Question by queeniez71:
Does damascus earth get rid of Bed Bugs?
We had the heat treatment for bed bugs done a bit ago and it seemed to work but I am getting bit again so I think they might be back and had heard that damascus earth helps get rid of them and I was wondering if anyone else had used it and if it worked.

I have been reading that it works for bed bugs. Then some say it does not kill bed bugs. When bugs crawl across the DE, it cuts them like glass. A spray with cedarcide would be better. It would be best to ask someone in stores what is used and what can be used in your area.
A mattress cover on the mattress, box springs and pillows for over a year will keep bugs out of them. Bed bugs can live a year with out eating.
The eggs did not die. Bed bugs get in thin-as-a dime cracks and crevices and in the walls. They crawl out during the night.
Here is a site that tells about bed bugs.

it is a not a quick fix for any insect, it can help in the long run keeping populations from building up in the areas you are able to apply it.

De is great for many applications. My wife and I swear by DE, we’ve been using it for several years now. It would probably work for bedbugs, but sleeping in powdered chalk wouldn’t be very attractive. I’d find another solution.
