Do NOT Use Diatomaceous Earth to Kill Bed Bugs  

Telling people not to use something that is inexpensive and actually works because it may clog their vacuum or make his product useless is wild

Indirectly tried to sell his product.

Dude couldn't pronounce it to save his life! 🤭 Diatomaceous earth works really well on all kinds of bugs. It makes tiny cuts in their exoskeleton causing them to dehydrate then die

Bugs don't become resistant to DE but they do to his chemicals tho.

It's all natural don't trust a bug guy

And he's selling something.

IDGAF LONG AS I DONT HAVE NO CREEPY CRAWLERS

"active ingredients" its mostly silica. Diatamacious earth is made from the remains of tiny aquatic organism called diatoms. Diatamacious earth is basically a super tiny pile of pointy rocks. it works by getting stuck in exoskeleton joints and scratching up there carapaces, causing them to dehydrate because it obsorbs all the water from there body via the lacerations. you are basically "death by 1000 cuts" to any insect with an exoskeleton. (its also why its non-toxic...because its effectivly just really fine "dirt"

I used the stuff and it worked. I had no issues vacuuming it up and I haven't had any more bed bugs

You need not listen to this guy. He just wants the job. DM has so many uses. It's a great health benefit for you and your dogs. Research it. This guy's a jerk

Its hard to take advice from someone who cant pronounce the thing hes telling you not to use....

Screw the vacuum. If the bugs go. I'll happily buy another. I don't like being food

I'm a exterminator. Please don't use something that works. So I can keep charging you over and over

I've never ever seen anybody say not to use DE.

Never heard of diatramessic earth

Of course he’s gonna say that because it’s literally the easiest and cheapest way to get rid of bugs. He probably charges thousands of dollars for his services and he doesn’t want the word out about a powder you can buy for under 20$ 😂

Yeah this guy is trying to sell his product and doesn't even want to help people. Diatomacious earth is a fantastic product perfectly safe and yes you can vacuum it up so sorry for all the trouble of having to clean the filter in your vacuum but it's far better than the chemicals that he would put down to control the pests. I'm one of those guys out there who's put it down and it's very easy to clean up with your vacuum and any cleaner vacuum.It is actually less of a pain than is the skin ash that we all have in our homes that we vacuum up all the time.

So knock a perfect product to sell ur own

Don't ever put down diaturmasic earth. Also don't try to clean your vacuum! You will likely die

Don't use this really effective product that will kill bed bugs better than my product that I'll have to reapply over and over again because the little bastards have developed a resistance.

Diatra who?😂 , I cringe too sir.

He's deathly afraid of the great statistics..

"Diatomsnasss ditomatoss ditameeellama" - 😂😂

It works very well for all types of guys. Its non toxic. It fine power to us, but to bugs, it's like a sea of razor blades

You should add how much it can mess people up , that come into contact with it. Of course , I’m not talking about the food grade kind. Long term side effects , that will take all of your energy , make it to where you absolutely can not tolerate any stress. My boss didn’t bother telling me I should air out a rental before & during the vacuuming process. Hoping I’m not screwed for life over this!

If you use any type of carpet powder you should only use a vacuum with a multi layer OEM bag to clean it up, and replace the bag afterwards.

And yet this is what pest controllers put inside their vacuums when they work...

Well, I'm more skeptical of this guy than the Diatomaceous Earth product. Firstly, he's selling his product. Secondly, he doesn't talk about the effectiveness or lack thereof of the product, but all he can say is that it's difficult to use. Thirdly, using Diatomaceous earth is a thorn in his business, so of course, he will disregard it.

DE alone and using it inexperienced doesn't work...but with the correct approach it does help. I was a maintenance worker in a 752 unit apartment complex and i worked with our local bug men. They used Diatomaceous Earth and Silica. It will not work as soon as you put it down but around 2-4 weeks of applying, the bites will decrease and you will see dead ones appearing. Most of these exterminator companies will tell you it doesn't work at all because if everyone finds out, they lose money...so they tell you it doesn't work to protect their pockets. Which is also dangerous to trying to curb the bedbug issues we have due to some not being able to afford $300-$800 dollars for exterminator fees, so most will just sit and live in agony while the hells roaches grow and grow...but when you can atleast create a small DIY for $12-$20 bucks, have at it. But how they should say it is this ALONE and carelessness will not work. Don't put piles and piles of it everywhere as for they can see it and detect it and will easily maneuver around it of crawl up walls and just drop on you. Use a duster or a simple salt shaker to apply a small dusting on base boards and bedframes. Also lightly dust the lining of your mattress. Vacuuming should be your best option daily when trying to help the issue also. Once done vacuuming, empty the vacuum ASAP and dispose of the trash them detach the hoses and clean them and vacuum a small pile of Diatomaceous in to the vacuum. We did this and saw great results.

U can buy a new filter or a vacuum with a washable filter 😂😂

Now im thinking this stuff works.

I’ve used DE for this very problem and it worked amazingly well. You dont use very much, only sparingly. After they all died I vacuumed it all up easily.

Never trust someone who can't pronounce the product he's telling you not to use.

Dude wants his cash

That's funny this is a fake interview there's nobody actually else in the room with him

He's pronouncing it all wrong. There's no "tre" in the name if it.

There is no active ingredient in DE

I use it all the time. I love it.

🤣🤣🤣. Clean it. No different than carpet powder Geeze people will complain about ANYTHING.

Use a broom?

🤣🤣🤣. Clean it. No different than carpet powder Geeze people will complain about ANYTHING. No r dude theres NO R IN IT!

acording, to unstruccions on rhe bag. if mixed with liquid it ceaces to work!

Cause oc hes trying to sell HIS PRODUCT. Oc

If he's saying g not to use that powder than he's a fraud.

It is best on hard surfaces...but his take is kinda ridiculous

Diatomasic?

He's not an expert. He's no where close to saying the word correctly. Nobody should be taking his advice.

Don't use what works. Buy his products. Lmao. DE works amazing for fleas too.

Worked for me

Ignorant salesman
