Bonide Diatomaceous Earth Crawling Insect Killer – Wettable Powder

Natural, Long-Lasting Control for Insects & Mites

Stop pests in their tracks with Bonide Diatomaceous Earth Crawling Insect Killer. This versatile formula works as both a dry dust and a wettable powder for easy application anywhere pests hide.

How It Works
Made from natural diatomaceous earth, this product kills insects and plant-parasitic mites by damaging their exoskeletons—causing them to dehydrate and die within 48 hours. Since it works physically (not chemically), pests cannot build resistance.

Where to Use

• Indoors: Kitchens, pantries, storage areas, greenhouses

• Outdoors: Gardens, lawns, ornamentals, building foundations

How to Apply

1. Dry Dust:
   Apply a thin, even layer to surfaces, cracks, crevices, and soil where pests are present. Stays effective as long as it remains dry.

2. Wettable Powder (Slurry):
   Mix with water and spray onto surfaces or foliage for broad coverage. The slurry must dry before it becomes effective, leaving a protective dust layer.

Reapply if the treated area gets wet or the dust is disturbed.

Controls

Beetles, moths, gnats, mites, aphids, ants, earwigs, and many more (see label for full list).
