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

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.

So far so good!

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.

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!

This product works good, but very messy

Im SOOOOO EXCITED about this! I have been using it for 9 months in my artwork. Then it felt as if something, maybe God, kept bringing it to mind. After hearing about it about 4 more times I dug in to research it. I started taking it immediately and gave it to my dogs. Both of my dogs are 15 and they both almost died about 2-3 months ago at different times. My pain in my wrists and hands went from a 9 to a 3 in 4-5 days, Ill take it daily. My dog Sabian had the death look in her eyes and everyone told me to prepare my heart. When my dog Oscra almost died instead I was in shock. I hadnt prepared my heart for that. When I found the all the info on the diatomaceous earth I was hopeful. It worked so fast! My dogs, one of which could never climb one step, is now running and jumping up the 2 steps coming into my house. Within 2 days I noticed how much energy I had. I kept getting compliments on my hair and skin looking so good. Day 4 I got soooo much relief in my joints. My joint pain went from a 9 to a 3! I bought 60 lbs to give away! I gave away my 1 st 4 lb bag within the first week so Im hopeful that we are all on our way to healing. My body is detoxing but at a tolerable rate. It is easy to do life with this. It may change after Ive been on it a bit longer. This is week one. Ive never had anything Ive ever tried work this fast. Just dont breathe it or let your animals breathe it. It you or your animals are sick, sprinkle castor oil in their kibble then the diatomaceous earth, mix it up so they cant breathe it. For people, just put a teaspoon in tea or coffee 3 times a week. The castor oil does a seek and destroy mission on any viral infections. So if you try it...youll know really fast if it works. My pain went from a 9 to a 6 in my back from the castor oil. Then I fell down a flight of stairs. I use about 1/4-1/2 tsp of castor oil to the same amount D.E. for my 10 pound dogs. I dont measure, I just guesstimate it. My dogs like it and they have gotten so much better than Ive ever seen them. Bless you in your process. This is an amazing product! Wow!

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.

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!

I’d read on the Internet that I could sprinkle this indoors and then simply vacuum it up. That wasn’t true. I sprinkled it in a room that wasn’t well ventilated, and it caused a lot of harm to my breathing, red irritated eyes, and other health problems. I tried clearing it out with air purifiers that had HEPA filters, plus 3 different kinds of vacuums that all had HEPA filters, including an industrial HEPA vac and a ship vac. The particles from the diatomaceous earth were so small that a lot of them passed through the HEPA filters. I got the carpet steam cleaned three times and I also hired a disaster cleaning company to use industrial air scrubbers. I finally had to remove the carpeting in the room. Use with caution, especially in rooms that aren’t well ventilated!

Great product..recommend!
