FANTASTIC!!
Super smooth, fine powder. Non irritating. Works just as described. I always have DE on hand for non toxic, pet friendly, long-lasting, cheap and indoor pest control. We had an infestation of drugstore beetles. This DE was a life saver! Love DE!

Amazing stuff - and this is a good brand
I'm amazed. Simply amazed. I went to Walgreens one day recently to pick up ant bait to combat the sudden appearance of ants in our kitchen in the past couple months that no amount of cleaning and spraying is stopping. A very friendly man there told me that I might have more luck with DE. Okay, so I innocently tried this product just for the ants first. Let me tell you! Wow! First of all, my kittens live this stuff. Second of all, the morning after I spread this stuff, I found dead millipedes and other things I had no idea were even in my house, but not a single live bug crawling anywhere in my kitchen. it was a sudden improvement, and such a simple solution. I then thought about how much my cats liked it. I wondered if I could use it as a flea treatment of a flea preventative. What I discovered was much better. You see, it just so happens that we had just adopted these two kittens three months earlier and they had brought Gardia home to our poor little terrier. Then one of the kittens refused and continues to accept his medicine despite my years of experience treating the family pets. Then he drinks the dog's water, reinfecting her over and over. The good news is that DE may kill parasites. It was worth a try. I mixed some in the cats' food, since it's food grade. They loved it!! And the best part is that their stools went from completely liquid to firm, solid stools. I then treated the dog. She was a little harder to treat because she has always been extremely fussy about every single bite that passes her lips, but it was easier than giving her the other Garcia treatment, Panacur, and she also *recovered.* I'm simply amazed. So the third and fourth thing? I treated us (my husband and me) and I treated my garden. My husband's Gastroenterologist told him he appears to have a chronic direction in his colon and gave him an antibiotic for it, also telling him to take Probiotics. It didn't fix the problems my poor, dear husband was having, though, and he severe symptoms of a disorder of his colon for years. As for me, I had less severe colon symptoms but I had chronuc, severe gastric problems. On top of that, I had chronic infections. For those reasons, I decided to give us both a small dose of DE every day to see if it would have any positive effect. I was very nervous and started small. At the same time, I sprinkled DE in my pest-ridden garden and took a wait-and-see approach. That was the clincher - these last two experiments. My husband and I apparently had some kind of horrifying worm, the evidence of which has shown up for both of us in our colon output, speaking delicately. We both feel better. Outside, my garden became healthier just as growing season ended, and inside, the dog and the two kittens are thriving. The house is free of ants and other creepy-crawlies, and honestly, I am just amazed. I'm going to keep this stuff on hand. ... One thing, you might want to get you a mask because it's pretty dusty. It's not necessary but I felt better with a simple mask. It's easy to handle without breathing dust in but I just felt better having a mask for the sake of being safe. I got one of those cloth masks with the insertable charcoal filter, because if you breathe this stuff in, my understanding is that it can hurt you.

Great pest control for ants and centipedes
I purchased this to control an ant and centipede problem in and around my house. The packing talks about actually ingesting this, which is not covered in this review. It worked amazingly well and fast as a pest control after trying other "environmentally-friendly" methods that did not work. Within a week of dusting the perimeter of my home, I had no ant or centipede problems. Weeks later, I am still ant and centipede free, though I will be doing another application for maintenance. Be careful when applying and do wear a dust mask and gloves, as it is a very fine powder that creates airborne plumes very easily. Also note that this powder is bright white and it will be very noticeable upon application.

Many uses, best for ants
I originally bought this to use in my smoothies as a dietary aid. Then I read how I could use it as a pesticide indoors and out and that is ultimately what I use it for. I have used it in the garden and in the house to get rid of Argentinian ants. I live in Southern California and they have become quite the nuisance. I have had the pest control out 4 times, because what he was using wasn't getting the job done. He said the usual bugs sprays are not as effective on these ants and can increase their activity. Diatamaceous earth on the other hand worked like a charm. I sprinkled it EVERYWHERE to get them under control. It works by clinging to their exoskeletons. They carry the particles back to their nest and the particles kill them by cutting into their skeletons and dehydrating them. They can move around a bit with it on them, long enough to get back to where they came from, but once they go to the nest, they don't come back out. Depending on how much you put out, it could take hours or the better part of a day to see the results, but it does work. It only works dry, so if it gets wet, it won't be effective again until it dries. Since it is rather inexpensive, I used it liberally. It is safe to use around food and pets and plants. The only downside is that the dust doesn't go away, so depending on how much you put down, it could create a mess until you decide to clean it up. TIP: Encircle the ant or nest so that the ants have to cross the path of the dust to ensure that they get some on them. Or you can sprinkle it directly on the ants, or plants. TIP: Don't clean up the suit with your vacuum. It will not be pretty. Clean it up by mopping, or with a wet paper towel.

Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth
We use this as a nonpoisonous insect control. Powder will kill most hard shelled incests like ants and roaches without odor or danger to children and pets. Great while camping as it can be sprinkled around RV wheels to keep out insects without harming anything else. 5 pounds goes a long way as it's very light weight.

Great product & great price.
I use this for so many things. Put a teaspoon in your wet pet food to keep parasites/worms under control and help them with pain. I put a teaspoon into my drink 2 times a day to help control pain and keep GERD at bay. I dust my baseboards, dust under couch cushion, and sprinkle between box spring and mattress periodically to keep bed bugs (and other crawlies) at bay because it dehydrates them and kills them quickly. I sprinkle it into my potted plants to keep dust mites and mold from growing. There are tons of other uses, but suffice to say that this is a wonderful product and edible. WARNING: try not to breathe it in because it can dehydrate your lungs. This 5 lb. bag will last years (unless you're spreading it all over your garden to kill slugs and crawlies).

By far this product Diatomaceous Earth DE (food grade) Has been a life saver in so many ways. I had been searching for answers for some puzzling things that I had originally thought were just due to the aging process. However when I initially decided to try this it was purely for reasons concerning my hair and its current state at the time. I have very fine hair and over the last 20 years it's been getting much thinner. I had tried many things..and yet still kept searching. With anything..there were no guarantees. After receiving DE (food grade) I started right away . In the days that followed I noticed so much. I researched DE everyday for almost 2 weeks in and was blown away at not only what I found but what and how it was working for me. Not only was I able to rid myself of nasty parasites and bacteria..my nails, hair and skin are shining. My mind is much clearer and my sleep is solid Amazing!!! Lost 2 lbs in 2 weeks not Changing a single thing. First 5 days for me were a little rough as the parasite "die off " can feel pretty ugly and it varies from person to person. But most of all the truly amazing part for me is not only the energy I feel instantly and continually..its that I have been off coffee now for a week..๐ I'm at 4 weeks today. Happened without me noticing..๐ Just had energy enough maybe to think I had already had my coffee ๐ค and oddly enough no coffee withdrawal. That would have a migraine attached.. but nothing ๐ Best part (which I didn't think I believed DE would do) was grow my hair. Well it has!! . In fact it was about 12 days in when I was feeling around in my scalp. Noticed that I had a little stubble. I got excited of course. And within three weeks of using DE I decided to part my hair into small sections. Within the parts I was amazed.. I found half inch to an inch hairs growing everywhere all over my scalp. I've left these two pictures to show you what my hair looks like previous approximately 2 months prior. One from today. I should mention that my nails 3 days in I'd noticed they were strong didn't bend easily and were white very healthy looking ... Hope this review helps anyone who's wanting that cleanse that youth restoring "cure" if you will. Be well ๐ฟ

I was very disappointed with this product. It looks fine when dry, but when added to the water you can see right away whole bunch of black and brown impurities, some sink, some float, it feels like sand on my teeth, the particles are not all fine dust, lots of big ones. I cannot use this product. I wish I opened it up sooner, so I can return it. Now I guess it's too late.
