Diatomaceous Earth 12oz Shaker Review

Diatomaceous Earth 12oz Shaker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We had a lot of cockroaches. A lot. It was disgusting. Apparently, they were in the walls, and other condos had problems with them as well. We started out only lightly dusting the Diatomaceous Earth through the kitchen, which is where the biggest problem was. A few weeks went by, and no doubt, some of them were dead. You can tell they were dehydrated. At one point, my boyfriend saw one of them stumbling as if it were drunk, covered in white powder. I knew it was working. We had to sweep them away constantly. But, did they all die? No. We started sprinkling more and more. At one point, the little kitchen was covered in white.
It's very eco-friendly, which is why I tried it. The dog and cat didn't go near it, but it didn't affect them. My boyfriend, who has severe allergies, wasn't affected by it as well. But, some of those suckers wouldn't die! Maybe the other reviewers didn't have as bad as a problem as we did. But, once we moved out (we didn't move out because of the cockroaches, but they did help) and we took away all of the food and moisture, they were pretty much gone.
So yes, it did work. I still have some. It lasts a long time. If I see some in our new place, I will no doubt use it again. Maybe our problem was just too big for this powder.

D.E is?completely harmless to all animals, fish,?birds or in food.?This makes D.E.

I could not live with out SLA. It is a cedar scented spray that keeps moths out of closets, bugs out of house and when you spray it on your clothing (it will not stain) it deodorizes them plus giving your clothing
a fresh scent. It keeps moths out of sweaters and all clothing.
I cannot say enough about SLA. It is the best!!!!!

Concern Diatomaceous Earth Crawling Insect Killer Review

Concern Diatomaceous Earth Crawling Insect Killer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Living in Northern Illinois we have problems with lots of insects during the summer months, (specifically ants and earwigs). My husband and I do not have children or pets and together we keep a very clean house. When I first started noticing ants, earwigs, spiders, etc, I tried products from local hardware and home improvement stores and noticed minimal results. Then I went to a costly, professional pest control service and noticed slightly better results, however I still had bugs in my house on a regular basis. I decided to research other pest control methods and stumbled across diatomaceous earth and how it controls pests organically. I read about the positive results people had experienced using it for pest control and how the bugs can't develop a resistance to it. My understanding about the way it works is when the bug gets the powder on itself, the powder actually scrapes the bugs and they end up dying from dehydration. (Similar to a human walking through glass.) (I know it's kind of gross...) Anyway, I decided to give it a try and am very happy that I did. Practically overnight my husband and I stopped seeing earwigs and other bugs in the house. We were simply amazed with the quick results and, since this is organic, we were very happy that we were no longer being exposed to chemicals. I have a few potted plants outside and was so frustrated that they were dying despite regular watering, sunlight and use of a top-grade fertilizer. One night I noticed an earwig crawling around the rim of the pot and wondered if they were the cause for my plants doing so poorly. I decided to put some diatomaceous earth around the top of the pots, (in the dirt), as well as the base of the pots and could not believe how quickly they all perked up. I have to say that these plants have tripled in size since the addition of the diatomaceous earth. I have never had blooming plants look as terrific as these do.
The only drawback to this product is that it must be reapplied after being rained on, but it's a small price to pay to have a bug-free home and beautiful plants. A co-worker of mine kept complaining about ants in her house, (she has kids and pets), and said she's done everything she can think of, (bleaching, chemicals, extra cleaning, covering pet food, etc), but still had ants. I told her about the diatomaceous earth, how it's organic and how I was impressed with the results. She purchased this same product, (Concern diatomaceous earth), and could not believe how quickly it stopped the ants from coming into her house. She has not seen even one ant in her house since a day or so after she put the diatomaceous earth around the perimiter of her house. I would highly, highly recommend this product to anyone who has problems with bugs in their home, in their potted plants or garden.

Orange Guard 103 Water Based Indoor/Outdoor Home Pest Control - 32 oz Spray Review

Orange Guard 103 Water Based Indoor/Outdoor Home Pest Control - 32 oz Spray
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Orange Guard really works. It's fantastic for not just killing those bugs when they appear but I have used it around my kitchen sink and on the counter tops (without fear of the chemicals being around the food I eat) when I had an ant problem. Within a couple of days, the ants were gone for good. I have also successfully used it on roaches, spiders and crickets. It has a great citrus scent that almost wants to make you use it for air freshener (just kidding, but it does smell good!)
I haven't used it outside, though, so I can't say how well it works there.

J.T. Eaton 203 Bedbugs and Crawling Insects Killing Powder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It works, but you have to keep setting the powder along with another type of pesticide and it takes time for the powder to work. It works a lot better in areas made of wood. Also, the bed bugs don't die immediately. Like I said, it takes time (period of days for it to work). Put a bed bug in a jar with this stuff and just pay attention over the course of hours or days to try and figure out how long it takes to kill the bed bug.

St. Gabriel Laboratories All Natural Indoor/Outdoor Insect Dust Repellent - 4.4 lb Bag 50020-7 Review

St. Gabriel Laboratories All Natural Indoor/Outdoor Insect Dust Repellent - 4.4 lb Bag 50020-7
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is wonderful to prevent fleas. We have been using it around our dogs pen, in the pen and in our home. We didn't have a flea problem inside to begin with but we are using it to prevent that. Our dog was bringing in at least 6 fleas every day. We started putting it on the dog and it almost totally keeps the fleas from getting on her which is no small feat. Our house is surrounded by woods and she stays outside most of the day. It is also OK if she ends up eating some of it because it's safe. They actually use it to deworm animals anyway. One of the drawbacks is that diatomaceous earth dries out skin. We haven't had any issues with it yet but we're always watching.
We have also used it on our rose buds and blooms. We dust it right onto the roses. Japanese beetles and June bugs were eating them up but sense we started using the diatomaceous earth, I haven't found but one or two. The roses are much healthier now.
The only drawback is that after a rain or heavy dew, you have to reapply the dust. Also, if you plan to use it on or around your animals, it needs to be food grade.

Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade 5 Lb Review

Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade 5 Lb
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I used DE in my home becuase of bedbugs. It has been about a month and i havent seen one since. I reccommend food grade DE as a safer non-toxic pesticide. In the home, left undisturbed it should work for months, I have never used this outside.
I reccommend buying a specific pump to be used with DE and also a face mask for application.
If you have bedbugs, first get treated by a professional and then use DE as a preventative. Ask how to apply for maximum effectiveness (yes this works if done correctly). Also visit bedbug websites to learn more.

Although this unit will not perform like the crank models that cost 3 times as much...it will be fine for smaller area applications like roses or potato patches, etc. ...just expect to do some shaking of the unit while pumping in order to keep the duster primed. The large fill mouth is a real plus! I am not much of a plastic fan, but this unit feels stout and it will not corrode like the old tin units used to.

This product is not only effective but also convenient. There's no more mixing horticultural oil and other home remedies that clog sprayers and leave messy residue. I tried it on some indoor tropicals for mealybugs where home remedies failed. It worked in one application. Drips clean up easily and there is no adverse effect on the plants. The smell isn't offensive, clearly clove, wintergreen and thyme.

May be applied to edible plants up to the day of harvest. Safe around children, pets and wildlife. The active ingredients in these Green Light Products are unique, patented formulations made from plant oils and other ingredients widely used as food and cosmetic additives. These plant oils kill insects by blocking specific neural pathways that don't exist within mammels or birds. These plant oils attack the Octopamine neuro-receptors. Octopamine is a key insect neurotransmitter that regulates insect movement, behavior, and metabolism. The blockage of the receptor activity prevents the transmission of the Octopamine signals which leads to certain characteristic signs of toxity such as excitiation, hyperextension in the hind legs and abdomen, followed by immobilization and/or knock down, followed by death. this process will begin immediately. Mortality can occur within minutes of applicatio, but may take hours depending on the type of insect pest and concentration of product that contacts the insect directly. Bioganic can be used up to the day of harvest on vegetables and other edible plants.

Myossage Lotion Review

Myossage Lotion
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I used Orange Guard on several fire ant mounds, using the manufacturer's instructions of 3 to 1 diluted AND full strength. The mounds were ABANDONED. There were absolutely no ant carcasses to be found AND here is the important point, mounds appeared nearby in short order where there were none before. For emphasis and clarity, I repeat, even at full strength, Orange Guard DID NOT KILL fire ants, it just made them move. If you want to kill fire ants in the most earth friendly way, use boiling water. You will see dead ants, and except for the energy burned boiling water, no possible harm to the earth. BTW, as far as the spinosad based products such as Conserve, although safer than probably all previous such products, studies on spinosad show slight toxicity to birds, moderate toxicity to fish, and slight to moderate toxicity to aquatic invertebrates. However, it is highly toxic to bees and is highly toxic to oysters and other marine mollusks. Again, boiling water (as a nod to Ray Bradbury, I call it Farenheit 212) does no harm to any of these when applied to ant mounds. If you want an ant repellant, it does appear to accomplish that.

This kills really well. However, the scent is really, really strong. I have young kids... and so I wanted to stop using Raid. In my opinion, it has a pine/menthol-like smell and so I feel like it even irritates my eyes. My wife hates the smell. The scent was so strong that I even reverted back to using Raid, one time. And the EcoSmart scent stays for couple of days. I only used it indoors, and now, would only use with caution (only in well ventilated place).
Aside from the smell, I would still recommend it, trusting that it's safe for kids and non-toxic.

Diatomaceous Earth, Food Grade 50 lb. Bag Review

Diatomaceous Earth, Food Grade 50 lb. Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If your room is infested by Bed Bugs and are looking for solution, this is all the thing you need. It works by scratching off bed bugs' exoskeleton so they get dehydrated and die. I tried it on bed bugs as well as roaches, they both die, but roaches die after few days while bed bugs die after merely a few hours!
This is how I test it to make sure it actually work. Most will just throw them in a jar of DE (diatomaceous earth) and watch them die, I think that's too much and not true in real application. Because insects will most likely walk over the DE and hide, so they actually won't expose to the DE continuously.
I caught a lively adult bed bug and put it on a piece of paper, put a circle of DE around it. So when it finally walked over the circle I caught it immediately and put it in an open jar. It walked fast at the first few minutes, and after like 10 minutes it just didn't walk at all unless I kicked his butt. After a few hours I know it was dead because it was so dry that one of its leg came off after shaking the jar very gently!
Avoid paying thousands of dollars for pest control, most of them do not know how to control bed bugs actually. They never take it seriously to really find all the hiding place because it is not their house. They don't give a darn.
Shipping is expensive but the total would be just $60 comparing to hundreds or thousands of dollor you pay for pest control. The reason I gave 4 stars is while DE really works, it does make your room messy. If you can stand the white powder all over the place then this is the perfect solution for killing bed bugs. Cleaning up the powder is actually pretty easy though. Just vacuum them up. Don't worry about leaving any residue, since they are natural and non-chemical. I do recommend leaving DE in crevices, corner, around baseboard and under your bed. Put many of them everywhere in the kitchen if roaches is a problem to you. Leave them and they work for you quietly and efficiently.
Sorry for this unorganized review. I rarely write review for most products I bought, but for this thing I just couldn't help. Because it does works!
