    Day 1 of use. Only issue is it said duster included and warned of lung/eye irritant but the duster randomly inside the bag wherever the powder pushed it to. It was already sealed in separate plastic... could the packaging designers come up with a better solution like adhere to right below the resealable ziplock? Doing the wet method of 1 tsp in each dogs food for internal issues and the mineral benefit. Also plan to use in fur and clean well. We dont have fleas or ticks thankfully. Hoping to better health for my dogs.

    I got this to apply around my apartment, for precautionary measures. The duster is much bigger than anticipated. I used something else to help apply it where I wanted it. Best thing about it, its natural and effective. HOWEVER.............be very careful when applying this. I would suggest wearing a mask when applying it, not because of smell, but because in general, breathing this in could be very harmful. Also, wash your hands, after any contact with it. Again, for safety reasons, despite it being natural and safe. This large 4 lb. bag will last me quite some time, and for the price, Im pleased that I got it.

    I love gardening and have grown some veggies in my back yard, I found some annoying bugs like pill bugs, ants and fungus gnats etc., I did a lot research and dont feel like to use something chemical which may harm the environment and human body health, so I decided to get this food grade Diatomaceous Earth with the duster and yellow traps and they works well, the powder is extremely fine just like girls loose powder. After few time of this, I did see some dead bugs, just spray a layer on the surface of potted plant to prevent fungus gnats , stir into the soil dirt and spray it to wherever has shadow that bugs loves to hide in, or spray on the plant leaves for any kind of caterpillar. California recently has roaches problem, Ive seen roaches shown like 2 years ago, this year they gets bigger and more, sometimes I take walk in hot summer midnight and I see some roaches on the sidewalks, lawns, they gather together especially around the fallen rotten fruits from trees just outside your house and I saw some in my back yard too, after blowing the dust away I sprayed the powder into the gap between house and concrete, it did a great job killing all the bugs, I saw dead drying roached the next few days and they less shown, DE can be used in both dry and wet, I like to use it dry, Ill consider non-food grade for just insect prevention and food grade one for edible plant, so far I highly recommend this and remember wearing face mask and goggles to protect yourself when using DE.

    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.

For every ten dollars in profit we receive for Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade, we have pledged to donate $1 to the Etowah Valley Humane Society (EVHS), a private non-profit organization that saves thousands of animals every year. Based in Cartersville, GA a short drive from the PF Harris manufacturing plant, EVHS aims to prevent cruelty, relieve suffering, and provide humane treatment for all animals in need. The organization actively works to eliminate root causes of suffering and acts as an educational resource for the community, with the main goal being to find a great home for animals in its custody. Below are a few of the impressive stats showing the impact EVHS has had on local animal lives in recent years:

  • Rescued over 13,000 lives from Bartow County Animal Control since 2010
  • Helped increase the number of live animals pulls from Bartow County Animal Control from 69/month to 207/month - a 300% increase
  • Assisted in decreasing the Bartow County euthanasia rate six years in a row  

Harris’ own Chief Financial Officer, Ed Brush, has been involved with the society for years. Seeing an opportunity to help a local organization doing so much good, PF Harris partnered with EVHS in an effort to combat animal cruelty and find deserving pets a loving home.

About PF Harris

Our Story

Problem solving has a long heritage at PF Harris. In 1924, two years after its founding, the company tackled the Calvin Coolidge White House, which had been overrun for years by roaches and water bugs. Harris’s product was so successful in eliminating the scourge that he was described on the front page of the Washington Times as a "vermin slayer" who has just fought a decisive, winning battle with a horde of cockroaches which infested the lower regions of the Executive Mansion.

Over the course of the next few months Harris took “his final feast” to dozens of government buildings, including the Senate Office Building, the Department of Justice, the Supreme Court and Walter Reed Hospital. Success followed success: Each superintendent of the various buildings was highly satisfied with the results.

The company today stays nimble enough to respond to changing market demands, leading the way in the development of numerous products, including natural insect repellents like Swamp Gator and Swamp Gnat which repel biting insects without using deet. Beyond the products it sells, Harris helps customers find easy and economical solutions to pest problems through helpful labeling, instructive videos and personal advice.

It’s a brand with a reliable past and an innovative future. PF Harris is America’s oldest EPA-registered company. With more than 55 products, the company provides solutions to treat everything from roaches and bed bugs to scorpions and stink bugs.
