> 3 dayI purchased this item for my chickens. I enjoy the little poofer that it came with. It really makes it easy to distribute the product quickly and in targeted areas. I feel like this also uses less of the product, and I would order again once the supply runs out.

> 3 dayMy house was infested with fleas and my pets do not go out side at all. I used this all through my house and it took about 48 hours and they were gone. applied it again about 5 days later as some baby fleas were showing up and I left it down for 3 days. That was a few weeks now and there are no fleas.. Awesome stuff.

Greater than one weekThis stuff works! I live in an older house. Its full of spiders. Mostly brown recluse. Ive tried everything to get rid of them aside from calling an exterminator. I wanted something safe to use because I have a cat. So I tried DE. I havent seen any spiders since I put it down. Earwigs seem to be an issue this year. DE dont kill them but they dont like it. Also the ant invasion on my back porch is almost gone. No beetles, no stink bugs, no snails sliming up my front door! Im telling you bugs wont cross it. Dont be too heavy applying it inside the house. A light dusting is enough. Otherwise you will have a mess thats hard to clean up. Outside will have to be reapplied after it rains.

> 3 dayWas able to use garden duster by sealing the crack with my finger. Have since glued it with a flexible clear adhesive. Will have to see if duster works now. Dusted a few fire ant mounds, and after more than 48 hours, they still are popping out when the mound is disturbed. Will try to greatly disturb the mound and dust the swarm, that way they drag it back in with them and hopefully contaminate others.

> 3 dayBought this in the past. Love it to death. You will see dead bugs all over, noticeably works. My only issue, the applicator is cracked so the nozzle doesnt shot it out right. I specifically bought this one for the applicator bottle so I can stop throwing clumps by hands and manually spending it. Plus its supposed to help get in tight places.

> 3 dayDiatomaceous earth really helps to reduce the number of bugs in my space, and the duster included with this bag is really helpful for spreading it around indoors without creating a ton of visually obvious powder areas. You can puff it onto white walls and ceilings, and it’s basically not noticeable. I’d been putting diatomaceous earth on carpets and other places around baseboards and under furniture, too, which could look a little poor in some areas, but the duster included here helps me to diffuse more discreetly, and I even put a very thin layer over most of the open carpet area in my room that’s not really visible. Diatomaceous earth isn’t a 100% fail-proof solution all by itself, particularly for sugar ants (I recommend Terro and always keeping all foods well-sealed) and gnats/fruit flies (red wine vinegar and soap, fly paper, keeping the area clean), but it does seem to be one of the very best tools in my arsenal against insects. In combination, diatomaceous earth, sealing door and window gaps, Terro traps, a fly paper trap, and a vinegar, sugar, water, and soap trap when necessary seem to take care of 90-95% of bugs in my otherwise fairly vulnerable faux-studio bedroom space, and I reckon that diatomaceous earth does about 50% of the work. It seems to be particularly effective against spiders, thank god. Fortunately, I haven’t had much of an issue with houseflies, but I would guess that it would be somewhat effective for them, too, if you’re willing to diffuse it onto walls and window sills. Unless, I accidentally drop a large amount on the carpet or something, I don’t really vacuum this up or anything; I just apply every 6-12 months over as many surfaces as I feel I reasonably can, and I’m willing to accept a slight white cast or occasional white spots on surfaces and the risk of some minor skin irritation (not that I’ve really noticed any, apart from applying the product by hand) over having a lot of bugs in my space. I didn’t really use a mask or anything the first couple times I applied this stuff everywhere, which is probably really stupid of me as it’s not great for your lungs, so please take caution in that regard. My hope is that once it’s out of the air/settled, it’s not much of a lung health risk even if applied over a huge number of surfaces in a space, but it is a potential risk to be aware of.
