Pest Grade Diatomaceous Earth 350g

This product will work, but you need to know the right technique before applying it. This is not a poison; it is comprised of microscopic sharp particles that slice up the exoskeleton of insects causing them to dry out. Think of it as a very fine sand. It is a brownish powder and non toxic to humans and most household pets (safe around cats, dogs, etc) although I would advise avoiding too much exposure. If they get it on their paws or lick a little bit of it you have nothing to worry about. I bought this to treat a silverfish infestation and I was successful. Here is my method: - Keep a note of where you regularly find the insects, you will usually find them roaming at night and they love places like bathrooms or closets - Check these areas carefully and think about where they are hiding - cracks around doors or skirting boards are very common places for them to hide. If you have a tiled floor pay particular attention to the edge of the tiles and the skirting board. - These insects usually run along skirting boards - factor this in to your treatment plan - Sprinkle the powder along the path you want to treat. It will tend to come out in clumps at first. - Take a brush with stiff bristles and brush the powder around, spreading it out into a very fine layer. - Brush some of that powder towards the walls/cracks and make sure some gets into the cracks. - If there are any large gaps and you can't seal them, put extra powder down into the gaps It is important to apply it in a very fine layer so that the insects walk through it rather than around it. I applied it to an area extending 5cm from the skirting boards. During the first few nights you will spot the insects as they come out to roam. They will trek the powder back into their hiding places contaminating those places - this is what you want. After a week or so I stopped seeing the insects every night. After a month - I have not seen any of them! Make sure you re-apply this every few days and after vacuuming otherwise the insects will return. I strongly recommend giving this a try.

I found this worked really well, in conjunction with Indorex, to kill off any fleas in the home. When I treated the house, I added this to the Hoover as well, so there was no escape for the little pests. I also used this to brush directly into my cats fur and it certainly did the job. My house and cat were flea free within 3 days. My cat wasn't sure about it at first. She was aware there was something different on her fur and bedding and wasn't totally happy, so I had to add this bit by bit over time. It was worth the effort though and she's now getting used to it. Always use it sparingly as too much can irritate the lungs. Having stopped the infestation I now use this on my cat once a week and on her bedding once a month, to keep away any unwanted visitors. I've marked this down slightly as it isn't the easiest to apply (given its light dusty nature). It would benefit from some sort of applicator/nozzle.

After the winter months we decided to tackle the back garden, a weekend of mowing, sweeping, planting and pruning....left us covered in bites and our dog itching. I treat my dog monthly for fleas, I spray my home yearly with Indorex. Our garden backs directly on to woodland, we get a lot of squirrels, hedgehogs, foxes and cats....the upper part of the garden is very shaded and damp, the lower part gets a lot of sun. I put white socks on and walked all around my house nothing, I did the same in my garden and within a minute had several fleas on my foot....ewwwwww, I found the problem. The evil little things were jumping on the dog and us then being carried into the house. Firstly don’t waste money on a dust bulb this comes with an opening similar to that found on talcum powder so you can easily shake it where needed. Spray a light mist on the affected area then shake this on, do it when the weather is dry, it has to dry out to work. I did this on Friday....then sprayed the house with indorex on Saturday. We have not been bitten once since Friday, when I walk outside now, no fleas jumping on my socks concentrate on shady damp areas and rockeries etc. I will also throw down some beneficial nematodes this weekend for good measure. This does work and will get rid of garden fleas when used properly. It’s no good just treating your pet, you need to treat your home and garden annually to keep on top of them, hope this helps anyone having problems.

it is not too bad if you leave for a few days could help you a bit however it is not killied bed bugs or lice it is a good for spiders or cockroaches I used this and it is still come back.
