Used this on a sand pile in my back yard August 20, 2010

because my dogs love to lay in it and were bringing all sorts of creatures into my home. It seems to have stopped that from happening anymore.

Couldn't afford a professional exterminator to get rid of the bed bugs, and people say they've payed $600 for a professional only to still have bed bugs. I have the world's most comfortable mattress, so I didn't want to throw it out, and the bed bugs could be hiding elsewhere anyway. I steam cleaned my bed which probably got most of them, but was still getting bit. Then I put this stuff down on the floor around my bed and a little between the mattress and box springs. That's all it took. A little bit of this stuff (there's still plenty left over) and bed bug problem is solved!
Also, the dogs brought in fleas and my kids were getting bit. Put a little of this in the couch under the cushions. Once again, problem solved. This stuff is cheap and works like nothing else! Follow the instructions and don't breath in the stuff directly.
Worked for us! November 16, 2009

We used this to help with our bedbug problem. In addition to steaming our mattress, box spring, and bed frame, we sprinkled this around the bed posts, under and on the box spring and on the frame and along the edge of the wall in the room. It seems as though it has been really effective! We left it in place for about a month and haven't had any bites for the last few weeks!!! Yay!

This is our first spring/summer in this house, and unfortunately there are fistfuls of bugs outside -- all fighting to get in. Primarily the bugs are a couple varieties of ants, spiders and earwigs. I have two small dogs and didn't want to use harsh bug sprays for fear of harming both the humans and pets living here, but I also cannot tolerate bugs in the house.
After doing research on the internet, Diatomaceous Earth was mentioned again and again. The product is essentially ground up fossils -- that's it. There is actually a food grade product that at one time was used as a wormer for dogs. When fed to the dogs it naturally killed the parasites, and did not harm the dogs. Anyway, this is not food grade, and one should avoid inhaling the product and it can irritate eyes, too, but compared with the warning labels on pesticides, there isn't anything alarming. My dogs completely ignore the powder around the doors.
Within two days of application I saw no more earwigs or spiders -- just one small ant wandered in, but that's it. The powder worked well sprinkled around the doorways and garage door. It does need to be reapplied after a rain, but that is typical of other bug powders and some sprays.
And, it is a powder, so it is a little messy, but I'd rather live with a little powder around the doorways that is relatively safe, than bug spray that is a hazard to humans and pets. I put the powder in a plastic squeeze bottle -- like a catsup and mustard squeeze bottle and gently squeezed the powder into cracks between some pavers where I saw the bugs and then sprinkled the powder in other areas specifically where I wanted it. I will buy a larger bag and try to keep the perimeter of the house treated as a preemptive strike.
Based on the other reviews, apparently the diatomaceous earth works better on some bugs than others. Earwigs and pavement ants are my biggest concern and the product did a great job eliminating them. I can definitely vouch for the success of the product on those two bugs and it also seems to be taking care of the spiders, too.
