Tools and Hardware Reviews of Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade 5 Lb
Customer Review: GreenSense Diatomeceous Earth
Summary: 4 Stars
Product worked after a few weeks and the animals seemed happier. Killed fleas in the house over a period of three to four weeks without using on animal flea killers. I liked the product for it's organic nature and non harmful properties to my animals, children and home. A little hard to use in the house at first. I recommend putting it in places animals sleep, not everywhere as it gets in the air and makes a layer of itself all over everything.Customer Review: Product is OK

Packing was not taped well, with box open at one end some of product which is a powder escaped in transit, but not enough to ask for compensation. Just arrives a litttle messy!Customer Review: Results from diatomac earth
Summary: 4 Stars
I used this product on four cats and four dogs. All visible worms were gone within about a week. I have two finicky eaters so it has been a chore to get it into food that they would eat. The worst side effect has been that of hard stools for all. I have used pumpkin and oat bran for that. I have had terrible problems with worms even using revolution and the wormers has been hard.
Diatomaceous Earth(food grade)is cheap compared to the wormers. I also have one female cat on magnesium low food for kidney infections. All animals seem to have tolerated the product well. I would like to have been told to put on goggles as no matter how careful you are it gets in your eyes. It doesn't seem to hurt them but just annoying. If you don't put on goggles have a eye wash ready or some solution for dry eyes. Great product despite the few problems I have had.
Customer Review: Very nice and affordable

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.
Customer Review: What a pain
Summary: 3 Stars
I used DE years ago with a carpeted house successfully to get rid of fleas. We have mostly hardwood now, and even wearing a mask and goggles, this stuff went everywhere when I vacuumed (even the carpet). The entire house is now under a white layer. My lungs are killing me and I was up all night with poison control because the pain and lack of oxygen from exposure was so severe I thought I might die. I would not recommend using in houses with wood floors, without professional respirators, or in houses with children as their stuff is entirely coated unless you bag it all up first. We have vacuumed extensively and mopped 3 times in less than 12 hours with various things-Mrs. Meyers, water, vinegar & water mix to remove it and it will not get off the floors at all. It looks like a cornstarch factory exploded. This has been such a huge ordeal for us to clean the DE mess up, I will never use it again.
