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.

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.

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.

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.
