🚫 What NOT to Do
- ❌ Don’t wet the DE — it only works when dry.
- ❌ Don’t inhale large amounts — wear a mask during application.
- ❌ Don’t expect instant results — it’s not a chemical, so give it time.
🛡️ Bonus: Natural Bedbug Prevention Tips
In addition to using DE, here are a few natural prevention methods:
