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

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.

Big bag of diatomaceous earth. All good.

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.

Love this stuff

Our neighbors have a termite infestation somewhere in their yard and they have unfortunately climbed the outside of my room and burrowed holes in the window sill. Ive been using this on the inside and outside (on top of other treatments) and they havent come back since! The duster squeezer is also really helpful. Wear gloves with this!!

I like to use diatomaceous earth to kill bugs in my house but it can be messy to apply around the baseboards. I bought this brand because they include the applicator bottle. It helps to apply because I pump the container and a burst of earth comes out, sometime more than I want, but then I use a small artists brush to push the earth into place. I have used Victor roach traps for years and really like the product. I dont have roaches, but lots of others small bugs get trapped so I know I have bugs in the house. I use the earth along the baseboards because that is how many bugs move around, they walk next to the baseboards. I have left some Victor roach traps in each room to verify if I still have bugs and I do not see any bugs so I know the earth is doing its job.

A doctor on YouTube spoke about the benefits of diatomaceous earth as far as getting rid of parasites and dealing with yeast/candida overgrowth. I began taking it with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in water every morning. After several days all of a sudden my body began a purge plus the insane itching I had from the candida stopped. I think my body was purging the garbage out of it. I stopped taking the earth for a few days but went back on it as I know there is some residual yeast or fungal growth lingering. But it is tasteless and harmless. Just do NOT inhale it. BE WARNED: If you experience really bad cramping stop taking it. I had this happen to me twice and i had diarrhea for three days the first time. The second time I tried it after being off of it for a few days, the cramps were really bad and I stopped taking it. Just be careful and monitor your bodys reaction. It can help you as it has me.

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

I got this product to sprinkle around my windows to keep ants out. Well, after digging through the bag of super fine powder to get the applicator out, I found dust everywhere...then I read the label, which says to avoid inhaling it and use a respirator and goggles during application. I was bummed because I have pets, and everyone says food grade DE is safe for use around people and pets - but its clearly not, for this type of application. Even closing the bag spouted dust...and the zip on the bag does not close. I poured some outside, but its so fine it just blew away and didnt go into the sidewalk cracks I intended it for. I couldnt even sweep it into place. Disappointed to say the least (for my intended application)! Im giving it 4 stars because if used as anti-caking for animal feed, maybe its awesome!! But not easy for novices to apply...

Ok like... Im really not sure how many stars to give this product. Let me explain why. This stuff gets literally everywhere. You know how cornstarch is? Like you just kind of touch it and it sticks to your fingers in this weird chalky layer? Yeah, its like that... except, this stuff aerosolizes easily, meaning that if you even just blow on it the tiniest bit or theres even the smallest gust of wind or even you just move your darn hand, it goes into the air in tiny particles. And those tiny particles.. are horrendous for your lungs. It can lead to all sorts of lung complications. So, just use it inside, right? Yes. Except.. no vacuuming. It will clog your filter and every vacuum Ive ever owned had an exhaust port, meaning that it would just... blow it all into the air if I tried to use it. And then Id breathe in the silicon, sooo thats not good. But whats the big deal, right? Its just silicon. well it turns out that the way Diatomaceous Earth works is that when little critters with exoskeletons walk over it, it cuts them up microscopically. They eventually die! Yay. Except... it also cuts up our lungs. Therefore, when you use this SAFELY, theres nothing wrong with it. Dont breathe it in (and for the love of God dont snort it). However, because of all the safety issues with aerosolizing it, I wont touch the stuff. Even just open the bag creates powder that floats up into the air! Its ridiculous. but the thing is, thats just how it is - any brand of diatomaceous earth will be the same way. So thats why I still give it 4 stars. It also does seem to work to kill ants. Its just that it... gets.. EVERYWHERE. I wish they didnt put the (rather giant) powder applicator IN the bag. Gosh, its so hard to get it off of anywhere... ALSO when you apply it JUST APPLY A TINY MIST. Dont try to drown them like youre adding flour to a cake. It should be a fine mist that you can barely see. If you can see the powder its too much according to the internet. Its just... so hard to apply! If you have to clean it, I recommend wetting the powder that you applied and then wiping it up. I can still see some powder in my carpet near the baseboards and Im scared to clean it because I dont want to breathe it in. :)
