[Little Bit]

Did you spread it using a hose end sprayer or just dry wearing a mask?

Thanks,

It is a powdery substance (it is not chemical-it is the crushed shells of very old fossils) that you can buy at a Nursery (Use the lawn care type NOT the pool type)-we spread it over our entire lawn, patio, deck etc about three time a year (in the warm months). It kills all fleas and other crawling type bugs. You need to wear a mask while spreading it but after that it is safe-farmers add it to feed to control internal worms.
Many, many years ago, despite using oral type natural methods for fleas we were just overcome by them-we moved into a house already infested and just could not control them.
Someone told us about the DE and it completely got rid of the fleas-inside and out! I felt it was close to miraculous!
Since then, that is ALL we use and have never had another flea!
