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

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.

I purchased this item for my chickens. I enjoy the little poofer that it came with. It really makes it easy to distribute the product quickly and in targeted areas. I feel like this also uses less of the product, and I would order again once the supply runs out.

The packaging was perfect. Arrived on time and had no problems.

Silicates dust so put a mask on and safety glasses to protect your lungs and eyes. Better to have gloves as it dessicated skin. It is food grade as some people ingest it, but ask your doctor first and if you can take it, always drink a lot of water: it dehydrates badly. Anyway, put just a bit and spread it to obtain a thin layer. I use it only at the entrance of the garage where we have too many coach roaches.

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.

Soooo this stuff isn’t an overnight fix. BUT if you leave it down for *days* in places with bugs, and make sure the bugs are going through it, those bugs will die! :) I douse my house heavy when we go on vacations or trips. it’s not as effective on carpet/rooms with tons of furniture in my opinion, because bugs like fleas can hide a little. But this stuff WILL make any issue, less of an issue. Diatomaceous earth plus other preventative measures will help you and can’t harm anything! That said- don’t breathe it, wear an N95 mask when handling. Get a SHOP VAC with a filter to sweep it up! You’ll ruin regular sweepers. This stuff IS hard to clean up but in my opinion I always want a little on my floors to control any pests lol. After I shop vac, I take a wet clean mop and just get up majority of dust without stirring it up. All in all, thank God for diatomaceous earth! :) giving 4 out of 5 because it’s messyyyyyy and does take a while to work. But it WILL work when used right!

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

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.

Great product..recommend!

Used this product to get rid of a variety of household pests. Chemicals dont work because we have children in the house. Took care of ants and spider and all of the spring time pests inside! Swear by this stuff! Also used in the past to get rid of a bed bug problem. After spending 5k with Orkin one of the call center reps at Orkin told me to give this a try and lo and behold $16 and two weeks later, I had no further bed big issues...it did what Orkin could not do for $5,000! Will always be my go to for pest control!
