I had an invasion of little ants on my kitchen cabinets around the sink area. I kept killing them with liquid dish soap and they kept coming. Didn't want too but out of desperation I sprinkled Sevin 5 insect Dust over the area but it didn't completely stop them and who likes poison on their cabinets? Just one thin application of Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth around the back of the sink and they were gone and haven't been back. I may not be able to pronounce it but it works great.

Best Stuff Out There
By Jennifer on 10/11/2013
We bought this for fleas, silverfish and roaches. It was great because we have little children and dogs. It worked quickly and it didn't bother the kids or pets. I highly recommed this stuff to anyone. Note: A little does go a long way.

I read it could be used for insulation. I've got some wires going from floor to under the house. Hole too big. Wanted to use DE for a little insulation to keep cold out.

Organic Diatomaceous Earth is not labeled to be used on anything edible, so we cannot recommend this.
Can I sprinkle it on carpet/ upholstery alike and just vacuum?
Organic Diatomaceous Earth can be used for ticks indoors only as a crack and crevice treatment, applied with a hand duster. Diatomaceous Earth works very slowly on insects, so we would not recommend this be the sole treatment for ticks. Our Indoor Flea and Tick Kit would be a great choice for you since it also includes NyGuard Plus spray, which has both a quick knockdown and an Insect Growth Regulator to help control ticks longterm. Please see our Tick Treatment Guide for more tips and information.

And will the powder adhere to both top and bottom of the leaves?
Organic Diatomaceous Earth and does not have specific labeling for mites such as spider or russet mites. DE is a dry powder and will be removed with rain or watering on treated plants. While the dust could potentially kill insects contacted with the dust, it can take many days for insects to die from diatomaceous earth, so it is likely that you would not get the results you desire. Monterey Fruit Tree Spray Plus is a popular product for spider mites and similar insects on edible plants. Avid is one of our most popular miticides for ornamentals.

Why would you be allowed to use this label on a bag (4.4lbs Insect dust) as food grade?
Organic Diatomaceous Earth has a food grade approval as it is safe to use around people and animals versus other products that also contain Diatomaceous earth, i.e pool grade DE which is not considered safe. Being food grade does not mean that is safe for human consumption, and per the manufacturer this should not be done as it is manufacturered on the same machinery that produces things you should not ingest.

We recommend that your dog not be present during the application of Organic Diatomaceous Earth and until the dust settles. It is suggested to apply in areas that are inaccessible to pets. If your dog has licked the product and you notice any sudden changes in health/behavior, contact your local vet for treatment advice. You should refer to the MSDS for more safety information.

With all due respect, the answers to most of these concerns are the exact opposite of hundeds of sites that have tested DE in laboratories. They found the effects on humans and pets to be OK. Bedbugs can be gone and ingestion is OK to a degree. I see that this responder always gives an alternative product that they sell. What I suggest for those who have questionable concerns is to visit diamaceousearth.com. It has a Veterinarian on site and every question is answered without a biased sales pitch. If this post is not published, I have multiple others to post it. Not to slander My Own Pest Control ... but to merely viewers to read what is said, and make a sensible judgement call of their own. I have 11780 views on one of my sites, I believe that the Silicon level is 80-85%, according to every study I viewed. I found no distinction between "for food or not for food" from over 50 articles.
