## Questions & Answers

**Q: I used a hand-made shaker last time.  Is it worth the extra $ to get the powder duster?**
A: The duster is worth buying as it keeps the super fine powder from making a huge mess. No, Amazon is not paying me for the patronage. Just good word of mouth folks.

**Q: does it kill  bedbugs and  fleas ?**
A: This product did not help with cat fleas in our house (Ctenocephalides felis).  This product really should only be used outside the home.  I tried Diatomaceous earth in our house and it became a dust problem that I had to vacuum up and clean out of our various filters.  Cat fleas are a bit harder to get rid of than regular fleas.  If your problem is cat fleas, I recommend instead BASF 671858 PT Ultracide Pressurized Flea Insecticide, 20oz.

**Q: Do you dust it on the Flowers or just on the Leaves and around the ground?**
A: Dust 'VERY LIGHTLY' on plant leaves....flowers not necessary....and at the bases of the plants on the main stems....for ants, dust their ant trail for several feet.....works great! Try to leave it for a day or two without getting watering or getting the powder wet.

**Q: So this helps with all roaches?**
A: Read on this page under 'Our Story' and it tells you how they got rid of cock roaches and water bugs at the white house in 1924.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works well!
*by J***N on January 23, 2026*

This stuff is a darned mess, but it worked. No fleas on the carpet or furniture. Do NOT use this directly on your cat or dog.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not toxic to mammals, cheap, and nary a roach to be seen!
*by L***L on April 14, 2021*

WARNING: graphic depictions of roach infestation. (But a happy ending!) "Diatomaceous earth powder is abrasive, and breaks down the waxy layer of the cockroach’s hard exoskeleton, killing it through dehydration. When they walk through diatomaceous earth, roaches carry away some of the DE that clings to the tiny hairs on their legs. They typically die later, back at their nest." I was skeptical. We had a really bad roach problem in our building. REALLY bad. They were in the apartments, the laundry room, the lobby, the hallways... The HOA is too cheap to provide any pest control, and just tells us tenants to pay for it out of pocket. I priced exterminators, and they were expensive- and with the magnitude of our infestation, would be REALLY expensive. It was time to DIY the roach battle. I have two cats, and like to avoid toxins as much as I can, so I wasn't about to set off insecticide bombs that leave a poisonous residue. I searched for an alternative answer to use to fight the infestation, and read that diatomaceous earth is effective at banishing roaches. This product, Harris Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth, got good reviews, and was really inexpensive, so I ordered a bag. Diatomaceous earth has the consistency and appearance of whole-wheat flour. It's not good to inhale it, so I wore a particle mask and put the cats in a different closed room when I treated the apartment with it. (But if the cats ran through it and licked their paws, it would not poison them.) The accordion-squeeze-thing-with-the-spout applicator bottle (included with the diatomaceous earth) made it easy (and actually fun) to distribute the earth. I squirted it everywhere- under all the sinks, along all the baseboards, under the bed, in the closets, behind the refrigerator and the stove- I applied it the way a priest would throw holy water around in a severely haunted house. (In hindsight, I probably used too much, because the problem was as bad as it was. You can apply just a dusting of it, and they will walk through it, and that will be enough. I re-apply just a very light amount about once a month.) And- sorry to be graphic- the roach problem was-- bad. As in they were crawling across the ceiling above your head in broad daylight bad. As in finding six of them drowned in the cat's water bowl in the morning bad. As in don't turn your back on your sandwich bad- or leave your coffee alone for too long bad. :/ This was even with us putting all the food away immediately, making sure the garbage can was always completely sealed, wiping all of the surfaces in the kitchen down constantly, getting the cat food bowls off of the floor immediately after they were done eating, and vacuuming constantly for crumbs. It didn't matter; they were positively everywhere. They had set up shop in this building (and especially, it seemed, in our apartment) and weren't going anywhere. I admit- the problem was so bad, I had my doubts that anything would clear it up. Maybe a constant bombardment of every surface by gamma or cosmic rays, something like that, might help. A substance that resembled flour didn't appear to be capable of an being effective weapon, let alone a lethal one. I did watch "what happens to roaches when they encounter diatomaceous earth" videos on YouTube, which were reassuring. But when they are crawling all over the place, you want something immediate. I did have a spray can of essential-oil based pet safe roach killer I attacked them constantly with, so that helped make it feel like something was killing them right away. I shouldn't have worried. After about three or four days- we started to notice that there weren't so many roaches around. (Again- this was after an infestation so bad it seemed like the roaches had rented the apartment- not us.) Every hour, and especially every day, there were fewer and fewer roaches, until it got to the point where we weren't seeing them at all. If you opened a cabinet, you might see one skitter away, or one would run across the kitchen floor. That was within the first three or four days after treatment. But they no longer "decorated" the walls and ceilings, or crawled across your feet as you sat working (yeah- it was that bad.) First only one in the morning, then none, and no more, was found drowned in the cat water bowl. Slowly but surely, the DT was working its silent magic. Every now and then I would apply a fresh squirt of DT using the handy-dandy squeezebox applicator- around the refrigerator and stove, along the baseboards in the kitchen. But I really didn't need to. Within a week, maybe nine days at most- they were ALL COMPLETELY GONE. Nada. Zilch. Oh-nay oches-ray. It was amazing! It all felt too suspiciously easy, and too good to be true, we thought. There must be some secret bivouac full of them somewhere, silently plotting their revenge, biding their time until they flooded the apartment triumphantly with their squadrons once more. But no- they were really and truly gone. (Oh, I know they are still around somewhere- probably every apartment building has some level of roach population. But the roaches in THIS building have come to learn that, unless they are wearing tiny hazmat suits, this is a completely hostile environment for them, and it WILL kill them. ) This bag of white flour-like stuff was one of the best investments we have ever made in terms of value for money. It would have cost a fortune to get an exterminator in here, for what would have needed to be multiple visits in a month, repeating for months. Instead- a sprinkle of (magic!) Harris' powder- and the vermin are no more. This product is, needless to say, HIGHLY recommended! By the way- it's been months since I treated the apartment with the earth, and the roaches are STILL gone. Also, the bag is still over half-full, and the amount I use once a month as a reinforcement sprinkle is negligible. Talk about economical! It's such a blessing to know this stuff works- that we have a reliable weapon in the roach wars- especially when it felt we were never going to be rid of those disgusting critters. We are, and remain, happily roach-free. :)
