Earthborn Elements Diatomaceous Earth (5 Gallon), Resealable Bucket Pure Freshwater Amorphous Silica

I recently purchased Earthborn Elements Diatomaceous Earth to tackle a persistent roach problem in my home, and overall, I am quite pleased with the results. Here’s a breakdown of my experience: #### Effectiveness: ★★★★☆ Earthborn Elements Diatomaceous Earth proved to be quite effective in dealing with the roach infestation. Within a few days of application, I noticed a significant reduction in the number of roaches. It works by damaging the exoskeleton of the insects, leading to dehydration and eventually, death. While it did not completely eradicate the problem, it made a noticeable difference and brought the roach population under control. #### Ease of Use: ★★★★★ Using the diatomaceous earth was straightforward and hassle-free. The product comes in a resealable 1 gallon bucket, which makes it easy to store and keeps it dry. I applied the powder in areas where I noticed roach activity, such as under the sink, along baseboards, and behind appliances. The powder is fine and easy to distribute evenly. A little goes a long way, so the 1 gallon bucket should last for more than a couple of applications. #### Safety: ★★★★☆ One of the primary reasons I chose this product is because it is a natural and non-toxic solution. It’s safe to use around pets and children, which is a huge plus for me. However, I did take precautions to ensure that the powder was not inhaled or ingested, as it can be an irritant. Wearing a mask and gloves during application is recommended. #### Value for Money: ★★★★★ Considering its effectiveness and the quantity provided, Earthborn Elements Diatomaceous Earth offers excellent value for money. It’s a cost-effective solution compared to chemical sprays and traps, and since it lasts long, you won’t need to reapply frequently. #### Versatility: ★★★★★ Beyond roaches, this product is also effective against other pests such as ants, fleas, and bedbugs. I appreciate its versatility, which makes it a handy tool in maintaining a pest-free home. #### Cons: - **Messiness**: Diatomaceous earth can be a bit messy to apply, especially in hard-to-reach areas. It’s important to clean up any excess powder to avoid it being tracked around the house. - **Time to Effectiveness**: Unlike chemical pesticides that kill on contact, diatomaceous earth takes time to show results. Patience is required as it works gradually. #### Conclusion: Earthborn Elements Diatomaceous Earth is a reliable and safe option for controlling roach infestations. Its natural composition and effectiveness make it a worthwhile purchase for anyone looking to manage pests without resorting to harsh chemicals. While it requires careful application and some patience, the benefits far outweigh these minor inconveniences. I would definitely recommend it to others facing similar pest issues.

Great product. I use it everywhere on the farm. Chickens, goats, cows, horses and alpacas. Works for everyone. Great supplier, sent on time.

Hello all! So, I was living with my dad during my college years, and he suddenly gets married and decides to move with his new wife. I would’ve joined back then but I wanted to complete my term in college. So I moved in with the mother. Little did I know, she had 6 cats and the fleas were horrible throughout the year. My stepdad was terrible about not letting the cats out, so they were constantly bringing in the stupid fleas inside. Every night I had a random flea in my bed. Shoot, I couldn’t even use the restroom without those little insects hopping on my legs. It got pretty annoying. Jokingly, I even contemplated poisoning the cats (I didn’t). Anyway, about a year after this experience, my mom decided to move out too but she leaves me the apartment. I was stoked to have these stupid cats out. But the fleas remained. So I did some homework. I found that this stuff supposedly helped and a lot of people had some success. So I bought this gallon. I bought a duster and sprayed down the entire apartment. When they were moving furniture, the movers were wondering why the apartment was so dusty. But I didn’t care, I wanted those little bastards gone. It wasn’t a quick fix. It definitely took some time. I sprayed everything with this stuff. Every corner of the rooms, under everything. It made it easier that my mom basically cleared the apartment. I think I left the dust for about two weeks. When the girlfriend had enough, I finally vacuumed and mopped. (Used a mixture of White Vinegar, Dawn soap and Peppermint oil). After mopping everything twice. There was no flea in sight! It worked!!! For all the negative reviews? Sure, the gallon is a pain to open, but this is still pretty good value. If you’re desperate, this might do the trick for you. And if you decide to consume, drink lots of water.

This product works very well & is safe around house/kitchen/pets I use it in my yard also

So I bought this product after doing a lot of research on products to use for fleas. While my animals are treated with Frontline seems like the summer time they just become our roommates and it's so frustrating. My main thing was looking for something that would WORK in my home! But that was SAFE for my kids and pets! Now, it seems pretty straightforward right? I read reviews and felt prepared to take the leap, it came overnight which was a plus! So when it came I started right away, it was pretty simple as you want to sprinkle around, felt like it couldn't be too difficult. I had to take a break and walk outside after awhile as I was covered in it, but I couldn't really see because of all the powder in the sky, my kids were horrified, my pets thought I was a crazy lady but I kept reminding everyone it was temporary. I left a lot of it laying for awhile before vacuuming up, day one I wasn't really sure if I made the right choice 😂 day two I could definitely feel a difference with the fleas, day 3 seemed to be my day! Could definitely tell the difference from where we started, I put this stuff anywhere I possibly could, the couch, the floors (I mainly have hardwood floors!) the bedrooms, on the dogs! The only place it didn't go, was in my bathroom. So I would say it's been a huge help! I'm hoping if I can get most of them knocked out, bathe and retreat the dogs with Frontline that we will be in a better place! I will come back and update after a couple weeks to see if it still seems to be working! The price wasn't horrible neither (think I paid a little under $30!) so worst comes to worse I may purchase again and do everything over again? I will come back and update 🫶
