Very nice and affordable April 4, 2007

I used DE in my home becuase of bedbugs. It has been about a month and i havent seen one since. I reccommend food grade DE as a safer non-toxic pesticide. In the home, left undisturbed it should work for months, I have never used this outside.

I reccommend buying a specific pump to be used with DE and also a face mask for application.

If you have bedbugs, first get treated by a professional and then use DE as a preventative. Ask how to apply for maximum effectiveness (yes this works if done correctly). Also visit bedbug websites to learn more.

A Little Goes A Long Way April 24, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
My back yard is bordered by some very dense shrubbery and brush, which is a fertile breeding ground for creepy crawlies. With this stuff I'm able to create a cordon which keeps the bugs out of the yard and away from the house. As others have noted, you do have to replace it when it rains. I don't see this as a huge problem, however, as it really goes a long way. I estimate I can probably get a couple of dozen treatments from the one bag. A good product, especially if you have pets or small children and don't want to expose them to dangerous poisons.

Diatomaceaous Earth May 29, 2007
Works great. I used it around the perimeter of the house as part of a two step method to rid my home of sugar ants that invade every spring. First tier was a boric acid & sugar solution put into baby food jars. I'm happy to say we no longer have an ant problem and it was a huge relief to find a safe, eco-friendly and effective product for the outside of my home.

I bought this product to put on my Yorkies for flea control, and to spread around the house for the roaches that the city forced into my house by forcing me to get city sewer. Read more

I bought way too much
Got a larger 5 pound package and could have had more than I needed with a 1/2 lb. No issue to report so far other than that.
