We used this to get rid of the bedbugs in our house. crystal silica gel cat litter crushed and powdered. Click on “more info” on the right for more details. Amorphous silica gel is not toxic. Silica gel in the packets sometimes has added poison and that is why it says “don’t eat.” If silica gel were poisonous would they use it for cats? No. Grind up the beads in a desiccant packet and test it in a container with a few bedbugs. They will be dry and dead within hours. these can kill bedbugs cheaply, except for the cement you have to grind the items in the video to a fine, fine powder. The diatom filter powder will work as is but it would be better if it is ground to a finer powder. these are common or cheap items, silica gel is the main ingredient in Drione, other bed bug powders contain silica gel powder or diatomaceous earth. Even sand ground to a fine fine powder may work. These powders stick to the exoskeleton of the bedbug, absorb its lipids and then allows it to dehydrate in hours. (The cement may take a couple of days to work.) Test these items by putting the powder you make into a container with the bedbugs and in a couple of hours they will be dehydrated and dead.(The cement will take a couple of days.) Mix the powders with a little insecticide(except the cement) if you want. I have to admit that I miss the bedbugs. I had fun experimenting with the powders. Now the bedbugs are all dead and the experimental fun is over. Think about this. Drione dust is silica gel …
