      Comments about Diatomaceous Earth, 4 Lbs.:

      When I was pregnant w/our first child, our animals became flea-infested, and I did not want chemicals around my growing belly/baby. DE worked PERFECTLY--fleas were gone, house was clean again.

      I sprinkle in my veggie garden, and it keeps earwigs/all "bad" bugs away. Yippee!

        We were having problems with fleas in our backyard and on our dog. We were having a hard time controling them with just the flea products we put on our dog. He still had fleas. So when I saw this product on this site, and the excellent reviews for killing fleas. I decided to try it. It worked! Dog has been flea free since!

          This product handles and feels like baby powder. Wonderful results, even around rabbits. Dusted the rabbits that had fur mites and fleas. Took care of them right away. The fleas are now gone due to spreading it around the house. Just take care not to have it in a windy place when spreading it.

            Used this to get rid of the borers in our cucumber and squash vines. Doesn't work overnight but is depleting the bug population and isn't harmful to our pets.
