Bedbug Tape is a product and method to control and deter bedbugs, using two-sided tape that is coated with diatomaceous earth. The Diatomaceous Earth is applied as the tape is being pulled from its package, or Diatomaceous Earth is applied to tape and packaged ready for use, enabling it to be put in the paths of bedbugs traveling to and from hiding spots hiding and laying eggs. The tape can be placed by cracks on floor to wall areas, around bedpost legs, across the bottom and sides of beds and furniture. The Diatomaceous Earth damages the insects exoskeletons, and causes them to dry out and die. Preferably the Diatomaceous Earth is non-toxic and food-grade, and does not otherwise harm humans or pets.
