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.

Had an issue with cockroaches when a previous roommate did not properly store their pets' food away and basically left the bags of food open in the garage. Unfortunately, when we started to see cockroaches near the garage it was already too late. The house was infested, bombing it was a temporary fix, but the cockroaches always came back after a few months. Preparing the house for fumigation was time-consuming due to the number of people and pets living here, and hiring a professional exterminator is too expensive for us.We researched more natural ways to keep the infestation at bay and found diatomaceous earth. It's food-grade, so if this was accidentally ingested it would be ok. You do have to be very careful though, because this powder is so fine and if we breathe it in, it is very harmful to our lungs and respiratory tract. We masked up and dusted the powder very lightly on areas where we knew the cockroaches appeared and where not a lot of people or pets would access often or for long. We sprayed a light mist of water to keep the powder from flying up into the air just in case. It took some time for the powder to show its effectiveness as we still were seeing cockroaches, but by the end of the month, we all suddenly thought that there weren't a lot of cockroach sightings as in previous months. Additionally, it did help with the large ant hills near our front door.We originally bought this as it was small and affordable to try, definitely a fraction of the cost compared to fumigating or calling a professional. If it didn't work we would at least be able to use this in our garden and say it was worth a try. Since it works, we will be buying more diatomaceous earth.Edit:It has been over half a year since we got this. Realistically, I will say this did not eliminate all cockroaches, unfortunately. However, it has been effective for our infestation with some patience and time. We were using this product almost daily for almost 3 months until it got to the point where we were only seeing a sighting of a cockroach once a month. After that, we would put more focus on the area where the cockroach was seen and use this product there.I hated to live in the house due to how disgusted I was with it, but now it is very livable. For those in dire situations with no possibility for a more permanent solution, this is still a highly effective temporary solution.

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.

Good stuff and works well unless it gets wet

Stops pests!Normally this time of year our house gets invaded by earwigs and ants. Like Sam and Dean trying to keep out ghosts and demons, I put lines of this stuff around doorways and windows and immediately stopped seeing pests. I've reapplied once after a bad storm but this stuff has been incredible. My dogs leave it alone and haven't shown any interest in it. I do recommend cutting the tip fairly large for easier dispersal.

I purchased this product as I'm in an apt bldg that I was told by Orkin they were finding bedbugs! My cabinets had weevils, I personally can't stand bugs! So I purchased this product because it's food grade & safe to use around my cats, who pay no attention to it! But I put this all around the perimeter of my apt so bed bugs will not come in! I used it in my cabinets and I've seen no bugs period! I had used this product in Fla. and it kept all bugs out even roaches. I highly recommend this product and a look little goes a long way! It's priced right too and easy to apply. 👍🏻

Works pretty well for a natural product for killing bugs. Easy to use, I prefer this bottle over the other ways I've ordered it.

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
