DiatomaceousEarth Food Grade, 1 Lb

Wow. I am so impressed with this incredible discovery I cannot believe I just only recently stumbled upon. I ordered this for use in my garden. I personally have not used it internally, but I would do so if I needed to. The aphids, the ants farming the aphids, the grub cutworms, etc etc were absolutely preventing any seedlings to grow!!! I was very, very frustrated because sowing a batch of seeds and watching them prosper is something I thoroughly love! The insects' doing would also allow the weakened seedlings to succumb to damping off ( I am adamant about NOT over watering) Okay anyway, I also am a bit ashamed to admit I was so desperate that I resorted to using se7in dust- which temporarily helped tiny bit. I also tried using my dad's spray style insecticide. Before resorting to these, I had gone and purchased neem oil, it helped on a tiny scale, the neem spray would be helpful on a way smaller problem. **Diatomaceous earth is a white ish powder composed of fossilized 'diatoms' AKA phytoplankton. The particles are sharp like shards of glass, on a microscopic level. When crawling insects with an exoskeleton walk through it, it compromises their exoskeleton and dehydrates their insides. The most important, noteworthy , UNIQUE characteristic that separates Diatomaceous Earth from all of pesticides, is the fact that it's action is MECHANICAL!! NOT chemical!!!! that, in my opinion, is why I consider this to be the most effective AND safest product for my purpose, as well as other purposes. There is no build up of toxins, nothing builds immunity, it's not harmful to pets or humans if walked on. I can dust my garden during the daytime and not worry about the foliage scorching like the chemical type. I don't coat the foliage very heavy though, just incase it could possibly interrupt the plant sunlight action. A little goes a LONG way. Immediately after the first sprinkle, next day I saw improvement. This literally saved an almost dead & deformed pumpkin vine, although it is severely stunted still, it went from the vine being all dried up and chewed up and yellow grey leaves, to GREEN green green! I doubt it will actually end up producing a pumpkin, but I still like the possibility. This has also eliminated the intense fungi damping off , blight diseases, simply because the opportunity for the pathogenic fungi is not occuring without damaged and weakened plants. I could have bought the non food grade label kind, however, I decided why not get the best quality, esp since price is not that high in my opinion. I also would love to mention, I am NOT a know it all, I could be a bit wrong on a few detailed descriptions mentioned, however, I am 100 percent confident to shout from the rooftops THIS IS THE ANSWER! referring to garden and home pests even bedbugs, fleas, fungus gnat larvae. I honestly can't comment on the internal uses, but I am absolutely certain this is quality and could be the answer to anyone needing internal cleansing of parasites. I will ALWAYS have a bag of this product in my stash, it is a staple now and I want to pass along my experience hopefully it will help! I'm not even affiliated with any company btw, and i paid regular price, I AM THIS HAPPY ABOUT IT! I get very enthusiastic about the things I'm beyond impressed with.

Expensive.

One day i went up to my room after work to get into my pjs and almost had a heart attack because my bed and carpet were teeming with ants. I immediately grabbed all my clothes off my bed and bed sheets and threw them all in a hot hot wash. Then i got my diatomaceous earth and sprinkled it aaaallllll over my carpet. I had to cover my face (should always do this!) and scrub it into the carpet. I left it overnight and spent the night in the living room and then vacuumed it up 3x over. There were no ants left. Still have a lot left and i use it for corners and cracks. It works slowly but works well. Great safe product for homes with pets

Had to try it. Get rid of snells. It works. Use very little.

When I use this Diatomaceous earth, I find I don't have joint pain. I sleep better and I feel more uplifted and cheerful. I have noticed, as others have said, my hair has grown exponentially. My finger nails have not, however. Other reviewers claimed that DE helped their nails to grow and not break, chip or peel. I have, sadly, not had that experience. About the bowels cleansing, I have found this to be very true. Some times, within minutes, I have had to run to the bathroom, and unlike before, have had a complete clean out, after drinking the DE with juice and water together. For years, I could not completely clean out. I still use this method when needed, but, generally, I add DE to my yogurt or food. I also give it to our cats when I make their meals. They don't mind it that way, but they did not like it when I put it on their dry food nor in their wet food. My Blue, who gets bogged up a lot, had no problems with going. My 18 year old, Satin, had more energy and Kit seemed more calm. Strange how it affected each of them so differently. We had a problem with sugar and carpenter ants. I sprinkled DE behind our appliances, on our counter top, around the door entrance and under the cabinets in our kitchen. Within a couple of days, except for a single one, I didn't see either species anymore. My husband didn't believe me when I told him DE would get rid of the carpenter ants. He is a believer now! Now that I think of it, I haven't seen the influx of spiders either, which I am very thankful for. My husband and I were getting bit in our sleep. Neither of us has this problem. Must of gotten rid of whatever was biting us, too. I have told all my friends to give DE a try. I even gave some to one of mine. She used it and lost some weight. I like the fact this came in a container rather than a bag, as shown. Delivery was fast. I will continue to buy from this seller.
