About this service
Diatomaceous earth is a natural powder that works by dehydrating pests like roaches upon contact. It is often used as a supplement to other treatments, especially in cracks and crevices where roaches hide. While it can be helpful for small areas, it is typically not an effective standalone solution for a full-blown infestation. Professional technicians use it as part of a larger plan to ensure all hidden areas are covered. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
