HARRIS8 oz Diatomaceous Earth Crawling Insect Killer — 100% Natural Dust for Ants, Roaches, Bed Bugs, Fleas — Indoor & Outdoor Use

I am absolutely TERRIFIED of bugs, and I’ve tried every natural option I could find. This Harris Diatomaceous Earth is now my go-to because it’s safe to use around pets (huge win as a dog owner) and it’s the first thing that’s been 100% effective without harsh chemicals.How It WorksThis isn’t an instant kill like chemical sprays, and it doesn’t repel insects from entering. Instead, once bugs come into contact with it, they don’t stick around for long. I’ve seen ants, roaches, and even centipedes disappear after applying a thin layer. It takes a little patience, but the results are consistent.Best Tips• Sprinkle a thin layer along outside the front and back doors, baseboards, under sinks, or near appliances• Keep it dry (moisture stops it from working)• I move my dog out of the room while applying and use a light hand to keep dust down.What could be better:The container tip clogs often. A quick tap on a hard surface clears it, but it can be frustrating. It’s also a fine powder, so it can get dusty (a mask or gentle application helps)Bottom LineIf you’re like me and want something natural, effective, and safe for pets, this is it. The packaging could be improved, but the peace of mind is priceless.

As much as I love my home, I absolutely do not love uninvited insect guests. After trying various sprays and traps, I decided to go a more natural route and try Harris Diatomaceous Earth Crawling Insect Killer, and I'm so glad I did!This 8oz container is surprisingly mighty. I've used it for a range of pests – from those sneaky ants that try to invade the kitchen to the occasional spider. What I love about DE is that it's a non-toxic way to deal with insects. You just sprinkle a fine layer where you see activity (or where you suspect they're entering), and it works by dehydrating them. It's not an instant kill like a chemical spray, but it's incredibly effective over a short period.I've used it along baseboards, under sinks, and even lightly dusted pet bedding for fleas (after ensuring it's food-grade, which this is!). It's a bit dusty when applying, so a mask is a good idea, but the peace of mind knowing it's a natural solution is worth it. Plus, it's long-lasting as long as it stays dry.If you're looking for an effective, natural, and non-toxic way to combat roaches, fleas, ants, bed bugs, and other crawling insects without harsh chemicals, this Harris Diatomaceous Earth is a total game-changer. It's become my go-to for keeping my home bug-free!

Gave it 5 stars as this product works dry or slurry. Worked within minutes on small black ant pile and carpenter ants. Haven’t seen another ant hill.

DTE is a mixed bag. If you blast a cockroach with DTE, it will be very unhappy and it will eventually die even if it only touches or eats some DTE. But it won’t die right away, and it won’t repel any of these pests on its own. I think it’s best used in combination with other bug repellents, poisons, and traps to increase their effectiveness, e.g. on bait in a trap so that even if the bug gets away, the DTE will kill it.You have to snip the tip of the bottle to use it, and depending on how big a hole you make, the tip can sometimes get clogged, but just smacking the bottle on a hard surface will unclog it.

I have tried seriously everything to get rid of ants. Nothing worked. I needed something that is safe for my cat and works. A friend recommended this and let me tell you. It works fast and is amazing. Safe for animals and people. Haven’t had an ant problem since!

3 stars bc idk!!! I need help. I poured this all over my bathroom bc I was getting numerous centipedes (barffff) running passed my feet while I was peeing. So inpoured this in front, behind, and all over the border of my bathroom. 1 week later I noticed a pile of idk WTH!!! It looks like little baby pebbles or ashes in a mound behind and in front of my toilet! So WTH is this now? And why isn’t this working? Like this is brand new! Someone please tell me what I’m dealing with. I’m female hate creepy crawlers more than u can imagine and no man around. Please help! Do I need an exterminator and for what????? That white powder is this item. I put it there last week and there was no mound! I’m freaking out! Front of toilet and back? Thought it was dirt, then I saw the mound behind the toilet much bigger. I’m freaking!!! Please tell me this isn’t a centipede nest!?!?

The roaches leave quickly! I just moved into an older building that has the usual bug issues. Fortunately, maintenance uses THIS and put out glue traps. After the first few days of application, I saw a bunch of coffee ground looking droppings, assorted wings and legs and a few stragglers crawling behind the fridge. Saw them moving slowly, A good thing! Let them die a slow death so their friends & family could catch on & inhale this awesome treatment. I cleaned & disinfected and after one month, have only seen a few. If you live in an old building, stuff the holes, spray Lemon Grass & Clove oil, clean, use this & glue traps and call it good.Thanks very much!

This formula is my latest attempt to stop those unwanted bugs that crawl and fly by. The sprays are not always effective and these pests do not belong in high rise buildings.
