Addressing the DANGERS of Diatomaceous Earth for Pest Control

I receive a lot of comments on my Diatomaceous earth videos. In this video I address the misconceptions around those videos and explain the dangers of using Diatomaceous Earth inside for pest control.

More than once, I have seen DE used in barrier form in a crib or playpen. The things people do with this stuff because it's "natural" or "safe" amazes me. And as a PCP, I find myself having to convince them it's a dangerous idea. You know....because "they heard" from someone. Glad to see you address this on your platform where many will see it. 👍

[@RiseUpUNAFRAID4614]

I'll address that stuff‼️ IT CREATED A NIGHTMARE at my HOUSE 🏠. They did exactly as he said, went EVERYWHERE 🤦‍♀️. I'd rather use NOTHING.

[@DivideandConquerAnti-WEF]

Ugh😢 i spray this everywhere all over my house at least once a month! Over everything!

[@yes2iam]

What di you suggest to do for roaches and mice

[@yes2iam]

I literally just bought a big ass bag 😢😢😢

[@marthamckay4862]

All good information. Diatomaceous earth is mostly silica. Thank you Mr. Green Akers.

[@MrDragonballer41]

Love this video! This stuff needs taken off the shelf for safety reasons because almost anyone that buys it is misusing it. I’m in this field myself and I’m tired of walking into a winter wonder land because people just open the bag and dump it all over the house.

[@rickrude6301]

I would use a wet cloth to clean up any DE and dispose of it immediately. Most vacuum cleaners will not filter out the fine dust and will put it right back in the air. Many vacuum cleaners have "HEPA" type filters which are not real HEPA filters, further they are not sealed unites and air leaks around the filter.

[@ZPDSurvival]

I have used it outside with excellent results. Takes awhile to work but it works on ground nest type termites I think they were. I would not use it on my beds and carpet. Great Video.

[@ZupE891]

Can you please do a video on springtail control? Everyone gets a springtail problem in their bathroom eventually. So much miss information it there

[@joshuawiseman5629]

hey mr green akers im dealing with an issue where my grandmother has an infestation she cannot afford to stay elsewhere and she cannot afford pest control,i bought crossfire after watching your videos,shes has copd is there anyway to treat with crossfire without her leaving the home or what suggestions do you have i understand the treatment method and where to spray but my question is the safety of living in the home with the spray and how long we have to stay out of the house after application,your answer to these questions would be greatly appreciated

[@KimKey09]

I was about to buy DE because I'm tired of spiders in my walkout basement. Don't know where they are coming from! But we have cats and I'm too scared to use it. I'm contemplating using it outside near our doors but I still worry it'd get tracked inside and then we're breathing it... I thought about putting it between the carpet and baseboard where there's a small gap (can't have it caulked or put quarter round because of the carpet...sigh) but I also don't trust myself to get it in there without breathing it!

[@DanielCortez-jh6fd]

Great video and very informative! I put it all over my yard how do I remove? 😢

[@GreenAkersPC]

It shouldn’t hurt the yard

[@DanielCortez-jh6fd]

@@GreenAkersPC thanks for your reply. I live in a mobile home with small yard and a mobile home right next to mine. Do you think the DE Earth will affect us when we are chilling outside?

[@GreenAkersPC]

No it’s when you’re confined with it in doors when it’s harmful.

[@miked2543]

Hey Jason, while shopping for crossfire i noticed they sell an aerosol version which seems more convenient than the concentrate. I was wondering if you have any thoughts on this product. Thank you.

[@GreenAkersPC]

Typically the aerosols, while they are more convenient, don’t last as long as pesticides you mix yourself

[@miked2543]

Ok. Thanks for the response.

[@MScott-ks9wl]

@GreenAkersPC what would u recommend for roaches if I will be away for 2 weeks?

[@MScott-ks9wl]

And I'm in va lol ❤❤❤

[@strayiggytv]

Its an outside thing only in my household. Its great for killing pests in my aviary but it is not good for inside use! When i use it on the aviary i wear a face mask and i carefully paint it into cracks on any wooden surface. Personally i think its buck wild other pigeon keepers bath their birds in it! Birds have very delicate lungs and you know they're breathing it in when they dunk them in it!

[@Shes1Fat]

Thank you so much for your videos! I feel like I'll be able to finally move out instead of feeling stuck. I've been in this freeze response (fight/flight/freeze) for the longest time.

[@jrrogersstang4696]

Safety first 👍🏿

[@sujal1548]

im in canada i dont have acess to anything but DE

[@GreenAkersPC]

That’s a shame

[@pam164]

Same in England. The pest controllers here use Dimatious Earth.

[@Deliiciioso]

I'm in Canada too. I ordered it through a mail-forwarding address. The one I use is called Shipitto. You just have to create an account online on their website, and it gives you a US address. When your package arrives at their warehouse, they will forward it to your Canadian one.

[@therealG-iz5cv]

I just made a paste with water and DE and covered myself in it for scabies

[@GreenAkersPC]

😳

[@GreenAkersPC]

Scabies is a medical issue and I only take medical advice from a professional physician

[@SuddenRain777]

But what if it’s a TN roach that hitched a ride in a cardboard box and landed in NC? 🤣 Seriously didn’t know about the dangers of diatomaceous earth food grade. I have lung disease so it would have been a disaster for me. Thank you so much.

[@kelvingutierrez4198]

Wait so am i at risk if i go to the beach and breath the air there since theres sand ?

[@GreenAkersPC]

Breathing in sand can absolutely kill you lol this happens in sand storms all the time but most sand at the beach is too heavy and not in the form of dust

[@kelvingutierrez4198]

@@GreenAkersPC that makes sense as to why i have a sore throat after along day at the beach

[@yes2iam]

Ugh , i done put it all around my baseboards in kitchen and bathroom , and lined the cabinets 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
