Customer Reviews for Harris 32 oz. Diatomaceous Earth Bed Bug Killer

This stuff dries out the bug and kills them of dehydration. the powder is very thick and will clog your vaccum.

It takes about 12 to 16 days for you really see the difference with decrease of bedbugs but it works. I highly recommend mattress and box spring covers too if your not throwing them out. You need to retreat sofa, love seat and chairs once a week because every time you sit on them your remove some of the powder. Buy a ketchup or mustard dispenser from Walmart to disperse the powder evenly in a cloud to cover more area.

It was what i needed it took 3 times to clear out but i would let others know of this product.

I used it as directed I put this stuff everywhere you can think of. I put all my mattresses in plastic and I put powder in with it also. At first I didn't think it was working, but it took like 2 weeks. You could see they were dying. They were moving really slow and every night we checked there was less and less their bodies where flattened which means they were dehydrated and that how i knew the powder was working. Be patient wash everything vacuum everyday line your feet if your beds with the powder, the bed rails if they're wood all Crack crevices and make sure you wash curtains put powder underneath your drawers make a barrier all around your room. I found them in my kid's toy boxes, and in their books bagain every thing up and leave it in there fora few months anything washable you can dry it on high heat for 30-45 it dosent have to be washed it's the heat that kills them . Good luck

Should have bought this first and not spent $1000 on an exterminator who promised to get rid of bed bugs. This product plus the steamer I bought seemed to do the trick. We have found 2-4 left and some dead ones (2-4 too many in my eyes) but this product seemed to rid them faster and more efficient than the so called "professional". The exterminator disrupted my house for 5 weeks with so called treatment but week after week bed bugs were present and he said the "process" works so trust him. Well, I can tell you the process does NOT work but this product DID do the job. Steam your baseboard and put this stuff down, should rid these horrible bugs quickly.

Great product! We had an ant invasion, they were gone instantly.

This product works great..i put it all over my house and i haven't seen a bed bug for almost 6months

I never thought in a million years I would have bed bugs and let me tell you what a nightmare! I started off noticing I had been getting bit which I initially thought was mosquitoes because they whelped and itched like mosquitoes. Until my daughter seen this brown bug on my bed while laying in my room. I freaked out of course and took everything off my bed and washed it in hot water and dried it on high heat. I went and got hot shot spray and treated my bed and box spring and after a week I attempted to sleep in my bed and after being sleep for about an hour I woke up from itching, I was getting bit! These suckers were still there the hot shot didn't work (and no spray will work unless spraying them directly) and they were only in my room on my bed (thank god I caught them early). I was so stressed for a while didn't know what to do and couldn't afford an exterminator so after researching for a while on line of how to get rid of them this is what I did... I was frustrated so I threw my sheets, blanket and pillows in the trash and replaced them, I bought the Harris bed bug kit from Home Depot and sprayed my bed and box spring let it dry and then put and encasement on both of them. I also sprayed my headboard and footboard along with my bed rails. I put my new sheets and blanket on and slept in my bed and to my surprise I woke up with a bite on my arm but that was it so at that point I knew at least one was either hiding in the creases of my head board or in my carpet. So I vacummed my floor really good and then I used the diatomaecous earth I dusted the my entire bed frame with it, I sprinkled it all on floor under bed, around my bed, under my dressers and along the walls on the floor. I was generous with it and thank god it's been a few weeks now and I haven't seen them again or been bit! This product saved me. I know this is a very long review but if I can help someone out than I will because I know the nightmare and stress this can cause someone. It takes a mental toll on you as well because I would always scratch like I feel them on me when it was nothing there or any little piece of lint or dirt or crumb I thought it was one. I'm just getting back to normal. I recommend this product for bed bugs use it, and vacuum your rooms everyday! (avoiding the powder you want to leave it down for a while).

I tried it all. Professional services, bombs, the works.... This stuff did the trick.

This stuff works.put it everywhere and also buy spray and spray daily. Vacuum daily also. It takes about a month so be patient.

Would highly recommend this product for any crawling insect problem. Yes it is a powder and is messy, and Yes you must wear breathing and eye protection when using it because it is such a fine texture. However, it is totally effective, leave it in place for as long as you can to ensure complete eradication. So glad I found this product.

The Product is very good....work after 48 hours.

The product worked well. Administering the powder to the various nooks in the room was quite a challenge. However, I devised a means which worked great. Thanks.

The DE seems to help deter or either kill the bed bugs that the spray does not get reach. I placed a bed bug on three different occasions in a small container of DE and they died within a few seconds. So I believe it is effective to eventually kill or weaken them, which I've heard takes a week or two. If they will actually crawl over the DE in the carpet is another story and something I have not observed. I try to apply very lightly in some areas and if I want a barrier I apply a little heavier. Wear the right mask because it could irritate your lungs. I was stubborn the first time and didn't wear one and felt sick afterwards. I am not an expert and I've read different opinions and "rules" about fighting bed bugs online. This is only my observation.

I never in my life had bedbugs and didn't know what they were at first but my 18month son kept getting bitten and at first I thought it was mosquitos but I woke up at 4am one morning to use the restroom and I felt a sting and when I turned on the light I freaked out and saw the bed bug. I captured it put it in a plastic bag to show my husband when he woke up mind you I live in a apartment building so I went to the office they called the exterminator people he came sprayed the apartment and then came back 2 weeks later to spray again for a week it disappeared but then came back and was wondering what in the world and where in the world where they coming from and come to find out the Nabors directly above me had them bad and failed to report it. I literally ran to the office saying the Nabors upstairs have these ugly nasty creatures so they sent the exterminator guy out again same thing they sprayed and then came back 2weeks to spray again I was ready to move out this is how frustrated and so over whelmed until someone told me about this product so I bout a bag of this and did exactly what it states and I mean I went buck wild spreading this all over the house under the cracks of the walls in the electric outlets I mean everywhere and i haven't seen one bug again I recommend this product to everyone i absolutely love this and bout an extra bag and put it outside my Nabors apartment to help her get rid of it these creature are evil and need to be destroyed.

Our son brought bed bugs into our home from his apartment. I rubbed this product into our furniture, carpets everywhere I could. I also use their bed bug spray on woodwork, baseboards and furniture. We put everything we wore, pillows, sheets etc in clear plastic bags to see if bedbugs where in them than we washed them in hot water and dried these items in the hot summer sun. We put bedbug covers on our mattresses and pillows. We did this three months ago and this product killed them

We found bedbugs in our house a month ago. I and my wife got bite and one daughter got bite too. It was really surprise to me because we lives here for almost ten years and never had such experience. I have no idea where and how such bugs got into our home. From internet I found somebody suggested Earth Bedbug Killer. I ordered one and spread around our room bed in each room. Then we went to travel in Canada for two weeks. We did not get any bite since we came back two weeks ago. It works!

I used as directed and even followed some suggestions for use from these reviews....Sorry absolutely no effect whatever...and was messy to clean up. Very disappointed as a family member uses often

It is Diatomaceous earth and it does what DE is expected to do, but 32 oz for 10+ dollars is ridiculous. You can buy food grade DE 20lb for 10-15 dollars and it will do the same thing. Just don't buy pool DE if you want to use it as an insecticide.

I bought it and I find one bed bug and i put the powder on it and it is still alive . and it is too much work and hard to spray powder around.

I never write reviews but after suffering from a major bed bug infestation with nowhere else to turn I decided to share in hopes of helping someone else. After using sprays that scorched my lungs I decided to give this product a try before burning the house down. Since this is a fine particulate you must use a respirator/ mask to prevent inhaling all the dust that lingers in the air for about 15 minutes.I use the 3M Tekk Protection Respirator (which is also sold by Home Depot.) And I use a pest pistol as the applicator. This product works great for someone who can’t afford a legal battle with a landlord or to hire an exterminator! The thing about this product, though, is that it only works where it is applied. You have to be diligent, i.e. light switches, behind picture frames, outlets, baseboards, carpets, door frames and hinges, basically every inch of the infested area including on and under furniture as these bugs can climb and hide ANYWHERE. Too much dust and the bed bugs will avoid it, the key is a light dusting that they will travel through, plus it’s not a good idea to stir up a large amount of the dust to inhale. But it is safer than so many products out there! Bottom line: Best product I’ve used and we had a major infestation. Saves your stuff where sprays can’t be applied i.e. books and papers. Not sure about electronics though. Also helps to prevent potential infestations from travel and company that visits. Best of luck! I know that bed bugs are proof that the devil does in fact exist!

so far I have really liked this product. it will take some time to see if it really works

Tore my vacuum. Its cut so fine clogged up the motor.

After trying sprays, and other products that was said to work., we had a pro come to our building but after 3 days, the bugs were back. I was going crazy and these bed bugs were making my skin swell and leaving black spots. I found this while i was on Google trying to save my family from these little monsters. After a few applications, few weeks apart, we were free. I would recommend this to everyone.

After putting it down I have had no problems. Was delivered to the store and it came in quickly.

Product arrived before time. We put the powder around all four corners of the bed and It was effective against bugs.

A great addition to the Harris spray. Hopefully will keep the truants at bay

This product barely helped my bedbug problem at all.I ended up having to hire professional exterminators to heat treat my entire home at the cost of $2,000.00,so in my opinion this product was useless in my situation.

Two of the bedrooms in my home were infested with bedbugs plus my living room couches . I tried about 10 different sprays and spend about $200 dollars on trying to get rid of the bugs but NOTHING worked or DECREASED the amount of bugs. I couldn't afford an exterminator, so I thought I'd give this product a last try and it WORKED! Buy this product it will save you A LOT of money, time, frustration, and itching (if you are allergic to the bedbug bites). The best part is that it kills all sorts of bugs.

This i's the first review I've ever written for a product, but bed bugs are such pests that I feel obligated to. I had bed bugs in my duplex, but they were only bitting me and only seen in my room. I hired an exterminator who offered to do chemical cleaning bc the infestation didn't look too severe. I had him do both units to be safe. I was bit the night after his cleaning! When I called and told him he said "said the chemicals he used take 2wks to work", so I did my own research and bought this DE. I took all the furniture out of my room and covered every corner of them with the DE in the garage. I then covered my room in the powder. I slept at my friends house for the next week and a half. Upon my return I found one dead bed bug and no others. I bought a new metal bed frame and a case for my mattress and box frame. Vacuumed up the powder in my room, placed localized powder at the feet of my bed frame and double sided tape a bit further up. It's been two days with no bites or sittings. I hope it continues or else this will get expensive and tiresome... I will bring my furniture back in in a few more weeks.
