    "active ingredients"
    its mostly silica. Diatamacious earth is made from the remains of tiny aquatic organism called diatoms. Diatamacious earth is basically a super tiny pile of pointy rocks. it works by getting stuck in exoskeleton joints and scratching up there carapaces, causing them to dehydrate because it obsorbs all the water from there body via the lacerations.
    you are basically "death by 1000 cuts" to any insect with an exoskeleton. (its also why its non-toxic...because its effectivly just really fine "dirt"

    DE alone and using it inexperienced doesn't work...but with the correct approach it does help. I was a maintenance worker in a 752 unit apartment complex and i worked with our local bug men. They used Diatomaceous Earth and Silica. It will not work as soon as you put it down but around 2-4 weeks of applying, the bites will decrease and you will see dead ones appearing. Most of these exterminator companies will tell you it doesn't work at all because if everyone finds out, they lose money...so they tell you it doesn't work to protect their pockets. Which is also dangerous to trying to curb the bedbug issues we have due to some not being able to afford $300-$800 dollars for exterminator fees, so most will just sit and live in agony while the hells roaches grow and grow...but when you can atleast create a small DIY for $12-$20 bucks, have at it. But how they should say it is this ALONE and carelessness will not work. Don't put piles and piles of it everywhere as for they can see it and detect it and will easily maneuver around it of crawl up walls and just drop on you. Use a duster or a simple salt shaker to apply a small dusting on base boards and bedframes. Also lightly dust the lining of your mattress. Vacuuming should be your best option daily when trying to help the issue also. Once done vacuuming, empty the vacuum ASAP and dispose of the trash them detach the hoses and clean them and vacuum a small pile of Diatomaceous in to the vacuum. We did this and saw great results.

    Yeah this guy is trying to sell his product and doesn't even want to help people. Diatomacious earth is a fantastic product perfectly safe and yes you can vacuum it up so sorry for all the trouble of having to clean the filter in your vacuum but it's far better than the chemicals that he would put down to control the pests. I'm one of those guys out there who's put it down and it's very easy to clean up with your vacuum and any cleaner vacuum.It is actually less of a pain than is the skin ash that we all have in our homes that we vacuum up all the time.

Secondly, he doesn't talk about the effectiveness or lack thereof of the product, but all he can say is that it's difficult to use. Thirdly, using Diatomaceous earth is a thorn in his business, so of course, he will disregard it.
