I covered my carpets with it, helped me get rid of a flea infestation. Damn cat.
I know a couple that purchased the food grade DE and drink a tablespoon a day mixed in with juice. They both say they feel much better after using it....
yea i saw an online add where the guy drank it to show that it's safe, but i'm still iffy about it. i dunno why...
Thanks for reminding me about this great stuff. Now I just gotta find the food grade version, as I never realized, 'til you pointed it out, that there are different kinds/grades.
BTW, I use that granular, DE based "Oil Dry" form mentioned earlier instead of regular kitty litter mainly 'cause it's just way cheaper - like $10.00 for 50lbs. Come to think of it, we didn't get fleas until I ran out and used something else. I forgot it was a form of DE made (I think) from "Fuller's Earth": that clay deposit people used to use for soap and as a polishing agent. Oil Dry also makes a good soil amendment or straight growing medium even and it's a great aquarium/aquatic soil too. Hmmm, I wonder if this is the "agricultural" grade? It does break down into smaller particles (dust even) with physical agitation (cat box) or back to a sort of clay eventually, depending on how wet it is kept, but it's way cheap.
Most of the critters we're trying to kill are quite small. The DE dust's micro spikes and shards are like knife and sword sized weapons to them but as nothing to us for the most part. Well, eyes and perhaps lungs excluded just to be safe. It doesn't take a ton of this stuff to be effective on those little shits anyway - just enough distributed evenly and thoroughly in the right places.
Tiger, dude . . . good work! Say, wait a minute . . . don't I remember you from OG? K+ and peace.
my experience exactly,DIDN'T DO SHIT!!!!!!!!!!Ok.. I have a 50lb bag of this stuff sitting out in the shed I'll gladly send to someone for half what you can buy it for anywhere else...
Why???
IT DIDN'T DO SHIT... IT DOESN'T EVEN KILL BUGS YOU PUT INTO A BAGGIE OF THE SHIT... LIKE IT CLAIMS TO ON THE VIDEO...
YES ITS FOOD GRADE...
I have the stuff. . have used it... and it doesn't work.... I put fleas even ants in with this stuff.... they weren't dead hours later...
I have not eaten it.. maybe it works that way... but I was HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED
