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

I use this for the vegetable garden and to discourage household pests. A little goes a long way and it is a readonably safe and effective natural bug deterrent. I put it under the built-in heaters, around where pipes go through the wall, on outer sills of windows that are close to ground level, under the fridge, under the stove, etc. to discourage insects and it is very helpful. I do not use the duster indoors as diatomaceous earth dust is dangerous to breathe or to get in your eyes. Always wear a safety mask and safety goggles when using it, make sure no kids or pets or anyone else is around, clean up after yourself to remove extraneous dust, and only apply it where kids and pets will not get at it. This is food grade and completely safe to ingest for people and animals - many people eat it as a health supplement and it is commonly fed to livestock - but breathing it in or getting it in your eyes is a no no as the particles in the dust are sharp. I have seen it applied carelessly with no ill effects to anyone, but better safe than sorry. This particular brand has a good reputation and 4 lbs. is perfect for my needs.

My pic isn’t he best however, the product works to deter some pest out of your garden but def not all (I.e ants) as they will just crawl under and around it. Please be advised it is a powder so once it rains or the soil area is wet you will have to reapply the DE to that are (hence why it’s hard to see in my pic as the soil is wet). It can create a hardness in the soil as well if allowed to dry on top of soil after being wet)… overall will keep using it for my garden

We had a major ant problem in and around our house and I sprayed this powder around the edges on the outside of the house and behind cabinets and along baseboards etc inside in order to help repel and kill the ants. We had such a large ghost ant population around here, that I had to use various efforts to discourage them from coming in the house. I used this and boric acid at the same time because I just wanted to make sure that something would work. I also sprayed all around the house and put ant stakes inside and outside. But I know this works, because there have been times that I used it with nothing else. The problem with all these anti-ant substances or methods is that what often happens is THE ANTS DIE IN TRANSIT. So I began to find dead ants here and there and everywhere. They often die before they get back to their nest, and in fact they die sometimes on their way into the house after crossing over the path of the boric acid or diatomaceous earth or poison. So Ive been finding dead ants here and there around my house for over a month now, and I keep hoping they will leave me alone, but they seem intent on wanting to live in and around my house even though I dont leave out food or anything. By the way I was told these are called ghost ants. They seem to be everywhere in the area of Central Florida I was living in. One warning is to be very careful not to breathe diatomaceous earth. It can actually cause damage to your lungs if you breathe too much of it. I see many people using it carelessly. Be careful! For example when you open the bag, the powder begins to sift into the air immediately which reaches your lungs, so I advise wearing a good mask such as an n95 when messing with this stuff. It is almost impossible to use it in any way without it getting into your air space. So you have to be careful. People seem to think because you can actually mix this with water and drink it if it is the right type, that it is not dangerous. No it is not dangerous to drink it in water, but it is dangerous to breathe it in its normal dry form. I also use this as a gnat killer by spraying it on top of the soil of my potted plants. This seems to be working well. Diatomaceous earth has many uses, so I recommend you read about it, but use it responsibly. I gave it only four stars, because the sprayer that they give you with it doesnt really work very well. At times it doesnt spray out at all and other times it sprays too much. It is very difficult to control the sprayer. Ive seen other sprayers of this type that work better.

I use this all around my house to keep ants,spiders,fleas,any exoskeleton insect away & its magic in a bag! I use it on my cat as a natural & safe flea & tick repellent. If you want to keep bugs away & not use chemicals this is the product.It kills bed bugs also

This product works good, but very messy

This stuff works! I live in an older house. Its full of spiders. Mostly brown recluse. Ive tried everything to get rid of them aside from calling an exterminator. I wanted something safe to use because I have a cat. So I tried DE. I havent seen any spiders since I put it down. Earwigs seem to be an issue this year. DE dont kill them but they dont like it. Also the ant invasion on my back porch is almost gone. No beetles, no stink bugs, no snails sliming up my front door! Im telling you bugs wont cross it. Dont be too heavy applying it inside the house. A light dusting is enough. Otherwise you will have a mess thats hard to clean up. Outside will have to be reapplied after it rains.
