HARRIS Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade, Half Pound with Easy Application Puffer Tip

This stuff really works! HARRIS Diatomaceous Earth is super easy to use—so easy, in fact, that my 3-year-old climbed up on some boxes, opened it herself, and started sprinkling it on the ground like it was chalk art in a bottle (thankfully not on herself!). That just goes to show how user-friendly and mess-free it is.I applied it near our basement entrance, where we were seeing several ants a day creeping inside. After using it regularly—about once a week, the number dropped dramatically. From finding 10+ ants a day to just a couple a day in 2 weeks, and then eventually none at all after about a month. It made a huge difference.I also used it while in Hawaii, where the cockroach situation can be intense. The cockroach population definitely went down after use in the condo, and one morning I found several large dead cockroaches suddenly in a pot of water—something that had been sitting out for weeks with no activity before. Clearly, they were drying out and desperately searching for moisture.Pros:1) Easy to apply and non-toxic2) Very effective against ants and cockroaches3) Can be used both indoors and outdoors - be careful if indoorsCons:1) Requires reapplication for best results if it rains or gets windy2) Careful when applying if windy - DANGEROUS to inhale or get in eyes, otherwise non-toxicOverall, it’s an affordable, effective, and safe pest control option that I’ll continue to keep on hand. Highly recommend.

It got rid of my fly Nats!! I had a really bad problem with them in my houseplants soil but if you sprinkle some of this, on a microscopic lvl it cuts and sucks the moisture off them till they soon after die. Just so you don't make the same mistake as me!make sure your soil is dry and before applying the product, try to hold off watering as much as possible to let the powder take effect, and make sure to ONLY. Bottom water your plants after for a while until you see the number go down. Whenever this powder gets wet it will no longer kill the pests. I have 30+ plants and didnt even go through a 5th of this its enough for many fly nat infestations or many MANY more plants!

Had an insane flea infestation. Used all kinds of flea bombs to get rid of them but it seem to feed them. Got this as my last resort before calling a professional. I wish I had used this first! Could have saved so much money. Took about a week but it killed them even though I don’t have carpeting at all. Was able to put along the base board and a light sprinkle on the floor itself and it worked. Now the cleaning up, that was a pain but think of this, no fleas. So it’s worth the extra sweeping and moping to get it up. I keep a bottle of this so I can sprinkle around the shoes during flea season to hopefully reduce the fleas that hitch rides on shoes and clothing. Always have some by the entry door. It really helps.

A little bit goes a long way. So for me this size is great. My vegetable plants start off great but eventually the heat causes them stress and the insect problem begins. A little powdering of this does the trick and it's food grade so no worry of toxic insecticide. There are feral cats in my yard and I use this lightly in areas where they sleep to help with fleas. I used it frequently when I had chickens. Always food grade for animal safety. When applying, it's the fine dust that does best and sometimes this is hard to achieve. If you put too much the insects will just avoid walking through it. It must be reapplied after rain or weather. This size is not likely the best bang for your buck if you need large areas treated for insects. The nozzle is not ideal for dusting but then I haven't found any that work with diatomaceous earth. It often comes out in a stream. A household sifter is probably the most effective for just a fine dust. Remember to mask or be cautious. Even though it doesn't smell the little particles can irritate your lungs and your pets lungs. The pets licking after you dust them lightly is a very good reason for food grade. (There are reports of feeding this, always food grade, in measured amounts to your flock or pets to control internal parasites. I definitely have no experience with this but it is worth exploring.)

This is an effective way to eliminate and prevent an all out plague of bugs. It’s sage around people and pets, and can be applied to under appliances, inside drawers and cabinets. The only problem I had with this particular “model” the soft puffer bottle, is getting the right size so the bottle doesn’t puff out big globs. This product is multi-functional and if I disturbed, such as under furniture, it lasts. It can also be used on and around plants. I have yet to find a way, however, to evenly disperse it

I have used diatomaceous earth around the home and garden for years for non-toxic pest control. It works when it is dry. I've used it indoors for flea control and it's great because you don't have to worry about pets or children getting poisoned by it. This container makes it convenient to apply.

I haven't used it. The only complaint I have as of right now is that it wasn't sealed when I got it. I just now went to open it and noticed it. It also was only about 3/4 full. Is that because it was opened and some taken out or was it due to shrinkage like everything else? I

Your basic DE, kills bugs and is beneficial for a slew of things. DO NOT INHALE the powder or its dust, wear a mask when applying and / or vacuuming. Easy to apply with the puffer end, comes out a little clumpy but worked for what i needed it.
