User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Organic pest control, simple and easy
This product, diatomaceous earth, is a silica compound made from ancient seas and fossils. When roaches crawl over even a fine dusting, the crystals puncture and dehydrate the insect. I have been using it in my basement, especially around the water heater and drain pipe, and under the sinks as here in Albuquerque roaches mostly come in through the water systems. All I ever see is a few very dead roaches that make it past the waterheater/furnace room!

5 Stars d-earth
Received a ten pound bag of diatomaceous, a non-toxic pesticide safe even in households with infants, to use against the giant poisonous centipedes(!) of Lamma Island, Hong Kong. Price low, excellent, highly personalized customer service by the supplier in Texas. Will advise in due course as to how well it suppressed the household centipede population. i mean that these mean and aggressive puppies are eight inches long as adults!

5 Stars CRITTER RIDDER PAR EXCELLANCE!!!
I recently bought some kitchen cabinets from Home Depot, that came complete with cockroach eggs. (My house got infested with roaches that aren't indigineous to this area and I never had roaches here before the cabinets) I sprinkled DE all around my house, inside and out. After one treatment and about five days I haven't seen anything crawling on my floors or walls but I have been picking up dead roaches and spiders. Although my floors don't look so great coated with powder, I feel my pets and I remain safe with the powder everywhere. I'm about ready to sweep the remainder of the powder up to the floor boards and clean up the rest of the mess. Fortunately DE made safe and chemically free quick work of eliminating these critters in my house. I highly recommend using the powder for elimation of fleas as well.

5 Stars Works great
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!

5 Stars Amazing Stuff!!!
DE, or Diatomaceous Earth, is a product I have used for about a year now. If you are planning to use it for human consumption, or animal consumption, please make absolutely sure that it is a food grade DE. It is an amazing product. My dog is 11 years old, and over the past year has started acting like a puppy again. Personally, I have lost 22 pounds in about 12 months (by choice...I need to lose about 30 more)...no change in diet, just a teaspoon of DE every day in a glass of water, or one half teaspoon twice a day. If you do not need to lose weight, it will not MAKE you lose weight. Mostly, it just regulates our bodies. My intestinal system has never worked so well...EVER! I am not advocating the use of DE as a human product...I am just telling you how it has helped me. If it is safe for dogs as they say, well, why not humans also? We are both mammals. Horses also do well by adding DE at the rate of about 2%-3% to their daily intake of food.
