How to get rid of bed
bugs is a question many people are asking themselves that they because of a
worldwide infestation of these pesky critters. You are apt to find them in some of the finest
hotels in the United States ,
or for that matter the rest of the world. Bedbugs come out at night when you
are sleeping to feed on your blood like little vampires. Although they don't
cause any known diseases their bites can leave you with a nasty set of welts. Even though many products
are now on the market purporting to kill bedbugs there is a simple nonpoisonous
method that anyone can apply to rid themselves of these varmints.
This is a common material called diatomaceous earth
that kills not only bedbugs but many other insects because it is made from the fossilized skeletons of
long dead freshwater algae that has settled to the bottom of the lake after
only living for a few days.
This marvel is readily available in feed stores or garden
centers because it also has many uses besides killing bugs. How it works is
like this, the skeletal remains of the algae are made from silica that has very
sharp edges that are capable of penetrating the layer of a waxy like substance
that coats all insects. Once this coating called chitin has been penetrated by
the sharp silica the bug literally dries up and blows away my losing his body
fluids. Unlike some chemical pesticides that react within a matter of minutes,
diatomaceous earth works a matter of a few hours, but it is very thorough.
Not only can diatomaceous earth rid your house and bedbugs,
but is also effective in many of the other insects that are found in your home
too. Another pest that you can find in your house is the cockroach by
sprinkling a little diatomaceous earth around where the cockroaches run it will
also very effectively cleaned out that infestation too. Answer yet another
scourge of the householder is ants using the same technique of sprinkling some
diatomaceous earth where they run will also illuminate this past.
Not only is diatomaceous earth a powerful and effective
insecticide that also has many health benefits for both you and your pets. You
can use this product both externally and internally one of the most effective
uses is deworming your pets or yourself.
