Great product
I looked after someone’s dog and they didn’t tell me their dog had fleas.Needless to say, I was very p’d off when I found fleas crawling over and biting me. I read about diatomaceous earth and bought a bag. It vaccuumed the carpet first, then sprinkled powder and just let it lay for about 7 days, did the same for a month and can honestly say, it did it’s job. Only negative is that it made everything else extremely dusty but fantastic value for money and contains no harsh chemicals so safe to use if you pets in the house.I’ve already ordered another bag so I have it if ever it’s needed again.Product has so many other benefits too

Much more cost effective and only marginally less convenient than a pricey 'Frontline' or 'Advantage' flea control subscription
I keep a little bit of this in an old ashtray by the sofa. The cats soon got used to me brushing in a little bit between their shoulders and towards their tail every once in a while or else whenever I see them 'twitching' and nibbling at their rumps; their usual sign of fleas. I was skeptical at first; it perhaps takes a little longer with perhaps two or three applications, it's hard to say. The only advantage I see with the chemical approach (Frontline/Advantage) is that it's a handy one shot fix. The disadvantages are that those are pretty potent insecticides to apply directly to your feline and introduce into your home; I feel I must take care not to ruffle them behind the ears once treated and worry about children getting the chemicals on their hands and in their mouths afterwards - The cats hate the wet sensation of those Spot-on solutions on their necks and so instantly struggle and/or flee. Also, at £4-£6 a month for each of my two cats that soon adds up to around £120/year;ADVANTAGES - of Diatomaceous Earth: I brush a couple of generous pinches into them with a grooming brush whenever I see one of them get twitchy and they love it - one cat loves rolling in garden dust anyway so it's never an issue for her - No worries about insecticides and I can still ruffle their necks - You can sprinkle the dust on the carpets and sleeping areas instead of using insecticide. I can't vouch for that myself but farmers use it in hen coups, grain silos and such like... messy though but it hoovers up - Cheap cheap cheap; this bag's going to last at least a year! I'm pretty sure this is why its reserved for the farming industry and not promoted in pet shops; where's the profit in it!DISADVANTAGES : Perhaps not a one shot fix; I brush in a good pinch of earth every two or three days until the fleas are gone; about a week - It can get everywhere if you're not careful; not a problem really since it hoovers up easily or else, brushed in and left where it falls for a while, continues to act on any residual larvae (carpet moths and bedbugs too!).

Flea/ dust mites gone!
4 stars only because the package burst and went everywhere in the box before I even got itOverall Very happy about this, it worked in a few hours I was dust mite / flea freee. Definitely worth it and the size is a good moneys worth.I would recommend when using to sweep with a brush first before hoovering as it will mess up the filter your hoover.

Good against mites but dusty 🖖
So it seems to work well against finch and caged birds mites...it killed some mites straight away...it is though dusty, even if sprinkled finely (I used a makeup brush, and put the thing very finely) .... so there is some dust in the air....Amdln, there is a good quantity in the nag which is great 👍. The bag in which was sent was though very dusty and messy, so we had to move the powder into something more friendly, to be kept in the home safely...😏Did not used directly on the bird as I was a bit scared...finches are really tiny and I was scared them to not make any irritations...🫶

Natural Flea Killer
I decided to use this to help sort a very unwelcome flea problem in my house. I wanted to try to use a more natural approach. I had read reviews and also that it can make a mess which didn’t bother me as my objective was to get rid of the pesky fleas.If arrived in a plastic bag and as a result was tricky to transfer into the container not to mention, dusty. I tried using a funnel to get it into my container but it clogged up so wouldn’t flow through so that was a dead end. Once transferred into my homemade sprinkler container it was easy enough to sprinkle onto the carpets but boy what a mess! I wasn’t all that bothered as I just wanted the damn fleas gone.Unfortunately hoovering the mess was the real issue for me and there was so much mess that my Hoover filter (Dyson) kept clogging up with it. I had to wash the filter and carry on but it clogged again with it. It was all over the hoover inside the tubes and all over. The extra effort of cleaning the hoover then waiting days for the filter to dry only to have it clog up again was too much. (On top of fighting the fleas)I won’t be using it again for that purpose but I’m sure it’s good when used for one of its other purposes.

Badly sealed bag
Badly sealed bag with just a cable tie. Powder all over the bag and inside the cardboard box . Looks like it’s being packed at the back of a garage . Shoddy work.If you buy any be ready to have a surprise when you open the box
