DIATHOR BED BUG KILLER contains a unique range of highly abrasive pyrogenic, AMORPHOUS SILICAS –ideal for killing bed bugs.

DIATHOR kills bed bugs via rapid dehydration caused by breaking down the bug's waterproof exterior.

Proven Viral Transfer Effect

DIATHOR was fully evaluated by Dr Alvaro Romero at the New Mexico State University who concluded, “This study shows that bed bugs can transfer DIATHOR to other members of the aggregation. This is an important finding as this is added value of the application of DIATHOR in field conditions. In essence this also suggests that it is not necessary that all individuals of an infestation have direct contact with DIATHOR to be killed.”

Dr Romero concluded, “DIATHOR can be recommended for bed bug management because, 1) it kills insecticide resistant bed bugs that are difficult to eliminate with liquid insecticide spray, 2) it can kill 100% bed bugs within 9 hours due to rapid and enhanced adhesion properties of DIATHOR particles to the bed bug body, and 3) bed bugs do not avoid treated surfaces.”
