Tools and Hardware Reviews of Safer Brand 5170B Ant and Crawling Insect Killer 4 Pound bag

Customer Review: Non toxic pest control
Summary: 5 Stars

I discovered diatomaceous earth after a search for non-toxic pest control. DE is a mechanical killer -- meaning, it never loses effectiveness the way that poisons do. Diatomaceous earth is named after diatoms, the fossils of single celled organisms which have sharp edges that cut insects' exoskeletons so that they dehydrate to death. It's like razor wire for roaches. AND unlike boric acid (borax), it's food safe, so humans can use it in kitchens.

Cover your mouth and eyes when you use this, because big puffs of dust will come up with each spray. It's safe stuff to use, but it's not fun to breathe.

Customer Review: So far, no ants!
Summary: 5 Stars

For natural things, I tried Boric acid which the ants walked right through. Vinegar, which the ants walked around. Ant hotels, didn't work (but my dog seemed to like them, he's ok, but that's cause he's 100 lbs). I put this stuff down the crack they were coming through and after 24 hrs they were finally gone.

I read this is good to spread in your yard for fleas, going to try that next. A man said keeping his yard wet kept the fleas down too.

Customer Review: It is USELESS for Bedbugs
Summary: 2 Stars

I bought this powder from the nearest ACE hardware store on my area. I did it for bedbugs killer. I put two bedbugs in the small container then I poured the powder. It has been for more than 48 hours already but those two bugs seem enjoy that DE. Do not buy this product for the bedbug killer.

Customer Review: Earwigs beware!
Summary: 4 Stars

This is the best product that I have found to get rid of earwigs from our garden. You do have to keep up the application, but it's an organic product that you can feel safe putting on your fruits and veggies in your garden.
