what difference between Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade 50 Lb and Diatomaceous Earth Crawling Insect Control DE

I assume the difference is you can consume the food grade, the other stuff might be processed do not consume.

Our Natures Wisdom product is food grade and packaged in stainless steel FDA Approved equipment on a dedicated line specifically for this product. It is milled from 1 of the 4 locations in the US that is considered food grade by the FDA.

Food grade DE can be consumed by humans. If it is doesn't say Food Grade it may have something in it other than pure Diatomaceous Earth. Depends on what it will be used for.

I received the big jar without handles. I recommend wearing a dust mask while using b/c it can be a little irritant. Food grade means that it's non toxic and can be used in food applications ie. with livestock, they sprinkle D-earth on foods during parasite season. My dogs were ok with this product and we stopped seeing Florida fleas after a week of treating the dogs & the house.

I have never used the diatomaceous earth and I would not want to put this product in my carpet and pet beds. Borax (what makes up Fleabuster) does not kill the flea, a flea lives for 30 days and in that time it lays lots of eggs. The borax sucks the moisture out of the eggs, they do not hatch, and then there are no more fleas. You break the cycle.

My understanding is that is kills any type of hard shell bug. The product is made of tiny little shrimp. The reason that is not toxic is because the diatomaceous earth breaks down the hard shell of the bug leaving it unable to be protected by its hard cover. While I have never read anything that says that it kills spiders I would think that it does.

Boric acid is a poison and should not be used around plants or animals, where as Diatomaceous earth is nontoxic and safe to use on and around plants & animals.. safer brand is just as it claims to be, (SAFER) I would always wear a mask when applying.

After talking to the Orkin pest control man I would like to be very honest and tell you that he informed me that if you buy the 20 mule team laundry detergent and use it in cracks crevices and around your beds that it actually works better than the DE. The detergent contains BORAX which is a lot deadlier and faster to kill than the DE. Also if you have seen one bed bug then there are many more hiding!!!! You really need to get a pest control to do an inspection. These bed bugs are almost impossible to kill. I know I have been battling them for 2 years now and whenever I think I have the problem licked they come back!!!!!! Heat kills them!!

Seems to be the same machine. They're using the same photo. Just sold by a different seller on amazon. I still love ours. Hope they make one for really big bugs one day. We've had ours for over 5 years at least now.

If you use diatomaceous earth in the Pest Pistol, it could help you get rid of roaches. I bought this item to help spread diatomaceous earth (food grade only) around our yard to help prevent fleas on our dogs. It also could be used in the home to help spread the earth on our carpets if there was a flea outbreak. Diatomaceous earth is able to scratch the hard shells on adults and then sucks the moisture out of their bodies and any eggs they managed to lay. According to this website, http://www.diatomaceousearth.com/natural-roach-killer/ , it would do something very similar to roaches and I know it is used on bedbugs too. Hope this answer helped.

I'm. Sorry I bought this product so long ago. I know it didn't work for my problem. If they are insects I would buy the diatomaceous earth food grade. It cuts them in half if they walk through it. An it is safe if u breath it. But I wouldn't. I bought baby powder an took out the powder then put the dial.earth in the container. Then spread the. D. E. Where you need to. A little gos a long way. I had to move from where I was living to get rid of whatever it was. Compleat nightmare. Charlotte

DE stands for Diatomaceous Earth. Diatomaceous earth consists of fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae. It is used as a filter aid.

DE will, the Pest Pistol is only a great way of applying the DE as it is like baby powder consistency. Also be sure to get food grade pure DE and not for pools. Food grade is safe for pets and humans. I suggest you google DE and roaches, you will find a lot of info.

Phoenix worms are nutritionally far superior to waxworms with each being at polar ends of the nutritional spectrum! While waxworms are a fatty treat for reptiles, Phoenix worms pack in 30 times more calcium than waxworms, eliminating the need to dust your feeders. Phoenix worms have 53% of their fat content being lauric acid, which is an antimicrobial very effective against coccidiosis as well.

There is no difference, Dupont who originally manufacture the Roach Gel which is red tube was bought out by Syngenta about 3 years ago, Now sygenta manufactures the item the exact same way just with their colors which is the white blue and green

This is food grade diatomaceous earth so in general "food grade diatomaceous earth is 84% silica, and contains some 20 trace minerals." I shipped this to a friend for use on her pets and in her house to control / eliminate fleas and other pests. I know folks who take this internally too with no apparent ill effects and swear by it although I am not doing that myself so do not have a valid opinion about that. I am wondering how you intend to use it. I got a much larger container because I use it as a barrier to eliminate ants, spiders, and other pets in the house along with including small amounts in my pets food and rubbing a small amount into their coats and even some in the litter box to help keep it dry. It is the only thing I will use in the vegetable garden. Just do NOT confuse this with industrial grade which IS toxic. This is FOOD GRADE.

Diatomaceous earth acts by scratching the surface of an insect and causing their body to dehydrate. If a tick has a hard shell body -- it might not be able to scratch and dehydrate the insect. I believe ticks have hard shell bodies. You might check that fact in a biology book.

Please check the label. You can use different strengths for different insects

I have to agree with the previous posts, although our problem is also bedbugs and I can't vouch for de's effectiveness on roaches. I imagine a powder might be too thick, but I kind of doubt it. Remember to use a protective mask when using diatomaceous earth.
