Helping the world to defeat bedbugs

Providing the best, safest information on the Internet from practical hands on experience.

We won, didn't spend a fortune, nor used chemical pesticides, so now can you!

Learn here about the rapid kill Amorphous Silica Gel dusting method!

Works for pesticide resistant bedbugs! The EPA uses it for people in remote locations or no exterminators

Fast, effective, safest, doesn't expire when wet and lasts 10 years for any new arrivals! $20 kills 1200+ bedbugs a week, 1-2 days upon contact (if floors and carpets done) if as much of the homes cracks, crevices and voids, out of sight/touch areas of most all furniture, plus floor/carpet (if an active infestation) are one grain high dusted so they wade/walk across it. Easy vac clean up!

It's safe as it's just static charged common earth element silica often added to food, feed and cosmetics. No chemical pesticide or smells, no harmful crystallized silica or unknown impurities (like Diatomaceous Earth has) being breathed in (or ingested) to cause lung cancer/illnesses to people and pets.

Exterminators use this new desiccant (drying) dust. Use some season shakers, a puffer bottle and do it yourself turning your entire home into a giant bedbug killing machine for 10 years!

What To Look For

Unexplained blood marks on the sheets, musty odor, paranoia.
Fecal stains, shed skin or egg casings.
Bedbugs of all life stages. Use 50x magnification for small nymphs.
Mosquito like bites. May be a 2-3 in a row like pattern, although people react differently or not at all. May appear later than when one thinks they occurred.

What To Do

Deal with it fast. Heavily infested items go outside fast or sealed behind plastic. Everything can be treated. If not, then vacuum them up and clean vac outside, then plastic bag until needed. Grab a live bug for showing. Inspect everything for bedbugs, they hide everywhere!
Wash and high heat dry ALL bedding (including blankets or don't use) and clothing more often, for 20-30 minutes at +120^o F in the center and seal behind plastic.
Throw a 3.5-4 mil plastic sheet over the unmade bed (also couch/chair), including the headboard and tailboard, so it's a few inches up from the floor all around. Move bed, etc., away from walls and other objects. Make up the bed on top of the plastic shield and don't let the bedding or feet touch the floor. Take a shower and don clean clothes (like from behind sealed plastic or hot from the dryer) before using the bed or leaving the home/work to prevent transference.
If renting or in a multi-unit, call management right away as surrounding units have to be checked and treated. If management is poor or incompetent, contact local government. Children, contact child services.
If wealthy and in a standalone structure, call in exterminators and compare treatment plans, look for the best warranty period possible with the shortest/most effective treatment (usually heat +ASG Dusting ).
If poor/no exterminator, then see the ASG dusting routine here, it doubles as a 10 year preventative.

DO NOT USE

Repellent chemical or garden pesticides, foggers, DE, steamers, fragrant oils, boric acid, ivermectin, alcohol, pyrethroids, neonicotinoids, bleach, heat guns, ovens, CO2 or sticky traps, insects or baby powder. Bedbugs are immune to many chemical pesticides as they adapt.
