I keep a little bit of this in an old ashtray by the sofa. The cats soon got used to me brushing in a little bit between their shoulders and towards their tail every once in a while or else whenever I see them 'twitching' and nibbling at their rumps; their usual sign of fleas. I was skeptical at first; it perhaps takes a little longer with perhaps two or three applications, it's hard to say. The only advantage I see with the chemical approach (Frontline/Advantage) is that it's a handy one shot fix. The disadvantages are that those are pretty potent insecticides to apply directly to your feline and introduce into your home; I feel I must take care not to ruffle them behind the ears once treated and worry about children getting the chemicals on their hands and in their mouths afterwards - The cats hate the wet sensation of those Spot-on solutions on their necks and so instantly struggle and/or flee. Also, at £4-£6 a month for each of my two cats that soon adds up to around £120/year; ADVANTAGES - of Diatomaceous Earth: I brush a couple of generous pinches into them with a grooming brush whenever I see one of them get twitchy and they love it - one cat loves rolling in garden dust anyway so it's never an issue for her - No worries about insecticides and I can still ruffle their necks - You can sprinkle the dust on the carpets and sleeping areas instead of using insecticide. I can't vouch for that myself but farmers use it in hen coups, grain silos and such like... messy though but it hoovers up - Cheap cheap cheap; this bag's going to last at least a year! I'm pretty sure this is why its reserved for the farming industry and not promoted in pet shops; where's the profit in it! DISADVANTAGES : Perhaps not a one shot fix; I brush in a good pinch of earth every two or three days until the fleas are gone; about a week - It can get everywhere if you're not careful; not a problem really since it hoovers up easily or else, brushed in and left where it falls for a while, continues to act on any residual larvae (carpet moths and bedbugs too!).

It helped with my carpet

Brought to kill midges living in my plant soil. Also fruit flies. So far has stopped about 90% of them. I have used sticky plant traps to catch the rest. Make sure soil is bone dry as will go clay like once wet. I have had to water via putting plants in a little water in the sink and bottom water for roughly 8 mins. Only 4 stars due to packaging is not sealed very well, also you have to put your arm into bag so make sure arms are covered as I do not think it is good for our skin. Would recommend if you have small flies in plants.

Fantastic product, it really does work to basically kill anything flea size. You can even eat diatomaceous earth to help your gut and tummy out. I personally don't but I sometimes add a little to my dogs food.

Bought two bags, one for my own pets and some for my parents pets. My parents cats and dog suffered from these tiny fleas that just would not die. They tried every product under the sun, vet consultations & then finally resorted to this stuff. This stuff is the BEST. After a few days of consistent use, the pesky fleas that had harassed their pets were dead and done. So easy to use, don’t need much product so it should last you quite a while, and it’s so cost effective!!!! My cat lost his fleas within 2 days and I am so beyond grateful to this item!

unfortunately I have a flea infestation which I haven't been able to resolve then a friend recommended this, I've not been using it for long but there seems to be an improvement, I recommended brushing it into upholstery, rugs and carpets to make sure you have even coverage as just sprinkling it around isn't so effective I brushed a small amount through my cats fur on 2 occasions, I noticed after a couple of days his skin was flaking and his fur was very dry, i rubbed a small amount on my arm to see if this was the cause and sure enough I saw how dry it made my skin, on top of that when a cat cleans itself it is then getting it in its mouth, my cat just wasn't himself so I took him to the vet and he was put on a iv fluid drip as his skin was really dry and he'd become severely dehydrated, my vet said it was highly likely that brushing the earth into his fur has caused this

Having tried mainstream flea treatments on my dogs and cats including shampoos, hoovering, washing beds and combing, THIS is what stopped fleas in its tracks. I dusted my dog down and you could see how relieved he became that very night. We are three days in and he is still chilled. I found if he did scratch, a quick dusting in that area and it was sorted. I'm truly amazed how quick this worked. His coat is dusty but I dont mind if it helps him. I put a towel over his head so he doesn't get it in his eyes or breathes it in. It has no odour. I would advise to apply it outside and wear a face mask yourself. I'm very impressed with this product.

Very good product does what it says .My plants are looking healthy again.
