Never in my years of keeping chickens have I had red mite before, so imagine my horror when opening the coop doors to find the place overrun with them. So, I did my research to find the best possible way of getting rid of them as quickly and effectively as possible. I read all sorts, mostly conflicting evidence, and guidance. I settled for a spray and powder. I emptied the coop of all bedding I saturated the place, thousands of them appeared, so I jet washed and sprayed again. Satisfied with myself, the chickens went to bed. Next morning horror again, red mites everywhere. So, the felt came of the roof, the roof came off, the floor was lifted, and I sprayed every nook and cranny, jet washed, sprayed, jet washed, sprayed and finally I thought I was rid of them. I caught all the chickens, no easy feat, and gave them a lovely spa rubbing the powder all over them, admittedly I got more of it over me, for some odd reason they did not enjoy their spa treatment. Chickens reluctantly went to bed, I think the smell really put them off, that and it was the cleanest chicken coop they had ever seen. Morning came, feeling positive I opened the coop door and screamed with frustration and horror, they were still there in their droves. Back to the drawing board, I read more articles until I came across a person, I will call the Chicken Champ and he, having been through the same debacle as I had, recommended DIATOMACEOUS EARTH. I started again, rubbing the powder all over the coop and mixing it with their bedding and feed as per the instructions. They also had a second spa treatment, worse this time as they knew what was coming, one thing is for sure I won’t get red mite. As I write this review, I am at day 8. NOT ONE mite in my coop since I have used this miracle grey powder. It hasn’t disturbed the chickens and they are laying again. If only I had come across the Chicken Champ earlier, I could have saved myself a fortune and a lot of stress and anguish. I would highly recommend this product, but get in there early because I intend to buy as much as possible to ensure I NEVER have to go through this again

During hot summer I noticed one day several (12+) mounds of soil throughout lawn and on checking could see they were alive with red ants. We get ants but not normally red that can bite. I like my lawn and hated the idea of causing damage with whatever I then used to treat it. I discovered this product and just wow, what a find! Within days of lightly covering the ant hills with this powder and raking in slightly, the ants were gone. Great to have a bag for when you get a wide variety of infestations in the garden. Will never be without it now. Love that it’s not harmful to anything else unlike some pesticides etc.

I had heard often of diametecious earth and its useful properties but never before taken the plunge and bought some. My main intention is to deter slugs and snails and other garden pests and the only reason I have not given 5 stars is that it loses its efficiency if it is wet - and that can happen quite a lot here. I will persevere though. And I am hopeful that it will also be beneficial to my cats - you can add a tiny bit to their food which apparently will deter worms and fleas. I suspect you have to persist and the packet does say that "animals develop a taste for it".. The cats were mighty suspicious the first time I added it to the meal (only 5g, teaspoonful, per 100g) but they ate most of it. You can deter fleas and carpet moth by sprinkling it on animal bedding and carpet and then hoovering it up. Hope it lives up to its reputation.

Great value product you get a lot for your buck. Good quality, feed grade, it has helped our chickens stay mite free.

Use this loads for my alpacas they love it as do the chickens

Don't know if this works. Used it in the garden. Very messy, goes everywhere especially if it's windy. Probably better to water it down and use a watering can. I just used it neat!! Bought it in as my dog I am sure was picking up fleas from my garden. We have a lot of cats come in to my garden and use it as a toilet!!!

Look, it’s a big baggie of diatomaceous earth that seems like great value to me. You want diatomaceous earth and have somewhere to store a small box, then go for it. Not sure what more I can tell you. I use it in the hen house and was tired of buying small bottles that were more expensive per gram and creating plastic waste so I bought this big baggie to save money and plastic waste. It’s a nice sturdy semi-opaque polythene-type baggie that comes neatly zip-tied, delivered inside a cardboard box. And the baggie is full of diatomaceous earth. Are you still seriously still reading this? Well, okay then. I made a puffer bottle out of an old plastic milkshake bottle, piercing the top with scissors (following all appropriate H&S procedures when handling the scissors) and then filling it about 3/4 full from the big baggie, so it puffs out the dusty stuff when I squeeze it. The specific choice of bottle ensured just the right amount of squeeziness and having a bottle that still returned to its original shape. Gotta think these things through before you commit to an idea. And hey presto I have a dusty mite-free hen house. Happy hens and happy me with my eggy breakfast.
