Earthborn Elements Diatomaceous Earth (1 Gallon), Resealable Bucket, Pure Freshwater Amorphous Silica

I recently purchased Earthborn Elements Diatomaceous Earth to tackle a persistent roach problem in my home, and overall, I am quite pleased with the results. Here’s a breakdown of my experience:#### Effectiveness: ★★★★☆Earthborn Elements Diatomaceous Earth proved to be quite effective in dealing with the roach infestation. Within a few days of application, I noticed a significant reduction in the number of roaches. It works by damaging the exoskeleton of the insects, leading to dehydration and eventually, death. While it did not completely eradicate the problem, it made a noticeable difference and brought the roach population under control.#### Ease of Use: ★★★★★Using the diatomaceous earth was straightforward and hassle-free. The product comes in a resealable 1 gallon bucket, which makes it easy to store and keeps it dry. I applied the powder in areas where I noticed roach activity, such as under the sink, along baseboards, and behind appliances. The powder is fine and easy to distribute evenly. A little goes a long way, so the 1 gallon bucket should last for more than a couple of applications.#### Safety: ★★★★☆One of the primary reasons I chose this product is because it is a natural and non-toxic solution. It’s safe to use around pets and children, which is a huge plus for me. However, I did take precautions to ensure that the powder was not inhaled or ingested, as it can be an irritant. Wearing a mask and gloves during application is recommended.#### Value for Money: ★★★★★Considering its effectiveness and the quantity provided, Earthborn Elements Diatomaceous Earth offers excellent value for money. It’s a cost-effective solution compared to chemical sprays and traps, and since it lasts long, you won’t need to reapply frequently.#### Versatility: ★★★★★Beyond roaches, this product is also effective against other pests such as ants, fleas, and bedbugs. I appreciate its versatility, which makes it a handy tool in maintaining a pest-free home.#### Cons:- **Messiness**: Diatomaceous earth can be a bit messy to apply, especially in hard-to-reach areas. It’s important to clean up any excess powder to avoid it being tracked around the house.- **Time to Effectiveness**: Unlike chemical pesticides that kill on contact, diatomaceous earth takes time to show results. Patience is required as it works gradually.#### Conclusion:Earthborn Elements Diatomaceous Earth is a reliable and safe option for controlling roach infestations. Its natural composition and effectiveness make it a worthwhile purchase for anyone looking to manage pests without resorting to harsh chemicals. While it requires careful application and some patience, the benefits far outweigh these minor inconveniences. I would definitely recommend it to others facing similar pest issues.

Hello all!So, I was living with my dad during my college years, and he suddenly gets married and decides to move with his new wife. I would’ve joined back then but I wanted to complete my term in college. So I moved in with the mother.Little did I know, she had 6 cats and the fleas were horrible throughout the year. My stepdad was terrible about not letting the cats out, so they were constantly bringing in the stupid fleas inside.Every night I had a random flea in my bed. Shoot, I couldn’t even use the restroom without those little insects hopping on my legs. It got pretty annoying. Jokingly, I even contemplated poisoning the cats (I didn’t).Anyway, about a year after this experience, my mom decided to move out too but she leaves me the apartment. I was stoked to have these stupid cats out. But the fleas remained. So I did some homework.I found that this stuff supposedly helped and a lot of people had some success. So I bought this gallon. I bought a duster and sprayed down the entire apartment. When they were moving furniture, the movers were wondering why the apartment was so dusty. But I didn’t care, I wanted those little bastards gone.It wasn’t a quick fix. It definitely took some time. I sprayed everything with this stuff. Every corner of the rooms, under everything. It made it easier that my mom basically cleared the apartment. I think I left the dust for about two weeks. When the girlfriend had enough, I finally vacuumed and mopped. (Used a mixture of White Vinegar, Dawn soap and Peppermint oil). After mopping everything twice. There was no flea in sight! It worked!!!For all the negative reviews? Sure, the gallon is a pain to open, but this is still pretty good value. If you’re desperate, this might do the trick for you. And if you decide to consume, drink lots of water.

I used for caterpillars and feeding the soil.

So dealing with this...it does its job but gets everywhere!! No little scoop to transfer into a duster pump and i got a bucket full... other than that I was happy with my purchase

This works great for ants…sprinkle around the foundation of your house….you need to do it several times during the summmer as it will wash away with the rain

Back ground: years ago i was given a jar of DE. i have attempted to use it for a few things, never with good results. So consider my review biased.This summer has been rough as our area had a drought... the fleas loved it.we ended up with an infestation. none of my livestock suffered thankfully but i was scrambling to stay ahead of the flea in that regard. In the house with our cats quickly got out of hand.Out of desperation I purchased DE expecting thw low quality i had gotten before, but any and all help at this point...to my delight showed up high quality DE that was easy to spread and will go a long long way!THIS IS SOLD BY VOLUME NOT BY WEIGHTyou are buying a gallon, and you get a gallon. if you want to purchase by weight, buy something else.this quickly helped us get our incest issue in hand.HOWEVER, it is slow acting, but when combined with the other treatments, i can say i am happy.i am currently using this DE in combination with maximum strength foot powder (0.8% menthol) and my flea problem is vanishing more each day.once i have more time i will mix DE with equal parts foot powder, baking soda and salt. and sprinkle the carpets with that mixture and let it sit overnight before vacuuming it up.i will then return to using flea domes for the rest of the season.this de is good stuff.

Works great.
