Harris Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade, 5lb with Powder Duster Included in The Bag

We own our house and are very clean but have nasty neighbors and thus we have roaches. We used this with a fan in the kitchen so we get a nice even thin layer on every surface, that way the there so no where for the roaches to go but in the power and the its not poisonous to humans. If you make a dust cloud in the bag by spraying the dirt with the duster back into the bag, it makes a cloud of dust. Have an oscillating fan near by to evenly disperse the dust, and it will make it so that it looks like there isn't any dust spread but there is, its gets on other things but make sure to wipe them down. We live in a unit condo townhouse, with 5 other people attached to us...it took a few weeks but the roaches are gone. The ones I did see in the kitchen at night, i left them alone to walk in the dust, and then a couple days later, its been 5 days now without one in sight; and i check my kitchen religiously 1AM, 3AM when they are most active and think we are asleep or there is little activity. We also did other precautions like the following: - mosquito net all vents (bathroom vents, floor vents, side vents) - clean up all crumbs - sprayed dust behind dishwasher, under stove and under fridge and under the couch - seal up all holes that go into the wall like drain pipes; also dusted under cabinets - bought food seal containers - no dirty dishes over night - all garbage with food gets thrown out at night (ie. put into garage) no garbage with food in the kitchen over night We first sighted a roach around June 20th, and our last sighting was Aug15th. Between that time we saw around 50 of them, kill most on sight; my wife killed a nest they made in our juicer and so we threw out the juicer, and bagged our air fryer and toaster. I'm still waiting on a clear verdict before we go back to normal ie. waiting a month or 2 without seeing even 1, that way we know they are gone for good.

My favourite diatomaceous earth brand. In my opinion, it’s smoother and not gritty compare to some brands which I tried.

Great product, works as expected. We put this under our dog's bowls inside and outside to deter ants and other Critters. A small amount can be added to the dog's food also to facilitate in worming. This bag will go a very long way.

The stuff actually got rid of the flea infestation in my apartment. I needed to find a way to get rid of the fleas without moving my pets out of the apartment and I couldn’t find a way. Then I found this. And thank God this stuff actually works. You do need to use it for a couple weeks and reapply every 2 to 3 days and vacuum each time before you reapply, but it is completely worth it. So I got this and put it on all fabric surfaces that my pets touch in my apartment vacuumed everything else very thoroughly and gave the pets capstar and then gave my dog a chewable flea preventative as well, and the fleas are gone. The only thing that I will say is that you absolutely need to wear a mask while applying this and keep your pets away while you’re applying it because this stuff does go straight into your lungs I had a cloth covering my face the first few times and this stuff got into my lungs to the point that I spit up blood; because its made of tiny sharp little fragments that easily get into your lungs. But that only happened to me one time and from then on I wore a mask and it was fine. 100% worth it to get rid of the fleas and extremely effective.

I am always looking for natural ways to rid my gardens whether they be floral or edible of pests without using chemicals. HARRIS Diatomaceous Earth does just that. It is food-grade meaning you can eat it if you wish. Diatomaceous Earth is a whitish, powdery mineral/clay that works as a mechanical pesticide and not a chemical one. It can also be used for many other things such as tooth or face polish, a source of silica when added to food, and cat litter deodorizer and it can be applied to pets to kill fleas. However, I use it in my garden. I sprinkle it on the soil both inside and outside. When a pest comes into contact with it, the clay absorbs the moisture from the pest and exterminates it. I bought the 5lb bag as I also use the powder duster to dust my 2 cherry trees. I got the idea from an organic apple orchard near my home. I have also eliminated all the gnats from my home plants using diatomaceous earth. There are only 2 disadvantages to the clay that I have experienced. One is that I need to reapply the clay after watering or rainfall but it is quick and simple. Two is that if it is a windy day and I am dusting my trees, I end up with clay in my hair and on my clothes. But no worries as it washes out and is good for your skin anyway.
