All kinds of flying things that you can't see when they land. Yuck. Also, if I treat my grass, what would happen if the grass eating blue dog eats it?

Many people swear by it for keeping bugs , slugs,etc out of their gardens. I use it and never use any other flea products. I use Flea spray but not for fleas- I use it for Mosquito protection. Great product. Be sure to get the REAL DE....its a different level of DE thats in the Pool supply section. DE is also well known as a wormer for horses.

It will cut into the bugs' exoskeleton and then dry them out. If you ever get some on your hands, your hands will get really dry, almost reminds me of touching fiberglass in a way, except its a powder. I only ended up applying once to my puppies but I can see how you can get reinfested and then have to do it again. People also use it to sprinkle on carpet, on grass, etc. Also people have put it between matresses for bed bugs. I wouldn't count on being 100% bug free, but I was very relieved that I didn't have to put Frontline or anything harsh on a little puppy at the time, and it did the job I was looking for. :) It should work Renee, since it’s a mechanical action, so it’s not that there’s some chemical that “lasts” anywhere, does that make sense?

How long does it last? How often do you have to reapply? I wonder if this works on ticks? How long does it last? How often do you have to reapply?
