Natural Pest Control: Using Diatomaceous Earth and Cloves Against Bed Bugs and More

1. 1. Clean and Prep Your Space: Vacuum your sleeping areas and surroundings thoroughly.
   2. Apply DE: Sprinkle a fine layer of food-grade diatomaceous earth across your mattress, bed frame, along edges of carpets, and any cracks or crevices where bed bugs may hide.
   3. Leave the DE: Allow the diatomaceous earth to remain for several days to a week. During this time, avoid wet cleaning the treated areas.

1. Clean Up: Vacuum up the DE and dead bed bugs after treatment. Repeat if necessary until all signs of bed bugs disappear.

Using Cloves to Repel Bed Bugs: Cloves act as a natural repellent due to their strong, aromatic oils which bed bugs and many other insects find distasteful.
