I bought this Harris Diatomaceous Earth to deal with some ants and other crawling bugs around the house, and it’s been working really well. The powder is super fine and not sticky at all — it spreads easily and doesn’t leave any kind of residue or mess. The little powder duster that comes in the bag is really handy. It makes it easy to apply the product in corners, along baseboards, and even outside around the foundation. The bag itself seals tightly, so there’s no worry about it spilling or getting moisture inside. The product quality feels high, and you don’t need to use a lot for it to be effective. For the size of the bag, it’s a great deal — plenty of powder for multiple applications. Pros: easy to use, clean to apply, good seal on the bag, great value Cons: none — it works just as described Overall, this is a great natural way to control insects without harsh chemicals. I’d definitely buy it again. Read more
I’ve been using Diatomaceous Earth every spring to deal with clover mites and it works great. It’s one of the most effective solutions I’ve found for keeping them under control without having to rely on harsh chemicals. Once it’s applied, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do and keeps the problem from getting out of hand. It can be a little messy during application, but that’s a small trade off for how well it works. I appreciate that it’s long-lasting and reliable year after year. If you’re dealing with clover mites or other crawling insects, this is a product that really gets the job done. Read more
I live in public housing and there is a huge bug problem... roaches & bedbugs. I had both for a while until someone suggested Diatomaceous earth. I put some of this all over the place at first, right on the kitchen counters where roaches crawl, all around the bed, even on the bedframe itself on the flat parts, I put it everywhere I saw a bug ; Didn't take long for the entire population of both kinds of bugs to die off. I rarely see a roach or a bedbug now, despite the neighbor's places crawling with them. I can live like a normal person while others , who refuse to even consider doing the work it takes, live in squalor. This stuff made my life so much better I keep a bag of it around to help others if they will take it. If you don't get it wet it will last a very long time. Bugs crawl through it and die quite soon after. It's safe as long as you wear a mask while applying it with the applicator. It's so good that the exterminator does not come in my apartment, he says I do a better job than his spray can do. He says I have the best apartment in the building as far as lack of bugs goes. It has no smell. It doesn't blow around unless you point a blast of air directly at it. You can make little berms of it wherever bugs crawl ; they crawl through it and then they die soon after, carrying it back to the nest where it will kill others too. GREAT PRODUCT all natural just don't breathe it in directly and even if you do it won't hurt you in small amounts just agitate your throat a little bit. Read more
Works well with adult roaches. Takes a little longer with baby ones. Maybe because the weight difference. I believe one they crawl on the powder it cuts them and the die in their nest area. So far I believe it's working. I feel better knowing this is safe because of my fur babies. The powder is made from ground shells. Read more

Works great, ants at front door, and one of my bedroom windows. My son n law sprinkled powder outside around my window and front door. Seems to me Ants don’t want to get in near it. Not sure, but they’re staying away from door and stopped coming in my window. I like that it’s not toxic, I have budgies free 24/7 I will not use it inside my room because it’s a powder. will not work if it gets wet, not an issue for me. I’ll just put more. Read more
It did exactly what was needed. They need to change the bad closure because I have had 3 different people besides myself try to ziplock it back together to save what was not used and its just not going to happen. Other than that I am happy with the product. Read more
