Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Diatomaceous Earth 12oz Shaker
Customer Review: A M A Z I N G Stuff!
Summary: 5 Stars
My first attempt at a container garden. I raised the plants from seeds (which I have never done before) and they grew!! So you can imagine my heart-break when I put them out only to find them almost gone overnight :( Peppers, broccoli and my beans too, almost all gone.... It wasn't until I caught them (the pests) in the act did I know what was eating my plants. The varmints were what looked like snails but no shells. I read about this stuff and tried it on the dirt of the plants being eaten..... It worked, it really worked. The plants started growing new growth and are doing fantastic now. It can't hurt for you to try it. Not sure what other pests it works on, but it worked on the slugs and worms.Customer Review: Yes, HOLD YOUR BREATH ! ! !

Can't beat it for natural. JUST BE VERY CAREFUL, FELLOW BUYERS, TO NOT INHALE ANY OF THE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH WHILE DUSTING ONTO SURFACES.
The MICROSCOPIC SHELLS OF THE ORGANISMS that works so great to cut the exoskeleton of the dust mites, is not so great IN YOUR LINING OF YOUR LUNGS. They are made of the same hard stuff as oyster shells so YOUR BODY CANNOT break them down.
**** so, take a deep breathe, hold it, THEN, sprinkle! **** Hum-m-m, now for the cat and the dog :) !
As long as you practice this, you will be the healthier for using it!
Customer Review: Effective and non toxic
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had trouble with water bugs and cockroaches in my bathroom. I
used one of the electric plug in devices and got rid of most of them, but
I kept noticing a few still around. I spread some powder around with a spoon and then spread it out thin with a paper towel. Thankfully the bugs (including giant water bugs) disappeared. I'll be glad for the
shaker as it will make applying it easier. As I have cats, it's nice to have something non toxic to apply. I had to get used to little white
paw marks around the house though. My cats didn't seem to mind it at all.
Customer Review: Diatomaceous Earth Shaker
Summary: 5 Stars
This product was received as promised and well packaged so that it would not be damaged. I could not have used this fine powder without the shaker and recommend you get it for ease of spreading as the powder is very fine. Also, heed the warning and use an appropriate mask when using it.
It seems to work well so I am pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend product and manufacturer if you're looking to buy it. I can say that I am not disappointed.
Customer Review: It works!
Summary: 5 Stars
Three days after dusting the house with this we're finding all sorts of insects we didn't know lived in the house! We keep finding them dessicated and dry. This stuff really works and the great thing about it is that it's safe. I wouldn't give it to my dog orally though, human food grade brands may be safer? All in all I'm very pleased with this, it's great to be able to use chemical free pest control.
