    Another fun fact: You can use it yourself. Just spread it on the floor where you have a bug infestation and it’ll kill them. It’s harmless if you don’t ingest it (in fact, I believe there’s even some that’s food grade).

    If you have bedbugs, you can surround your bed with it, and it’s really effective. It also takes out cockroaches, I believe.
