it can also be used for getting rid of fleas in your home. sprinkle on carpet and vacuum up. " At a microscopic level, diatomaceous earth powder contains razor sharp edges that make it highly effective as a bug killer. The bugs ingest this porous powder and get severely dehydrated from inside out"
some say you can put on your pet .. I chose not to in case it would dehydrate him...
Oh yes be careful how much you put on the carpet..what happened to me is another story ..haha
Yes we definitely recommend DE for fleas!
Some of our inhabitants have used it on their pets with great results, but they do take care to give them a bath after a few days.
