Diatomaceous earth (DE) is an off-white, powdery substance made from the ground-up fossilized remains of single-celled marine algae called diatomsThese particles are extremely small, giving DE the appearance of a very fine powder similar to that of corn flour.

Under a microscope, however, DE is really composed of tiny, hollow cylinders with jagged, sharp edges in the places where they’re broken apart. This gives DE an abrasive and rough texture.

These sharp, microscopic edges make diatomaceous earth highly abrasive when it comes into contact with bed bugs and other insects, scraping and chafing away the waxy outer coating of their shells.

Diatomaceous earth kills bed bugs by acting as a desiccant.

The waxy coating that it abrades normally helps bed bugs keep moisture and nutrients inside their bodies. When the coating is perforated or damaged by DE powder, moisture escapes and causes the bed bugs to eventually dehydrate and die.
