It works. Google it. Go green, and it is safe for humans and pets.

"Home: Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth as an Organic Pesticide

Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is used around the house as an organic pesticide for the control of ants, cockroaches, silverfish, bedbugs, fleas, box elder bugs, scorpions, crickets, ticks, and many other unwelcome pests.

Natural ant control is one of the biggest reasons for the usage of Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth in and around the home. For complete ant control, simply sprinkle the area of concern with fossil shell flour (DE). When the ants or other pests come in contact with the powder, it is like stepping on broken glass; they will be killed or abandon the area."

Diatomaceous earth works for pests. Buy food safe and go green.

I remember when I went to Europe at age 19 with a large group of college kids. We stayed in a hotel in someplace in France and the legs of the bed were all in cans or dishes of water. My mother told me if I saw that anyplace it meant they had bedbugs.
Today, I can afford to stay in some pretty swanky hotels but I never put my suitcase on the floor, nor my purse on the floor of an airplane.

I agree! Diatomaceous Earth is the best, green way to get rid of bed bugs. I found a great supplier in the gardening site, Garden Harvest Supply
