Review: Use for bedbugs, create little "moats" by every door - I am using this for treatment of bedbugs. This note will only be of interest to those others who are searching for how to kill bedbugs, There is a bit of learning curve on that battle, but i douse my entire bed every night with this stuff, coating my entire sheet with this stuff, and so i like that it is not poisonous for me to lie on. And i also liberally dust the edges of carpets and entire carpet with it. Currently, every item in my home is white with this stuff at this time, ------until i am 100% sure i have solved bedbug problem. I create 2 inch tall ridges of this powder by every door, ---------to help reduce the chance of bedbugs moving from room to room. Bedbugs will NOT crawl over a pile of this powder, and i leave them no room to go around it. Makes it easier to control their moves. I insert this stuff into every crevice, every outlet, every light-switch plate, Every where. WEAR A GOOD MASK to place this powder down. I fill up my entire bed a few hours prior to sleeping in bed, so that the dust can settle to reduce my risk of inhaling this dust. This dust does take a while to settle back down, so leave that room until the dust settles down. I bought a duster to puff this stuff all over my room. To refill the duster, it is easier to dip the duster into this large bag, than it is to try to pour this powder INTO the duster. I also use mitten clips to hold my bedspread from touching floor, just in case. I spray entire bedframe and used double sticky tape as well as slippery tape around wherever my bedframe touches the floor. These bugs can not climb up anything too slippery. IT is a lot of work to fight these bugs. I wash all my bedding daily, and just toss bedspread into dryer x 30 minutes every day. I keep all clothing in clear recycle bags, so i can see what clothes are in which bags. It is a lot of work to fight these bugs. I also very carefully pat this dust onto my face prior to going to sleep,(i bought a powder puff for that reason, but this must be done so carefully so you don't inhale powder) and i put this on my whole body., to repel the bugs and if they DO come on me they will die from that powder getting on to them. This diatomaceous earth powder is very drying to my skin, but, it is worth it to me at this stage of the battle. I will win! Even just placing the powder down on your bed, and sofa or in your room, or even just sleeping in a bed full of this powder, --------somehow can give you enough absorbed into your stomach that you can end up having a slight laxative effect, (although i did not ever eat any of the powder.) SEems to be working to control bugs, as one part of a multi-pronged approach, i am also using Bedlam spray, and Cyonara insecticide, mattress bags, heated my car up outside x 8 hours every day, and i plan to also heat my bedroom with heaters x 8 hours per day x 5 days. I will win. I can not reach the recommended hot temp of 120 to kill the bedbugs in an hour, but, if you just heat the room for many many hours? Like 8 hours, you can kill them, even at lower heat. I place the heaters on upside down metal cake pans, to hold heater up off of carpetting, and to prevent the hot pan from scorching my carpet? ----i place the cake pans on top of silicone cookie sheets, and i have a fire extinguisher at the ready, as well. i will win.
Review: LOVE THIS PRODUCT! - We love this product! This is our second time purchasing this product, and I am so happy I chose to get the larger size stack this time. We personally use this product for pest control. We have cats that bring fleas, and we get a lot of ants. From the research I did I was able to determine that this product drives out the skeletal systems of small insects. I am able to slather my cat in it to kill fleas. They indoor only so I’m really not sure how they are getting on them, but just know that this product works. it is safe for indoor with children babies and pets, you can use it around the perimeter if you are not expecting rain anytime soon. The only recommendation that I read was not being inhaled because respiratory issues. You just leave it on the carpet for a few days and then vacuum up. The only downside to its use is the fact that it has to sit for a few days in order to do its job. Honestly, this is the cheapest form of pest control ever used and it has worked the best. The last bag I ordered was about half the size of this one and it lasted me for two years. I got the 5 pound bag this time and I’m thinking that it will last me probably four years. Definitely recommend purchasing this if you have insects in your home. Shipping was quick and the seller was wonderful to work with!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The real deal, and SO many awesome uses.
*by I***G on November 19, 2018*

Good texture and quality insofar as I can tell. I like the amount and value for the price, it shipped fast, and has so many applications. I put it in my morning smoothies because it binds to heavy metals, pesticides, and other toxicity and flushes it right out of your system. It's basically the cheapest overall health supplement there is, and replenishes key trace minerals that are essential for many body functions as well as the proper absorption of calcium. I feel a difference in using it daily. I've also been adding it to my cats' food since they were 5 weeks old. Now they are 3, and (along with organic turmeric powder and ghee) I have never had to bring them to the vet for anything but their annual checkups. The great thing about DE is that it's flavorless and blends right into most things and won't even notice it's there. It's also an awesome: super-gentle facial exfoliant and base for homemade deoderants and toothpastes, either with or instead of baking soda. I like it better in deoderant because it sinks right into your skin and doesn't leave a gritty feel or white mess under your clothes. It also sets better if you want to use stick application rather than jars. In addition, it makes a great translucent powder to set makeup and absorb excess oil- or if you want to mix it with cocoa powder, a bronzer. Just use a light touch and layer it on. If you wear it too thick, it will cake, crease, and turn white on your skin. But that's not a problem with a good brush and attention to what you're doing. :)
