Does this work as good as Diamateous earth for flea control?

I'm not familiar with diatomaceous earth but this is an effective flea and itch control.

Apples and oranges really. That said this product has worked well for us in combination with other products. We still use drops on the cats monthly and salt the carpets between vacuuming to dehydrate flea eggs. We use the spray on the cats when needed but primarily use it at entrance ways and on furniture / carpets.

No. This spray is simply a topical temporary relief for your pet. After having bought 2 large bottles of this spray, I feel it has been a waste of money.

I have used per the label. It's a wonderful product. Leave them in the house on vacation. All bugs die! Deer blinds wasp free. I understand flea collars use the very same active agent. That's all I know after over a decade of use. Tops in my book.

It will cover up to 2,000 Square feet, depending on application (how you disperse it). Pump unit, watering can etc. I use it and so far am pleased! However I must say it says for soil dwelling pests. I was hoping it would control the humongous flea problem my property has. So I assume fleas are soil dwellers. I did find and excellent product and solve the flea issue as well. If your thinking about using Beneficial Nematodes do so I suspect you'll be happy you did.

I really don't know. I used it in the Adirondack's so I know it's very effective for mosquito's and a variety of flies. I don't believe I was around fleas.

Not sure. It DID NOT work to keep fleas away.To me it was inexpensive, but it was useless.

It would be difficult to get this sprinkled into a crawl space. It's very effective for the yard. You might try a spray for your crawl space. Lysol spray will kill the odor and kill fleas. If you want a spray designed for animal stool and urine odor in the yard, you might try NaturVet Yard Odor Eliminator. I got that here, too. I've only used it once, so I can't personally recommend it. Good luck!

I think it has some effect but will not totally get rid of fleas. I find it helps to take daily and give him a bath every week. It has a lot of good vitamins and stuff in it and also Brewer's yeast (which is what repels the fleas.) At least, it is not poison.

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

This product is one of the very best on the market for long term flea control. Would caution you read the instructions carefully and follow them to a tee. Vacuum prior to application and make sure to wash pet bedding also.

Can't say really. I bombed the place for fleas and it was pretty effective. The fleas came back at one point, but it is really hard to keep them out anyways. But it was many months. Can't say that is because it lasted for that long though.

This is for flea control only. I did not find it effective. For flea and tick Frontline usually works.

while I've never heard of using Kaolin clay in your garden (not saying you can't, I've just never heard of it), I do use diatomacious earth and it works wonders! It gets rid of all kinds of crawly things (including fleas if you have dogs). The stuff is magic! Just be SURE you purchase FOOD GRADE diatomacious earth, not the stuff used for pools. I do use Kaolin clay for cosmetics and clay masks, great stuff for that. Also, you can't go wrong with the Frontier brand. Love their products.

Flea trap didn't work for me...I liked the Mycodex Plus Environmental Control 16oz for my dog kennel and couches. Might work for you.

It is an excellent flea killer. Just be sure to wear a face mask and goggles while applying. The dust can damage your lungs and your eyes. It becomes less effective if you water your yard heavily or it rains before it has a chance to kill the fleas. I would advise not applying it too heavily since you don't want the dust blowing around getting in eyes and lungs. Your digestive system can handle it easily, but not eyes and lungs. I have used it in my garden and yard for 3 years and have had excellent results.

I don't know how it works for fleas, I used Diatomaceous Earth for bed bug and cockroach; for the bed bugs works well, but as it works realy slow I first used a spray for kill bed bugs; and then put the diatomaceus around, under the bed and in the bed's leg and I put the bed away of the wall also my family and I start to take vitamin B1 (thiamin) and now my mi house is free of bed bugs even when the building where I live is infested of bed bugs; for the cockroachs the diatomaceous doesn't work well because my kitchen is always wet; but even this way I have found many cockroachs dead. I think that for fleas you have to do the same that I did for bed bugs; remember the diatomaceous works relly slow and the fleas reproduce realy quickly, I have experience with fleas and it's realy dificul kill them I had to fumigate 3 times in 1 month; before to know about the diatomiseous. It's importan you know with the diatomaceous, as it's a dust, your house is going to look a little dirty, but I prefer used the diatomaceus instead of insecticide because I have childrens and they always play in the floor and nothing happen even if they eat the dust.

Based on my personal experience and feedback from my readers, using borax for flea control really works. The powdered form has absolutely no smell and doesn't get absorbed by the skin when touched. It kills fleas by acting as an extreme dehydrate and by making tiny cuts in their exoskeleton which results in their eventual death. It can even be used to prevent small larvae that hatch but unfortunately will not help you get rid of flea eggs. (This I got from the web. Not my comment).
