HARRIS Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade, 4lb with Powder Duster Included in The Bag

This is a great product for keeping fungus gnats controlled. If infested, cover the top of soil completely with it about 1/4 inch and try to go at least two weeks before working into the soil. Bottom water to keep from disturbing.

I live in an old apartment that has a roach problem which has caused so much stress and anxiety in my life. I struggled trying to control the problem any way that I could (different baits, the roach birth control, diy roach killer) but everything I did seemed to make the problem worse! My anxiety was so bad that I had to leave all my lights on to deter them from popping out :(. After all my failed methods, I finally bought this product and sprayed it all over my floor. It stopped them from coming out for a few days, which was a relief (even though I knew they were still there it was nice to be able to walk around without being scared). Eventually they started coming out again, probably to find some water, and had to cross through the powder which eventually killed them. I literally thought the roach problem couldn’t be controlled and I would have to live in fear in my apartment but luckily the problem has significantly improved! I have no doubt that this product will completely eliminate whatever bugs are left and I’ll finally be able to be comfortable in my apartment. I’d highly recommend this for bug control.

Packaging is very solid on this. Its a large bag that will last a long time, so the thickness of it is really appreciated, as is the sealable top. The puffer inside is pretty standard. It does its job. I dont LOVE using it, so if I dont need to I use a paintbrush to lightly dust some on. The puffer tends to distribute as much in the air as it does the surface, but thats pretty much guaranteed with any puffer. Thats how they work. The dust then settles into a nice thin layer. I havent found anything better *that continues to work well* in the constant battle to keep roaches out of my home. I have been told it works equally well on poison-resistant bedbugs and fleas., so thats good information to have in a back pocket too, just in case. All in all, I love the product and I always keep it on hand. Would definitely buy again, and will give 5 stars if they come up with a better puffer solution.

I originally purchased this to kill these little bugs we found in our house that look like brown ladybugs. After doing research we found out they are called carpet beetles and might have come after we just had new carpeting installed. Sometimes carpet beetles and bed bugs can be infested in these warehouses where the carpet is stored. Anyways, we were going on vacation and so we put it on our carpet and left for 3 days and when we came back and vacuumed it up we havent seen any since. BE SURE TO USE AN N95 MASK. I was looking at some of the reviews and noticing the health benefits. I started doing more research and found the following information. For those of you wondering, it is pronounced Die - Tah - Matous - Earth. Mix with water or your favorite drink (juice, milk, smoothie, etc). Heres the dosage that Ive been following. Week 1 — 1 TBSP (AM or PM) Weeks 2 & 3 — 2 TBSP (AM + PM) Weeks 4 & 5 — 1 TBSP (AM or PM) - always take 1hr before meals or 2hr after meals - weeks 6 and beyond, continue with 1 TBSP a day for 4 days straight, then take 3 days off Drink Option #1 I use 12 ounces of almond milk with no sweetener. Add 5 drops of stevia, Keto elevate mix, and 1 TBSP of food grade diatomaceous earth. Blend using handheld frother. Option #2 I use 12 ounces of alkaline water. Add 3/4 scoop of vanilla protein, Keto elevate mix, and 1 TBSP of food grade diatomaceous earth. Blend using handheld frother. This product is so naturally rich in silica and 28 other trace minerals. It helps to lower your cholesterol, lower your blood pressure, strengthens your hair and nails, kills worms and parasites, helps clear up your skin, decreases inflammation, and helps with joint pain. Initially, you may feel some side effects, such as headaches and flu-like symptoms. These are caused by the toxins leaving your body and the killing of parasites (this is not a cause for alarm). If these symptoms persist, however, lower your diatomaceous earth intake. This will slow the release of toxins and reduce the side effects.

To be honest I am not all together sure what its actual use is, I just know I read it could get rid of fleas. It does do that temporarily. Should you be using it for that DO NOT use the spryer that comes with it. I did and it got everywhere, I literally had to clean it off of everything in my room. The better albeit harder way to do it is to find something to put it in and sprinkle it. When my sister used it she used a mason jar and poked holes on the lid. If you have a tiny flea problem this will solve it for a month or so, if you have a big flea problem you’re looking at it lasting a week at best. Again, I don’t know what it’s actually used for, so this review is based on what I used it for.

Pros: DUSTER (this thing is the best and is worth getting this brand over others that dont provide one), got rid of all my bugs Cons: None I got this as I was having a roach problem (first-floor apartment in Florida) despite keeping an other wise very clean house. If I turned on the lights at 2 AM, I could sometimes see one or two on my countertops. Otherwise, I would just see their droppings and know they had been there. It was gross. And it was primarily in my kitchen (especially at the sink and dishwasher). I also had a fair amount of small weevils. They never got into any food, but at my peak, I was finding 5-10 per day on the walls or baseboards of my apartment wandering around. I have a dog and the problem was in my kitchen and on my countertops. I chose this product because its safe for everyone involved (except those pesky bugs!) and would be okay if some residue got into either my dogs food or my food. Plus I wanted to avoid chemicals in case my dog decided to go sniffing or lick the floor. I decided that I would strike a hard and fast first blow in this war on bugs. I generously lined my doors and window sill in case that was how they were getting in. I also had an outdoor closet that I know they were running through so that got a very heavy dose along the entire floor. Some advice says not to do more than a dusting because the bugs will just stay away instead of getting killed. Living in an apartment, Im not going to try to kill all the bugs that other residents might be bringing in. I just want them to stay away from me, so I was fine with a heavy coat. I also took the duster and hit everywhere that I had seen a roach. It was great for blasting all the back behind the dishwasher/oven/refrigerator as I couldnt pull those items out to get behind them. The duster can shoot several feet if needed. I also gave a nice dusting under the sink and in certain corners of the cabinetry that were walled off but could easily be accessed by bugs (I was pretty sure thats where they were coming from anyway). The duster is key. It allows you to get to places where the bugs can get but you cant. The first couple days, I found a few dead weevils (I saw many more of these so this was to be expected). It has been two weeks and no roach sightings or droppings. I could barely go a week without seeing at least one little dropping on my countertops. Its a miracle.

I had an infestation of YELLOW JACKETS that had almost completely defoliated several of my shrubs in the front of my Georgia home this spring. The included sprayer was easy to assemble and worked like a charm. I was concerned about an earlier review which was not happy with the sprayer. The sprayer has evidently been redesigned and it does the job. Covering the NESTS with the powder eliminated the pests. You must have patience....It took at least a week but the bugs are now gone I am happy and the shrubs have recovered and look great.

I purchased these for use against Argentine ants. The included duster doesnt really dust so much as shoot a stream, so maybe purchase a separate duster if you just want a fine layer. If youre fine with just blasting diatomaceous earth everywhere, then youll be fine with the included duster. This stuff works well against ants. For Argentine ants in particular, use it dust around entry points. Itll cut up and dry out their exoskeletons to kill them, but ultimately it only acts as a deterrent. Ants will stop coming from where you dust and generally stay away from the dusted areas, but they will just find another entry point. This is a band-aid and not a solution. Diatomaceous earth should be used to corral the ants to places you dont mind them being, where you can deploy further baits and potentially pesticides to actually solve the problem. While useful, it should be used as a part of a more complete home infestation treatment. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth where you dont want ants, but keep it away from baits and pesticide treated places so the ants will properly find the means to eliminate themselves.

Put some in a shaker bottle and shake it out onto the dogs fur. Brush it into the fur. I shuggest doing it outside and keep it off the dogs face and eyes. Kills fleas by breaking the fleas shell and that dehydrates them. No dangerous chemicals on your pets skin. Look online for more details.
