## Description

HARRIS Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade, 4lb with Powder Duster Included in The Bag

Review: Highly Recommend this brand&product!! - I use Harris brand DE(Food Grade only!) for SO many needs! Its my #1 Bug killer & deterant(esp in conjunction with the use of Peppermint spray(Mighty Mint)! (Btw, in a pinch, I also use soapy spray water on bugs; dried soapspray will suffocate bugs). DE is a Great dewormer(for pets&humans alike); being Non-toxic, you can progressively sprinkle a tsp-Tblspn of DE onto food, or mix in water/juice(benefits the health of our outdoor, ferral cats too). Just be careful to avoid heavy use near eyes&lungs, and DE can clog/damage vacuum filters too(water wipe up is best). Use in the Garden against pests. The duster tool works very well, but there is a learning knack to have it dust vs heavy sprinkles. Inexpensive and highly effective. Can't recommend enough!!
Review: Holy "heck" this stuff works! - I was at the end of the rope on what to do about our flea infestation. My cat is an indoor/outdoor cat is constantly coming into contact with neighboring cats - that coupled with the unusual heat we've had this summer - seems to have exacerbated our flea problem. I've used the awful and toxic flea bombs - on several occasions, have used the expensive flea sprays, used a variety of medication on my cat, and have given my cat several baths - which if you knew my cat - you would know how dangerous that in itself is - because he hates water. After extensive research I came across this product, and what first grabbed my attention was the fact that the "food grade" is not toxic to humans or pets. I have a child in my home and was fearful of introducing anymore chemicals into the home; I also was fearful of putting more toxic chemicals on my cat. I treated my entire home with this stuff, along with my yard and the exterior of my home (window sills, entry ways). Now.....this stuff is really - really messy. I wasn't sure that I could handle white powder being everywhere but I was desperate to see if this product was effective at killing fleas - as it claimed to be. I sprinkled this product in the interior of my entire home, and didn't touch the product at all and let it sit overnight. (Around 17 hours) When I got up the next morning, I put a pair of white socks on so that I could see whether or not any fleas jumped on me. At first I was horrified as I literally had hundreds of fleas on my socks. I was discouraged as I first thought that this product was ineffective - not realizing the fleas were actually scrambling to stay alive. Prior to using this product - I had never seen that many fleas in my home. Seeing that many fleas made me realize just how effectice the product was as it drew the fleas out of the carpet as they were trying to get away from the product. I vacuumed up the product - vacuuming my entire home - and didn't see anymore fleas. Later that evening I vacuumed again - even the hardwood floors - and have only seen a total of two fleas. I understand that I need to vacuum - vacuum - vacuum. I still haven't let my cat back inside as I have to treat him again. At present I mix this product with his cat food to help treat him from the inside - I also rubbed some of this product into his coat. This product has been extremely effective - I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't usually write reviews - especially not this long. But because of how impressed I am with this product and how effective it really is, I wanted to share this information in the event it helps someone else.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this work for bed bugs?**
A: Yes it will kill bedbugs but it takes time. The way this product works is you dust an area where they may be, around beds and walls and even electrical sockets. The bedbugs will walk through this and get it onto thier exoskeleton. This product will absorb water and dehydrate them. They will also bring their dust covered bodies back to the nests and get the dust on others. This is no quick fix! So it will take time and patience to get them. Best if used with a steam cleaner  as this kills them instantly (should you find a nest). Steam all nooks and crannies, even things you might think is too small.

**Q: What percentage of crystalline silica does this product contain?**
A: By Kathy Allen

I’m going to step out on a limb here and throw some science at this group.  I’ve been seeing a lot of confusion about Food Grade DE vs Bug Killing DE vs Swimming pool and industrial cleaners....here’s the truth, easily confirmed with chemistry.

Amorphous silica and crystalline silica are chemically different minerals.  

Amorphous silica is in DE and natural bug killers.  Crystalline silica is in pool/ industrial cleaners and can be toxic.  It should not be eaten or inhaled.

An example is oil....while olive oil and motor oil are in the same family known as oil, one will bathe your skin and joints in beautiful deliciousness, and one will make you sick (unless you are a car) 

Amorphous silica is safe and healthy to eat, breathe (although any dust can make you cough) roll around in, make a facial, put in the bathtub, brush your teeth with, have a spa day with, rub on your pets and put in smoothies. Crystalline silica can make you sick.

Silica is an essential trace mineral no longer found in our diets due to poor soil conditions.  Essential by definition means “must be obtained from food”

Big Pharma helps perpetuate these myths cuz well...money.  DE is cheap, can’t be patented, keeps peeps healthy and strong which cuts into profits. 

I’ll step off my soapbox now. 🤷🏻‍♀️🔬.         

I'm a recently retired college prof...my main content area is Human Nutrition and my biggest guilt trip is the dispensing of false/misleading info disguised as science to my students. 

Big Pharma is in bed with the FDA, USDA, and other government agencies and think tanks.  The suppressing of information is real, folks....

Diatomaceous Earth is such an amazing, effective and inexpensive supplement I was literally stunned when I discovered it last year.  

Companies like Walgreens don't want us using it because the health and beauty benefits are so vast it would put them out of business.

I've turned back the clock by a good 20 years using DE both externally and as a dietary supplement.  

Closest thing to a miracle I've ever seen and costs about 2 bucks a pound.

**Q: Has anyone use this on their pets for fleas? Thank you.**
A: Yes, I use diatomaceous on my pets (cats, dogs) occasionally. If I'm treating my dogs and cats with a topical flea and tick treatments, I do not put the diatomaceous on them. I put diatomaceous earth on their beds and bedding.  On carpet, wood flooring, bathroom 
and kitchen floors if needed, in and around the kitty liter box.  Patio areas, garage floor, areas where they eat, on the dirt and lawn areas if I'm not going to be watering any time soon. Be careful when applying, take your time. Diatomaceous earth is very helpful.

**Q: This is ok around animals right?**
A: My vet told me not to apply it on the cats because it gets into their lung through breathing.
Diatomaceous Earth is  siliceous sedimentary rock reduced to powder, as such is an abrasive, it kill insects that repeatedly walk on it buy sanding and slashing their exoskeletons. 
So if apply to animals can damage their lungs in the same manner.
I used in my garage after Flea treatment, but I vacuumed thoroughly before letting my pets inside the premises.
I also use it in flower beds but don't let cat in the area till after the rain disperse the powder.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It worked wonders!
*by C***A on January 7, 2026*

This stuff is great for fleas! We saved a pup from a sad situation and unknowingly brought fleas into our house. After trying many products, we found this one and it seemed to work wonders and was a much safer option than many pesticide type products on the market. This was safe for humans and the dogs and we haven’t had a problem since. It’s easy to use, we just sprinkled it over the carpets and vacuumed the next day. It is a very fine powder that was a little difficult to vacuum in one go. Overall very happy with this product!
