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

I really like DE and I use it multiple places. I mix it into my chicken feed to prevent and kills worms in my chickens. I sprinkle it in the garden both at ground level as well as on the leaves and veggies. I also use it on my fruit trees. It really works on the insects we get here at my farm. I love that this one comes with a device to squirt/spray/distribute the powder on these various places. Its a little messy to fill but it helps to powder a chicken tail that has nits (as she runs away from you!)

Doesnt kill the bugs

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...

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.

I was at the end of the rope on what to do about our flea infestation. My cat is an indoor/outdoor cat is constantly coming into contact with neighboring cats - that coupled with the unusual heat weve had this summer - seems to have exacerbated our flea problem. Ive used the awful and toxic flea bombs - on several occasions, have used the expensive flea sprays, used a variety of medication on my cat, and have given my cat several baths - which if you knew my cat - you would know how dangerous that in itself is - because he hates water. After extensive research I came across this product, and what first grabbed my attention was the fact that the food grade is not toxic to humans or pets. I have a child in my home and was fearful of introducing anymore chemicals into the home; I also was fearful of putting more toxic chemicals on my cat. I treated my entire home with this stuff, along with my yard and the exterior of my home (window sills, entry ways). Now.....this stuff is really - really messy. I wasnt sure that I could handle white powder being everywhere but I was desperate to see if this product was effective at killing fleas - as it claimed to be. I sprinkled this product in the interior of my entire home, and didnt touch the product at all and let it sit overnight. (Around 17 hours) When I got up the next morning, I put a pair of white socks on so that I could see whether or not any fleas jumped on me. At first I was horrified as I literally had hundreds of fleas on my socks. I was discouraged as I first thought that this product was ineffective - not realizing the fleas were actually scrambling to stay alive. Prior to using this product - I had never seen that many fleas in my home. Seeing that many fleas made me realize just how effectice the product was as it drew the fleas out of the carpet as they were trying to get away from the product. I vacuumed up the product - vacuuming my entire home - and didnt see anymore fleas. Later that evening I vacuumed again - even the hardwood floors - and have only seen a total of two fleas. I understand that I need to vacuum - vacuum - vacuum. I still havent let my cat back inside as I have to treat him again. At present I mix this product with his cat food to help treat him from the inside - I also rubbed some of this product into his coat. This product has been extremely effective - Im embarrassed to admit that I dont usually write reviews - especially not this long. But because of how impressed I am with this product and how effective it really is, I wanted to share this information in the event it helps someone else.

Great product! Use it in the garden and make my own supplements with a capsule filler and a little bit of citric acid. The 4lb bag at this price gives me plenty for both. The applicator/blower is garbage. Upside down does just a little bit more than nothing. Outlets on the bottom will blow 90% of it out in the first two puffs and leave you with a stopped up mess, and after just a few tries the sides of the bellow are starting to wrinkle and bind. I ended up using an 8oz squeeze bottle and thats worked out perfect for the garden application. It can be very messy working with such a large bag so recommended that you use it outside with good air flow.

Big bag of diatomaceous earth. All good.

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!

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.

My house was infested with fleas and my pets do not go out side at all. I used this all through my house and it took about 48 hours and they were gone. applied it again about 5 days later as some baby fleas were showing up and I left it down for 3 days. That was a few weeks now and there are no fleas.. Awesome stuff.
