    I once had a pretty bad bed bug infestation and tested DE by putting a bedbug in a cup of it… It lived for weeks before I killed it by hand. DE only hinders their movement in my experience, you need stronger stuff to kill them.

      Cedar oil literally melts them. After weeks of trying everything we could get our hands on ($$$ gone), I tried straight up cedar oil in a spray bottle and found immediate delight in watching those motherfuckers writhe in agony as they shriveled and died. The others tried helplessly to flee, but I was undaunted and hunted them down, one by one. None lived to tell the tale, and all were chemically dessicated and vacuumed up.
