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

I was a little hesitant when I bought this. I keep my place clean, but I have a cat and a neighborhood full of ants. Every summer they come into my house and always find the catfood I have left out for my cat. I have tried everything and nothing has worked long term. However, I laid some of this inside the house and the ants disappeared. I bought food gade and my cat is perfectly good with it. Then I put it around outside and the ants disappeared from my yard (a deck in the back and a small sliver of plants in the front of my house). I have to replace it when it rains hard, but the fact that I dont have to worry about ants in my house makes it 100% worth it. I have already recommended it to anyone and everyone that listens to me. I am now recommending it to you if you have ants. I do not know if it works on all ants, but it did on mine.

Got this is a detox, its working great. No scent which is wonderful. As described.

My friend, who recently had surgery for lung cancer, has cockroaches in his apartment. Due to recent cancer scare, did not want a traditional treatment that was potentially hazardous to his health. I purchased this for him & hes definitely seeing fewer of the unwanted bugs.

Works well on a number of pests and highly recommend the duster to optimize application.

Much better deal than buying the puffer separately

Its a very fine powder and itll make your place extra dusty, no matter how careful you are at applying it. But the dust is worth it, because in my situation this worked like a charm. Itll stun them in a sense, theyll begin to become afraid to move, itll chase them to safety, theyll seek out the safest spot to be while still being near a blood source, narrowing down their options and limiting the infestation to a small area. Spread it across thresholds, entry doors and closet doors. Put it on the carpet and let it sit for a day or two before vacuuming. Rinse and Repeat. Sprinkle it around furniture legs (leaving it there for months) and underneath cushions/mattresses. Spray puff it onto the sides of soft furnishings and into the various crevices on furniture pieces. I dont have pets, but if you do, be sure to address their bedding and sleeping areas as well.

Great product..recommend!

Diatomaceous earth really helps to reduce the number of bugs in my space, and the duster included with this bag is really helpful for spreading it around indoors without creating a ton of visually obvious powder areas. You can puff it onto white walls and ceilings, and it’s basically not noticeable. I’d been putting diatomaceous earth on carpets and other places around baseboards and under furniture, too, which could look a little poor in some areas, but the duster included here helps me to diffuse more discreetly, and I even put a very thin layer over most of the open carpet area in my room that’s not really visible. Diatomaceous earth isn’t a 100% fail-proof solution all by itself, particularly for sugar ants (I recommend Terro and always keeping all foods well-sealed) and gnats/fruit flies (red wine vinegar and soap, fly paper, keeping the area clean), but it does seem to be one of the very best tools in my arsenal against insects. In combination, diatomaceous earth, sealing door and window gaps, Terro traps, a fly paper trap, and a vinegar, sugar, water, and soap trap when necessary seem to take care of 90-95% of bugs in my otherwise fairly vulnerable faux-studio bedroom space, and I reckon that diatomaceous earth does about 50% of the work. It seems to be particularly effective against spiders, thank god. Fortunately, I haven’t had much of an issue with houseflies, but I would guess that it would be somewhat effective for them, too, if you’re willing to diffuse it onto walls and window sills. Unless, I accidentally drop a large amount on the carpet or something, I don’t really vacuum this up or anything; I just apply every 6-12 months over as many surfaces as I feel I reasonably can, and I’m willing to accept a slight white cast or occasional white spots on surfaces and the risk of some minor skin irritation (not that I’ve really noticed any, apart from applying the product by hand) over having a lot of bugs in my space. I didn’t really use a mask or anything the first couple times I applied this stuff everywhere, which is probably really stupid of me as it’s not great for your lungs, so please take caution in that regard. My hope is that once it’s out of the air/settled, it’s not much of a lung health risk even if applied over a huge number of surfaces in a space, but it is a potential risk to be aware of.

I put a layer of this DE in all my indoor houseplants and within two days I was rid of all the tiny bugs that were flying around my house.

i had ants in my bathroom and could not get rid of them with bait or spray! but i spread this out everywhere and its been a few weeks and no more ants. really works and i still have so much more powder in the bag. really recommend if you have an ant problem!
