HARRIS Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade, 2lb with Powder Duster Included in The Bag

Great for pest control if you are on a tight budget and do research. The puffer included works best if you very gently puff it, and I mean with very little pressure.Like one finger pushing it down. If you find that too much is still coming out, shake it before each puff and hold it sideways or with the yellow side up instead of clear side up.Overall easy to apply and helps cut down on pests that come in attached to pets. I try to vacuum it up every week or every two weeks at the least and reapply. Don’t forget cracks and crevices.Do keep in mind that if you don’t have a vacuum with a HEPA filter and/or fine particle filter, vacuuming up DE can ruin the motor with repeated vacuuming. I use a shop vac with a bag and fine filter combo, and shake the filter out outside after each use.

SECOND EDIT: This product actually did do some harm. It drove the bed bugs away enough that no exterminator can find visual evidence, and therefore cannot do anything. But the little devils are still there, eating me up every night. I'm going to hire a dog sniffing service to detect them and get some extermination going on. BUT I do understand it works pretty well for less tenacious insects like fleas and ants.EDIT: this stuff is all the things I described as far as ease of use and its nontoxic nature. But my report of success was too hasty. The bites have started up again. So, take this as you choose. I don't think it hurt anything, and might work after another week or two.This really works! Within a week of dusting, the bugs were gone. This stuff is easy to use, non-toxic, has no smell, leaves no stains. It is easy to use. The idea is to distribute a very fine dusting of this powder, and the applicator included does that very well. It took two or three squeezes to get the hang of using the applicator. Although this is so non-toxic you can eat it by the spoonful, you don't want to inhale the dust, or get it in your eyes. So I wore a dust mask and safety goggles. It is very messy to fill the applicator, so do it over the sink. Open it over the sink, too. The applicator is not wrapped separately, it is shoved into the top of the bag of earth, so you spill a bit of earth trying to dig it out. The messiness is easy to clean up, though, and well worth the effort.

This stuff is great. I use it indoors and outside to deter bugs. I've used it for years and can say without a doubt it kills bugs. You will need to reapply if it rains and such but it's safer than spreading chemicals everywhere. Chemicals might be needed sometimes in some situations, but prevention is always the best road to take.Don't use it outside in heavy wind and if you're not used to using the spreader they provide in the bag yet, I recommend using a face mask until you get the hang of it so you don't breathe it in. Don't spread it inside or outside if your pets are right next to you so they don't breathe it in either. If they eat it or roll in it, no worries, it's non-toxic and won't harm them.I think this product is overpriced but will definitely purchase again, which is not a usual shopping behavior for me, but I'd rather overpay a bit than deal with bugs. Every bag of diatomaceous earth I've bought from this brand has been consistent with quality, even the pump-sprayer they include. I usually use this brand inside my house and use a different (somewhat lower quality) brand from a local supply store outside just to be cost-effective. If there is a specific need for it, I use this brand outside instead just to be sure.Buy it, use it, and see for yourself.

I’ve been dealing with a roach problem in my kitchen and garage, and after trying sprays and bait traps with mixed results, I decided to give Harris Diatomaceous Earth a shot. I’ll be honest—it’s messy. The fine powder gets everywhere if you’re not careful, and applying it takes some patience. But once it’s down, it works.Within a few days, I started seeing dead roaches around the areas where I applied the powder, which was honestly a huge relief. It’s nice knowing this is a natural, chemical-free option, especially since I have a small dog. The key is to apply a thin layer in areas where roaches travel.A couple of things to keep in mind: It can be dusty, so wearing a mask while applying it is a good idea, and it works best in dry areas since moisture can make it clump or smear as you see in the second photo. Cleanup can be a hassle, but for something that actually gets rid of roaches, I’ll take it. If you’re looking for a solid solution and don’t mind a little mess, this is worth trying.

This is another item I don't think we could operate without., Food grade makes it okay to use a wormer for my animals, and a line of it around baseboards will get rid of your ants and other creepy crawlies. At this price, it is to good not to have on hand.

I have used this for my dogs and me for a very long time. It kills parasites but is also helps with hair, skin and nails. Energy plus. No taste you can mix it in any drink. It has a little bit if grit to it. But so worth using for all the benefits

3 stars because I did get what I ordered but this stuff is awful. Makes a HUGE mess and the included puffer does not work, left clumps of it on the carpet which I had to sweep in. I'm going back to using borax and IGR sprays for flea control in the carpet. And other reviwers are correct that the zip top on the bag does not work. I even matched up the track on the zipper and it still wouldn't close. Maybe it is ok for outdoor use but NEVER using in my house again.
