5.0 out of 5 stars Great for pest control for animals, July 24, 2007

I read about DE and thought I would give it a try before the hot summer approached and the flys. I use this mainly to control fly larvae in horse manure piles. I sprinkle on manure 2x a week - I clean the corrals once a week and have not found any larvae. The fly population has been noticably decreaced. I also use this on the dogs for fleas. Also sprinkle all around the house for ants and any other bugs. It is a great safe product.

Safe for people & pets. You can even eat it or mix it in pet or livestock food to kill internal parasites. It's a top safe flea powder too... oderless. Sprinkle it in your garden, basement, under the sofa cushions, under the carpet, mattress & the bugs are gone safely. Still works if it gets wet.

Mixed with water and sprayed on the foundation of our house (inside and out). Really stopped the annual migration of spiders and millipedes into our home, and it's pet friendly!
