    Put some in a shaker bottle and shake it out onto the dogs fur. Brush it into the fur. I shuggest doing it outside and keep it off the dogs face and eyes. Kills fleas by breaking the fleas shell and that dehydrates them. No dangerous chemicals on your pets skin. Look online for more details.

    I thought it was great, the ziplock on the bag is not great, but the product itself is fantastic, just used it for my first 10 day cleanse, cant wait for my next round, I feel great!

    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

    Been battling a pantry moth infestation that got into my garden room through some bird seed I had stored. Its unreal how resourceful these little jerks are - they get all established before you even realize theres an issue. One day you ask, Why are there so many of these things and the answer soon becomes apparent that theyve moved in without asking. They got behind my window casements for heavens sake. I cant reach there to vaccuum them out. They also did get into one half of my food pantry and I had to toss some food they got into and vacuum that out as well, hard to do because they get into the shelf peg holes, even. Since they were living in areas I could not reach with my water vac attachments, I deployed this desiccant to their habitat instead. Hee hee. So this stuffs messy and I used the dispenser wrong at first but basically I just ineptly dusted this stuff in every area I saw them and let it sit. It has taken about five weeks or so but their population numbers finally just bottomed out and Im no longer seeing them in anywhere near the numbers I used to. We also spent weeks manually killing the flying ones we saw with an electrified racket (more satisfying than youd think) and I also deployed pantry moth traps that also seem to work well and are doing a good job helping me gauge the problem. You can win against them but it takes a sustained effort. You dont have to be perfect, this stuff WORKS. A spate of nice weather apparently spurred a bunch of them to hatch out earlier this month, we took care of that phalanx and since then have seen only a few sporadically which we also dispatched. Im super happy with this stuff, it clearly affects the moths, if they touch it they seem to have trouble flying as well. It doesnt work immediately and you have to address the issue with a multipronged approach. This is the big center prong. This is the stuff you want if youre battling pantry pests. Give yourself a leg up and use this, its natural, safe, and has no effect my pets. Wear goggles and a mask when youre applying it so you dont breathe any in. Once the air is clear and the stuff is on surfaces, youre good. It kills insects by drying them out. Kinda genius if you ask me! I dont think I will have to call an exterminator after all.

    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.

    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

    Diatomaceous earth really helps to reduce the number of bugs in my space, and the duster included with this bag is really helpful for spreading it around indoors without creating a ton of visually obvious powder areas. You can puff it onto white walls and ceilings, and it’s basically not noticeable. I’d been putting diatomaceous earth on carpets and other places around baseboards and under furniture, too, which could look a little poor in some areas, but the duster included here helps me to diffuse more discreetly, and I even put a very thin layer over most of the open carpet area in my room that’s not really visible. Diatomaceous earth isn’t a 100% fail-proof solution all by itself, particularly for sugar ants (I recommend Terro and always keeping all foods well-sealed) and gnats/fruit flies (red wine vinegar and soap, fly paper, keeping the area clean), but it does seem to be one of the very best tools in my arsenal against insects. In combination, diatomaceous earth, sealing door and window gaps, Terro traps, a fly paper trap, and a vinegar, sugar, water, and soap trap when necessary seem to take care of 90-95% of bugs in my otherwise fairly vulnerable faux-studio bedroom space, and I reckon that diatomaceous earth does about 50% of the work. It seems to be particularly effective against spiders, thank god. Fortunately, I haven’t had much of an issue with houseflies, but I would guess that it would be somewhat effective for them, too, if you’re willing to diffuse it onto walls and window sills. Unless, I accidentally drop a large amount on the carpet or something, I don’t really vacuum this up or anything; I just apply every 6-12 months over as many surfaces as I feel I reasonably can, and I’m willing to accept a slight white cast or occasional white spots on surfaces and the risk of some minor skin irritation (not that I’ve really noticed any, apart from applying the product by hand) over having a lot of bugs in my space. I didn’t really use a mask or anything the first couple times I applied this stuff everywhere, which is probably really stupid of me as it’s not great for your lungs, so please take caution in that regard. My hope is that once it’s out of the air/settled, it’s not much of a lung health risk even if applied over a huge number of surfaces in a space, but it is a potential risk to be aware of.
