Know before you buy
This product works mechanically rather than chemically. When crawling insects come into contact with the powder, it absorbs the protective oils from their exoskeleton, causing them to dehydrate and die within 48 hours.
Safer Diatomaceous Earth is made of 100% amorphous silica, making it a natural alternative to synthetic pesticides. However, you should avoid breathing in the dust during application and keep pets and children away from the area until the powder has settled.
Yes, it is formulated for both indoor and outdoor use. It is effective for managing crawling pests in garden beds, around home foundations, and in common indoor areas like baseboards or cracks.
It is specifically designed to control crawling insects, such as bed bugs, fleas, ants, and roaches. It will not be effective against flying insects that do not come into direct contact with the powder.
The powder remains effective as long as it stays dry. If the area becomes wet or the powder is cleaned away, you will need to reapply it to maintain a protective barrier.
