Question by andybosik:
Pool grade Diatomaceous Earth to treat Bed Bugs?

My friend has Bed Bugs where he lives.
I have read that diatomaceous earth is an effective treatment for Bed Bugs.
I happen to have some diatomaceous earth for Pools.
I have read that DE for Pools is not recommended to use for BedBugs.
Why is that? Is one kind of DE better to use than another really?

The pool type contains crystalline silica which can be a resperatory hazard.
