HARRIS Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade, 4lb with Powder Duster Included in The Bag

Works well on a number of pests and highly recommend the duster to optimize application.

I use this for the vegetable garden and to discourage household pests. A little goes a long way and it is a readonably safe and effective natural bug deterrent. I put it under the built-in heaters, around where pipes go through the wall, on outer sills of windows that are close to ground level, under the fridge, under the stove, etc. to discourage insects and it is very helpful. I do not use the duster indoors as diatomaceous earth dust is dangerous to breathe or to get in your eyes. Always wear a safety mask and safety goggles when using it, make sure no kids or pets or anyone else is around, clean up after yourself to remove extraneous dust, and only apply it where kids and pets will not get at it. This is food grade and completely safe to ingest for people and animals - many people eat it as a health supplement and it is commonly fed to livestock - but breathing it in or getting it in your eyes is a no no as the particles in the dust are sharp. I have seen it applied carelessly with no ill effects to anyone, but better safe than sorry. This particular brand has a good reputation and 4 lbs. is perfect for my needs.

Great product! Use it in the garden and make my own supplements with a capsule filler and a little bit of citric acid. The 4lb bag at this price gives me plenty for both. The applicator/blower is garbage. Upside down does just a little bit more than nothing. Outlets on the bottom will blow 90% of it out in the first two puffs and leave you with a stopped up mess, and after just a few tries the sides of the bellow are starting to wrinkle and bind. I ended up using an 8oz squeeze bottle and thats worked out perfect for the garden application. It can be very messy working with such a large bag so recommended that you use it outside with good air flow.

Great deal

Used this product to get rid of a variety of household pests. Chemicals dont work because we have children in the house. Took care of ants and spider and all of the spring time pests inside! Swear by this stuff! Also used in the past to get rid of a bed bug problem. After spending 5k with Orkin one of the call center reps at Orkin told me to give this a try and lo and behold $16 and two weeks later, I had no further bed big issues...it did what Orkin could not do for $5,000! Will always be my go to for pest control!

My pic isn’t he best however, the product works to deter some pest out of your garden but def not all (I.e ants) as they will just crawl under and around it. Please be advised it is a powder so once it rains or the soil area is wet you will have to reapply the DE to that are (hence why it’s hard to see in my pic as the soil is wet). It can create a hardness in the soil as well if allowed to dry on top of soil after being wet)… overall will keep using it for my garden

Every once in a while, the duster would emit a clot of powder before sending out a fog of powder. And yes, I do mean fog. A couple of puffs from the duster left a cloud over my carpet that took 15 minutes to settle. You couldnt even see it on the carpeting, but it really cut down the bugs. After a day the dog went from scratching constantly to only doing it once or twice a day. I bet if I turned the duster right side up and tapped the cover a few times to clear the nozzle I could stop the clot I mentioned. You actually turn the duster upside down to spray the powder.

I was a little hesitant when I bought this. I keep my place clean, but I have a cat and a neighborhood full of ants. Every summer they come into my house and always find the catfood I have left out for my cat. I have tried everything and nothing has worked long term. However, I laid some of this inside the house and the ants disappeared. I bought food gade and my cat is perfectly good with it. Then I put it around outside and the ants disappeared from my yard (a deck in the back and a small sliver of plants in the front of my house). I have to replace it when it rains hard, but the fact that I dont have to worry about ants in my house makes it 100% worth it. I have already recommended it to anyone and everyone that listens to me. I am now recommending it to you if you have ants. I do not know if it works on all ants, but it did on mine.

Doesnt kill the bugs

Our neighbors have a termite infestation somewhere in their yard and they have unfortunately climbed the outside of my room and burrowed holes in the window sill. Ive been using this on the inside and outside (on top of other treatments) and they havent come back since! The duster squeezer is also really helpful. Wear gloves with this!!
