Needless to say, it is not just a name; it has proven over time to produce effective pest repellents.

Safer Brand 51702 Diatomaceous Earth is one of the safest and most natural bed bug powders out there, derived from the naturally-occurring fresh-water algae called diatoms, which are not toxic to human beings or animals but are horrible for insects generally and bugs particularly.

How? The diatomaceous earth powder is very dry. When an insect or bug comes across it and it gets into its system, it sucks up all the moisture within its body, leaving it dehydrated and eventually killing it.

This bed bug dust works in two ways: it is either an insect ingests it or crawls across it. Either way, once it makes any form of contact, it is dead. So you don’t have to worry that the target insects may not walk across the line of this bed bug powder you have laid out for them; if it is spread in the house, it will work. It is that powerful.

Bed bugs cannot grow immune to this product because, unlike other bed bug chemicals, this product has no chemical for them to grow immune to. So they will always remain vulnerable to it.

Moreover, this bed bug killer powder works as well outside as it does inside. If you have this, you do not have to buy pesticides to keep away pests from your garden; this would take care of them for you. Its food-grade nature ensures safety for your garden produces and its non-toxicity ensures it is edible yet remains deadly to insects. Isn’t that amazing?

Hot Shot HG – 96084 Bedbug and Flea Killer Powder has the ability to kill bugs fast. Within the first twenty-four hours after application of this bed bug killer powder, you would find dead insects everywhere you applied it (This applies to when you have a mild to moderate infestation of insects, though).

This is a great feature because you would not have to wait for too long before you begin to see the effects of the poison. And the quicker you rid your environment of these pests, the earlier you can rest and get back to normalcy.

More so, it has a long residual property. This bug poison has the ability to keep killing any extra insect which may have escaped the powder in the first twenty-four hours, for the next few weeks. Not only does it save you the time it would take to reapply, it also saves you the money that may have been used for an extra bottle.

Its elimination power is not restricted to just bed bugs. Hot Shot HG also has the power to kill off and keep off other insects and pests like fleas. So as you are puffing it into cracks and crevices to get to hidden bed bugs, you may also inadvertently kill off fleas in the process.

Hot Shot HG contains some diatomaceous earth, one of the best natural insect killers available. Diatomaceous earth bed bugs can’t survive because it’s extremely dangerous to them so if they can, they steer clear of it. That is why this earth is the first port of call for the eradication of an infestation, ever since its power was discovered.

JT Eaton exists to provide a lasting solution to an infestation of pests. It manufactures and distributes pest management products which work to users’ satisfaction. It manufactures mostly with safe ingredients to ensure the safety of the users yet see to it that the problem does not persist.

Established in 1932, JT Eaton has a wealth of experience and expertise which can only come with time and efforts, consistently going back to the drawing board in order to create unique, quality yet practical products suitable for your homes.

Not only does it manufacture products, JT Eaton also gives advice to its numerous customers so that they can keep living in healthy environments because at the top of its list of goals lies customer satisfaction. You can rest easy with products from JT Eaton. It will not lead you wrong.

A major percentage of JT Eaton 203 Bedbug and Crawling Insect powder is made up of diatomaceous earth, a non-toxic and naturally-occurring earth dust which is relatively safe for people and pets but extremely deadly to insects.

The dust, when it comes in contact with an insect, penetrates the exoskeleton and dries it up (the dust is very dry), causing severe dehydration and eventually, death. Normally, all these take only hours to happen because the earth dust works fast but for some users, it takes a few days to begin to see results.

The amazing part of it is that insects and crawlers cannot grow immune to it. Due to the fact that it naturally contains no chemical which they can grow resistant to, and works with just its extremely dry nature, insects tend to have no resistance to it and remain susceptible.

This bed bug powder can be used in different areas where you suspect some form of infestation; such as wood boards, cracks and crevices but you would have to keep from inhaling it and your children from coming close to it if you have any, especially those who are under 3 years.

Specifications:

• Manufacturer: JT Eaton
• Active ingredients: Silicon dioxide from diatomaceous earth, 85%; moisture, 5%
• Target insects: Bedbugs, ants, fleas and so on
• Where can be used: Indoors/outdoors
• Kid-safe: No
• Pet safe: No
• Other features: 1-year warranty; bugs don’t develop immunity to it
