Very nice and affordable,
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.

Diatomaceaous Earth,
Works great. I used it around the perimeter of the house as part of a two step method to rid my home of sugar ants that invade every spring. First tier was a boric acid & sugar solution put into baby food jars. I’m happy to say we no longer have an ant problem and it was a huge relief to find a safe, eco-friendly and effective product for the outside of my home.

A Little Goes A Long Way,
My back yard is bordered by some very dense shrubbery and brush, which is a fertile breeding ground for creepy crawlies. With this stuff I’m able to create a cordon which keeps the bugs out of the yard and away from the house. As others have noted, you do have to replace it when it rains. I don’t see this as a huge problem, however, as it really goes a long way. I estimate I can probably get a couple of dozen treatments from the one bag. A good product, especially if you have pets or small children and don’t want to expose them to dangerous poisons.
