 9 ft x 12 ft. Before you begin the treatment, always remember to wear work-horse clothes you intend to sully and wash away because small bedbugs or eggs can stick to your clothes and you might unwittingly transport them out of the room to new areas. After every step you might want to head straight to the bathroom, put your clothes in a plastic bag to laundry or put them in scalding hot water for an hour. And then dry them at high temperature to kill any eggs that might have gotten on to your clothes while you were treating the room. 1) I took out the bedsheets and the pillow covers out. I took these pillows and blankets/sheets/bed-covers/pillow covers separately into separate plastic bags outside the house in a shed. They would be put in for washing after 2 weeks. (There is a reason to this - bedbugs start migrating after 5 days of not receiving food and 14 days is enough to starve them for the time being, before taking the bedcovers, sheets, pillow covers and blankets to the laundromat. I will come down to this again later. 2) after a lot of research, I sprayed, using the anti bedbug spray nozzle attached to the gallon, in every single little crevice, in all corners and seams of the mattress and the covers (which I had take over into the plastic cover outside). I also sprayed the bed frame in every little crevice, nook, cranny, joint and fold of the frame. I also sprayed the table and the floors under the bed frame, the walls as well! I left the room as is for the next 2 days. Checked it. Many bedbugs were still alive, but it appeared that they had weakened. 3) REMEMBER THAT THE MATTRESS AND the bed frame must be very dry before you progress to the next step! Now it was time for the diatomaceous earth to do its magic! I took a painstaking 1 whole day, from morning 11am to evening 5pm to work on this treatment. I used the diatomaceous earth GENEROUSLY with the nozzle, to put a huge load of dust into every single seam, corner, above and under the seam, or a fold, around the bed, at the inside above and inside under at the top of perimeter of the mattress and the under perimeter of the mattress. Effectively I had caked every single corner of the seams and folds and crevice of the mattress with the diatomaceous earth. If I found physically big bed bugs, i killed them. I killed every I could get my hands on. Remember every big bug is worth a thousand of the new generation. I used copious amounts of the diatomaceous earth in every book and cranny, crevice and fold of the bed frame, not just the mattress. Same thing for the walls, the study table next to it and even the FLOOR, around the legs, to prevent the bed bugs from migrating and I put huge powder perimeters around the bed and also at the room entrance to stop them from exiting the room and migrating to the living room where we sat for TV... I left the room untouched for about 8-9 days... the results normally say that bedbugs start drying out and dying in just 3 days and most start dying in 5-7 days, the eggs and larvae die out faster when they come in touch with the earth. I treated the room in this procedure with diatomaceous earth for a 2nd time, just in case, and let it alone again for another week. I was nervous if it had worked.... IT HAD WORKED!!!!! I HAD LITERALLY OBLITERATED the whole room with diatomaceous earth everywhere and let it work its magic for 2.5 weeks and now it was a roaring success!! My new flatmate who temporarily stayed in another guest room, upon moving in there, had zero complaints! I looked up the crevices and folds, I could see dead bedbugs dried out and their shells everywhere. This is the second time I have had a great experience with diatomaceous earth. I had done this exact same treatment in the year 2007 and it had worked very well!!!!!!! :) the room is free of bed bugs and i know how to defeat them! I have seen infestations far more serious than mine... I dont know how I'd take care of those. But my current infestation was a new one so it was probably relatively less spread out and easier to defeat. But I've won this battle twice now, once in 2007 and now in 2019! I am a satisfied customer and I know it works! You just have to be really thorough. Going back to the clothes, pillow covers, blankets, sheets, etc, I put them in scalding hot water in a bucket, then took them to the laundry to launder them and dried them at very high heat for 40 minutes. This destroys every bug and egg. The job was well done! My home is still bug free and I didn't sacrifice any furniture or linen or pillows. Good luck!

I found bed bugs all over the edges of my bedridden daughter's bed...it was horrible. I used this dust liberally all over the mattress, box springs, head and foot boards then put the mattress in a plastic zip up cover. Then I dusted under the bed and up the walls about halfway...and dusted in the doorway so if any tried to crawl out into another room. It worked great! No evidence of any more bugs. But when using the dusting tool it comes with squeeze gently when dispensing it. The harder you squeeze the more powder flies into the air.

This stuff is messy. It gets everywhere! Think about cooking flour, every time you use it you have it all over the place but you can very easily vacuum it up where you don't want it. But the best part is, it works. Put on a face mask and rubber gloves, fill up the lil puffer cup, put the top on and squeeze it wherever you want it. Now the thing about this stuff is it doesn't kill bed bugs (or any other crawling bugs) on contact. It covers them when they crawl through it, then it drys them out and they die. You can cover your bed (not where you sleep because it will dry you out too!!) where it meets the boxspring, under your bed, around your bed, along the wall by your bed, around your nightstand and your dresser or you can just lay down a carpet of the stuff in your room and vacuum a pathway for you to walk. Now remember bed bugs lay a LOT of eggs so you might think you got them all after a week or two. Vacuum up the older powder and lay down some new powder to get the eggs that have just hatched. I would say keep this up for at least one year. I have been doing this since January and I would say I'm bed bug free. I will still continue until I hit next January. I still keep a can of spray handy for when I see one crawling around but haven't seen one or gotten a bite in a very long time. I also got a boxspring cover a put a LOT of this powder in and zipped it up. If you do use a spray to kill bed bugs do not spray the powder as it will not work. Make sure to keep it dry. So using it in the bathroom isn't a very good idea. I do have pets, one small dog and two cats and this doesn't seem to bother them. They don't like it when I put the powder down so they stay away and I just shut my bedroom door until the powder settles. In the war against bed bugs i would say this is one of the best things you could have.
