Right now, my vegetable garden is gearing up for summer, and I’ve been dealing with ants and other annoying pests crawling all over my bell peppers and dahlias.

I had carpenter bees and carpenter ants attacking my shed... Have paid for multiple pest control companies to address the problem over the past 3 years but the bees always return. I bought this food grade diatomaceous earth last week and dusted the wood around the base of my shed and literally watched the bees try to land and get into the wood and they refused to touch the wood! One landed for a minute and then flew off and others just flew around looking for an untreated area to crawl into. They finally gave up and flew away!! IThis never happens - they usually land and crawl right up behind the wood into their tunnels without hesitation. I'm Shocked at how effective this stuff is!!! Very happy with my purchase ! Highly recommend this product.

after some research, i paired this with neem oil and ant bait stakes to try and get rid of ants in my indoor house plants. and it killed all of my ants within a week or two, this was a huge savior for my plants. not totally sure which thing killed all my ants, but a combo of these 3 did the trick perfectly worth the price to get all 3. i only used a little bit to kill the ant in several plants, so this will certianly last a long time if used in a similar way. it was super easy to use, just squeeze and the powder fluff out, pretty satisfying. its not very noticable after a day and is great for your plants, would highly reccomend!

Bought this for pest control seems to be doing a good job since I haven’t seen any crickets or cockroaches in my backyard or home. The tip was a bit frustrating to use as it comes too little with the nozzle or too much taking the tip off. This application I would recommend getting an diatomeceous earth applicator. Overall pretty good value for the money.

Best thing for killing hard shelled creepy crawlies. Ants, roaches, beetles. Anything with an exoskeleton. Is not immediate but still quick. And safe around pets.

How I’ve gone so long without knowing about this product is staggering. Extends the life of food staples for storage. Is a pest control dream and is so worth the cost it’s not funny. Get this product. You’ll be glad you did

This was a reasonably priced version of this product. I have used similar products before with good results. The fact that it is a non toxic way to get rid of roaches or other insects is ideal. I needed to apply some in our master bathroom, specifically in some cracking tile grout where I noticed some baby roaches were hiding (ewwwwwwwwww) and didn't want to use toxic substances in there. I had manually killed a few babies over the course of a few weeks prior that I horrifyingly witnessed venturing out of that crack. I really DID NOT WANT them to grow into adults as I have an unnatural fear of roaches since childhood. I have no idea how many babies are in one roach egg... and I don't want to know. I found this product very difficult to apply, but it is probably just the nature of powders. I wore a mask so I wouldn't breathe it in because even though it is not toxic, any powders going into your lungs is a bad idea. I found that I either couldn't be sure it was coming out at all OR I had an excessive amount pour out. Perhaps a better solution is to pour a bit into a small cup/plate and use a small paint brush or an old, spare make up brush to apply. I ended up dumping large amounts out, wasting quite a bit of product, and smearing it into the places needed with my hands (less than ideal). I tried to get it in all the cracked areas and then went around the bathroom floor boards and behind the toilet for good measure. I also put some in the corners of my Master bedroom and along 2 sets of sliders in two rooms, where there are definitely some entry points. The heavy rains in the summer drive insects to seek dry shelter in our home we notice. Although we do get monthly outdoor pest control service on the exterior of the home, it isn't always enough. It is hard for me to know for sure if this product has worked because I haven't found any dead insects, but I also have not seen any live ones since-- a positive in my book. The babies may have died behind the tile, and while not ideal, is better than them being alive and growing into big nasty roaches. I prefer to pretend they walked in the powder and went outside in the yard to die. I know we do still need to seal up the shower cracks, but it will take a lot of time and money to do it right. Curse the previous owners who used thick sandy grout lines! I will be coming up with an ad hoc solution in the meantime. If you have never tried a product like this before, I recommend giving it a shot. I will update my review if I see roaches rolling around in this powder and laughing at me in defiance. Until then, I am assuming it is working as intended.

easy application and works well. Does not kill immediately but it isnt meant to. Slowly kills and deters insects from that area. We are pretty humid here and it needs to be dry for it to work best but it does work very well.

It got rid of the earwigs that were in my shed

Effective physical insect control. Has dramatically decreased the number of insects in indoor areas where I used it to line entrypoints. Apparently it's non-toxic, so I definitely prefer it over insecticides. But it's more a preventative/supplemental measure than a solution. For something like ant infestations, I'd suggest you use it in conjunction with ant bait (don't pour this around the bait though, you want those ants to live). It comes out like baking powder. I just poured a little in the desired areas then spread it using a small brush. The included spout isn't convenient for larger areas, so I'd suggest something like a bulb duster instead for that. You're apparently only supposed to apply a very thin layer to flat surfaces, because if you can clearly see it then the insects can definitely see it and will avoid it. Not that effective outdoors as rain will wash it away.
