There's <a href="http://newyorkvsbedbugs.org/2009/05/18/the-most-useful-application-of-the-bed-bug-alarm-pheromone-may-be-to-cause-dispersal/" rel="nofollow">another study</a> where the efficacy of DE was not directly under investigation but where the discussion of DE was kind of disquieting. Based on all of these, I mention the MotherEarth brand to people if I have to talk about DE (the whole how to talk about DE thing is always made so complex by so many caveats) but I am always aware that it is more expensive than other stuff you can buy from garden and pet health suppliers. Sometimes I wonder if those of us who think our use of DE failed had multiple reasons for it, errors in application and in the choice of DE itself.

Is there a brand of DE sold in the U.S. that has been shown to have "insecticidal properties?" It was interesting to read here that no all types of DE do. Thanks. Hello Renee and fellow blog readers.
