Safer Home SH51703 OMRI Listed Diatomaceous Earth - Ant, Roach, Bedbug, Flea, Silverfish, Earwig, Crawling Insect Killer

This Diatomaceous Earth (DE) product is effective in eliminating crawling insects both inside the house and in bed bug-infested areas. It works by targeting insects' small holes in their exoskeletal shells breaking their functionality. DE can be used for dietary supplementation and as a dewormer too since it contains calcium, magnesium and other trace minerals that improve a cat's appetite and metabolism, bettering the digestion process. It is recommended that a correctly rated filter mask and gloves should always be worn when working with Calcined DE powder because it is harmful to humans. When it comes to cleaning up, a shop vac may be used, but a regular vacuum cleaner is not recommended. People who want to apply the powder outside or inside can use a hand duster, power duster, bulbous duster, or any other suitable equipment. Nevertheless, it is a little messy to use. While the majority of customers had a positive experience using this product, some of them said it was not effective enough for their needs, it did not kill the roaches that were eating the powder, and it was messy. Some say that it was effective when used alongside bug traps, but others found it useless. Regardless of effectiveness, most agree that it is reasonably priced and will repurchase it.
