Multi-Mite 2kg Bucket Feed Grade Diatomaceous Earth DE Powder for Dogs Cats Poultry Animal Bedding & Housing Pet Areas, Stables, Gardens. 100% Natural Highly Absorbent & Desiccating DEFRA Registered

Due to the recent heatwave we had a massive outbreak of flea beetles in our garden. They were everywhere eating the plants. There were hundreds all over the windows of the house as well. I had no idea how to deal with them until I read about DE. It has lasted a few days so far as we've not had any rain and very little wind. I didn't have a proper applicator at first so sprinkled it around with a trowel and paint brush (flicked). This worked but was a messy approach, but still effective. I now have an applicator so it's very easy to apply to both plants, bushes, windows, fascias, and any nooks and crannies. It is VERY VERY effective against flea beetles. In roughly 4-5 hours I noticed them just dropping off the windows and leaves. We now have literally 1 or 2 roaming around. They have all ben killed off very quickly. It can also be used for ants and many other insects. I definitely recommend this for anyone with a flea beetle problem or other insect issue (pet safe and indoors/outdoors).

Works well but the powder does make you sneeze as its very fine so a mask is highly recommend. Value for money. Not too messy. Kills bugs quickly.

Excellent!!! Ideal size & quality!!

Great value , works incredibly well for red mite infestation or as a preventative, I always wear a mask when using and would recommend everyone to use one when using DE, long lasting and easy to open bucket

Worked on silverfish around my toilet. Used for 3 days and all gone. 👍🏼

I always have this to sprinkle around the chicken shed I also mix a bit into the straw it keeps the red mites at bay...they don't get a chance to establish at all . If you sprinkle this around and then use a sweeping brush to get a dust cloud going it will get into all the nooks and graneys.. Wear a facemask when getting a dust cloud going it will protect you from inhaling it I also use straw with eucalyptus to deter the flies..hang a big bunch of herbs rosemary lavender and basil the shed will smell gorgeous and this also deters the flies.

Our house is... well, bug-gy. Our dog brings home the odd inevitable flea, we see the occasional clothes moths in the Spring, and we have mould mites (boo) every winter. This is a handy way of limiting their numbers with each year. I'm pretty sure that the mould mites in particular would have been rampant by now if it wasn't for this stuff. I can't even tell you how bad it was... they were literally partying ON MY HEADBOARD and crawling across EVERYTHING the first time they appeared. We rubbed this into the carpets, beneath skirting boards, under furniture - and whilst obviously diatomaceous earth doesn't fix the root of the problem (mould/damp) - it's made a huge difference. I could count on both hands the amount of mites I saw this winter, and it has prevented any clothes moth eggs hatching. This was recommended to me on a forum and has actually been one of the handiest buys ever. It comes in a massive sturdy tub, is easy to sprinkle into carpets or fabrics, and has been a life-saver. Unless you're a bug. I hear this can also be used in flowerbeds to stop snails eating your plants, but I can't brign myself to test it. This stuff gets everywhere (you'll be sneezing brown dust) and it dries out your hands terribly, so make sure to have good ventilation and ideally rubber gloves.

We bought this as we've used DE before to control fleas and the hot weather seems to have seen an increase in them so we wanted to make sure the house didn't become infested. The big bucket and the name Multi-mite were both compelling and I do see reviews saying people find it works for flea control. Sadly, not for us. We treated an area of carpet that we knew to be affected as, walking through, there would be one or two jumping on to socks. We gave the area a very healthy dose of powder and brushed it into the pile then left it. After being down for 2 days, there were still fleas jumping from the carpet seemingly unaffected. As other reviewers mentioned, it is extremely dusty and you can see clouds in the air on application that then settle on surfaces. Walking on it even after being down a while also throws up puffs of the powder which started getting onto our chests. Reviews say it's great for mites and other insects and we have no reason to doubt them but, from our experience, it doesn't work on fleas.
