Review: organic suitable for human - As description Review: Works for Bed bugs - We had a bedbug problem and I'm writing this review to help other people who might have the same problem. There is a great, earlier review of successfully using DE to get rid of bedbugs. I agree 100% with the strategy of putting DE down everywhere they could possibly be hiding and waiting them out for at least a few months. Yes, your bedroom will look awful with white powder all along the baseboards but it is, obviously, worth it. DE is inexpensive and non-toxic, which makes it better than any other application option. Note: we also purchased a steamer to try to kill the bedbugs. This was a very expensive option and I really don’t know how well it worked. I once steamed my bed, bed frame, floor, baseboard, everything, put clean sheets on the bed and woke up with new bed bug bites the next morning. So, no, from my perspective the steamer didn’t work. In addition to the great suggestions made by an earlier reviewing using DE, I also want to suggest putting DE across your bedroom's door threshold at the floor. Any bugs that crawl from other rooms will have to walk through DE and that will kill them. We did that early on when we were desperate to stop the problem as quickly as possible. A few months in, and no new signs of bedbugs, we cautiously vacuumed up the DE on the thresholds. In the meantime, I had put DE behind all outlet covers just to catch any that might be coming up through the walls. (Yes horrifying to imagine but apparently that's what they will do to find you sleeping soundly in your bed in the middle of the night). 2nd Tip: We have a "four post" bed. This means that there are only a few places where our bed touches the floor (at the four corners of the frame and a couple of supports under the mattress). After awhile, I realized that if I put DE just at the posts, it would force any meal-seeking bedbug to walk through the DE to get to us. This idea evolved into finding sturdy plastic cups to put the DE in (and NOT bed bug traps because they are either too flimsy or too shallow, and potentially unnecessary if my theory works. Plus, bedbug traps are really expensive. I picked up my plastic cups from the dollar store). I put about an inch of DE in the bottom of the cup and picked up the bedframe and put the bed leg into the cup. Voila! Instant bedbug killing machine! I am the “bait”, the bed legs are the "on ramp", and the DE is the poison on their way to the bait. Having confidence in this approach, and not seeing new signs of bedbugs, I vacuumed up the rest of the DE in the room and only had the cups full of DE at the bed posts. I also got into the habit of washing all the bedding on the hottest, longest wash cycle and the hottest dry cycle for at least 40 minutes on high. This DID work, or so it seemed. The highest heat from the dryer is supposed to kill the bugs and their eggs. Twice I made the bed after washing the linens this way, walked out of the room, walked back in and found a single solitary bedbug on top of the bedding (apparently crawled out from the seams or someplace) wiggling in the clutches of death. That was very satisfying, as I think you can imagine. By the way, the heat in the dryer has to be a certain temperature. I put a thermostat in with my bedding to test the dryer and it got hot enough. This was a regular residential grade dryer. If you want to be sure your dryer gets hot enough, you may want to do a search on the internet for this temperature (I forget what it is) and then test your dryer similarly. Nothing beats the peace of mind knowing the dryer got hot enough to kill those things! Another tip: use all white bedding so you can see the signs of bedbugs. Bedbugs leave tell-tale stains on bedding that look like dots made from a felt-tip marker. We usually found those marks at the corner of the bottom fitted sheets, on the underside that touched the mattress. The marks were almost always near the top of the bed, closest to where our heads are. It is very hard to get these stains out of sheets, unfortunately. That caused me to take photos of the stains so I could compare them with future inspections. By looking at the photos from a week earlier, or a few weeks earlier, I could see whether there were any new stains. As you can see, this was an IMPORTANT part of monitoring whether we had gotten rid of the bedbugs. After applying DE, you may want to leave the room for the rest of the day for the dust to settle so you’re not breathing it in. I found the dust mildly irritating but nothing more than that. And, we absolutely needed to cover the mattress, the box spring and the pillows with bedbug proof covers. We bought the SafeRest brand it has worked really well. After all that, you just have to wait them out (prepare for a few months, at least because of their life cycle and the need to be absolutely sure the problem is gone). Those horrifying bugs will die a slow and awful death due to walking through DE. You will have only spent a few dollars –although it takes a lot of work and time – but hopefully this approach will work for you too.

This stuff will get the job done, but you can't approach it like you would a normal infestation. Scorch the earth. 1. Vacuum every corner of the room. Disassemble the bed and vacuum every section of it on every side. Remove the vacuum bag and set it on fire. 2. Liberally pour DE around the baseboards, around the bed, and everything you might have slept on since kindergarten. 3. Spray all surfaces that might have hosted a bedbug with 70% alcohol. Isopropyl, Ethyl, or Methyl; doesn't matter. 4. Repeat for 4-6 weeks. It seems harsh, but it gets the job done. All you have to do then is figure out where you got them from in the first place... Seriously important, or the whole thing will start all over again. **Q: What exact percentage of Celatoms DE is crystalline silica? I want an exact number please.** A: It makes perfect sense for crystalilne silica to be hazardous to your lungs. I want people to realize it is kinda of like the "talc powder" or the worse "asbestos" you can hardly see the fine particles and if you see a haze it's definitely going to get into your lungs. Coughing means it's in your lungs. My Dad died from working on a machine that had asbestos but he didn't know it at a General Motors. He was a machine builder and when other machines would break down, he would fix them. It took between 40-50 years for it to cause a problem in his lungs. So don't take this advice to avoid lightly. My family was devastated because he was diagnosed and died within 1 1/2 months. They refused to put him in a drug study at IU because they said he wasn't "cream of the crop" meaning they needed people that didn't have it as bad so their study did well and the medication was approved. A few months and then in the coming year later that exact drug was on the market saving lives. Many more have followed. To be told no you can't try a study drug was beyond my comprehension. I'm a nurse and I was disgusted with the medical management of older people after that. Beware when you get older. Some treat our elder folks like their life isn't worth saving and will flat out say so if it means prestigious one if a kind new drugs or more money in their pocket! Praying for us all! 🙏🇺🇸 **Q: how do i treat the dogs for fleas with this stuff?** A: DE is very dangerous to breathe for humans and animals. The fine powder has microscopic razor edges. Itlodges in lungs and causes damage. I take it as a health supplement, and I tried to figure out how to Use it on my dogs coats, but the fine powder hangs in the air. It’s impossible not to end up breathing it. My supply of DE says on the package to be careful not to inhale. **Q: Has anyone used this for pinworms?** A: Fyi. One of the replies here claims that this was used to get rid of pinworms in her dogs. Fact: Dogs cannot get pinworms. Maybe it got rid of some other worm in her dogs, but it wasn't pinworms. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ organic suitable for human *by A***R on 17 February 2026* As description ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works for Bed bugs *by K***H on 4 July 2016* We had a bedbug problem and I'm writing this review to help other people who might have the same problem.
