Harris Bed Bug Killer Powder

Harris Bed Bug Killer Powder, manufactured by PF Harris, is a specifically designed organic dust insecticide that kills crawling pests like bed bugs or slugs and future pests if water does not contact the material.

In contrast to other bed bug products on the market, this puffer bottle material contains a unique mode of action in which the active ingredient Diatomaceous Earth 100% cuts through the insects' exoskeleton, leading to death from dehydration.

If left undisturbed, Harris Bed Bug Killer Powder continues to fight against adult, nymph, and hatchling bed bugs and other crawling insects for up to 30 days without the pest becoming immune to the product.

Tools Needed

This product is ready to use; no additional application tools are needed. If desired, it may be applied with a hand duster, bulbous duster, powder duster, or other suitable equipment.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Harris Bed Bug Killer Powder to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To find this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet and multiply (length X width = square footage). Make sure to note areas where bed bugs and crawling pests, such as cracks and crevices, may be found. Remove or cover all food or feed items in the treatment area before applying the product. Food/feed handling establishments apply crack and crevice or spot treatment with spot treatments no larger than 2 sq. ft. For other outdoor and indoor areas, apply a light and uniform application in the range of 1 to 5 oz. of Harris Bed Bug Killer Powder per 100 sq. ft. Avoid leaving deposits on exposed indoor living area surfaces or introducing the material into the air.
• Step 2: Outdoor applications of Harris Bed Bug Killer Powder have to be applied with a hand or power duster or other suitable equipment. Add the appropriate amount of product material into the duster. Outdoor applications can be made for food/feed handling establishments, but bulbous dusters cannot be used.
• Step 3: Apply Harris Bed Bug Killer Powder to infested areas as a light and uniform layer. Dust insects directly if possible. Repeat treatment on dry surfaces, as needed, to maintain control of problem pests.

Where to Use

Harris Bed Bug Killer Powder may be applied in and around residential and commercial buildings, structures and their immediate surroundings, and in and around food/feed handling establishments.

In food handling areas or areas where food or feed products are prepared or stored, apply a crack and crevice or spot treatment. As a crack and crevice treatment, apply sparingly into cracks and crevices using equipment designed to place powder into specific locations. Limit spot treatments to walls or floors where pests are suspected of hiding.

In other outdoor and indoor locations, apply into areas where pests may hide, such as cracks and crevices, behind and beneath refrigerators, cabinets, stoves, garbage cans and in and around sewer pipes and drains, window frames and in attics and basements, floor and bedding in and around pets sleeping quarters, baseboards, carpeting, carpet edges, under carpeting, furniture, in closet and shelving where pests are seen or suspected, patios, outdoor sills, window and door frames, along ant trails, and around outdoor foundation.

Use when your home, restaurant, or other approved site is experiencing pest infestations such as bed bugs or as a preventative measure.
