J.T. Eaton Kills Bedbugs and Crawling Insect Powder

J.T. Eaton Kills Bedbugs and Crawling Insect Powder, manufactured by JT Eaton, is an insecticide dust designed to kill bed bug infestations within a home or building.

This powder formulation contains diatomaceous earth, which behaves like tiny razor blades, slicing open the outer layer of the bed bug or pest’s protective shell, causing it to dry out and die.

J.T. Eaton Kills Bedbugs and Crawling Insect Powder is particularly special because of its long-lasting residual kill. As long as the product is not tampered with, it will continue killing long after the initial application.

Tools Needed

This product can be applied without tools, as it has a built-in applicator tip that allows you to squeeze out the powder.

However, you may also use a pesticide duster, which allows for more precise application and is better equipped to get into hard-to-reach areas.

How to Use

• Step 1: Start by vacuuming your home's furniture, carpets, bedding, etc. Make sure there is no dampness in the labeled application site for the effectiveness of the J.T. Eaton Kills BedBug and Crawling Insect Powder application. For spot treatments, apply a light application of J.T. Eaton Kills Bedbugs and Crawling Insect Powder per 2 sq. ft. Shake this product container or applicator tool vigorously to fluff the product material.
• Step 2: To apply, open the cap and squeeze or puff the product through the applicator tip. You may also pour the J.T. Eaton Kills Bedbug and Crawling Insect Powder in a hand-held duster and dust in areas where insects frequent. 
• Step 3: Reapply as needed or monthly, depending on the magnitude of the infestation.
