EFFECTIVE Pest Control

Does Diatomaceous Earth work for Scorpion Pest Control? Not effectively… A line of DE powder around your home, or fence, does not provide scorpions, and other pests, with enough EXPOSURE to kill them in a timely manner! Testing DE in a tub with scorpions, shows that these pests have to be exposed to Diatomaceous Earth for PROLONGED periods of time, and LARGE amounts of DE, before their exoskeleton gets cut up enough to dehydrate them to death. Killing scorpions, with sufficient amounts DE generally takes 1-2 WEEKS of exposure… Too long for most Phoenix area residents.
