14. Silica Beads

Silica gel contains silicon dioxide and comes in a powder form rather than an actual gel. It is an effective home remedy for bed bugs because it acts as a drying agent, absorbing their body moisture. Studies show that silica gel kills up to 97.5% of adult bed bugs in under 24 hours.
