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.

[@marthamckay4862]

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

[@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.

[@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.

Nice video. one and a half years ago, i tried earth for bed bugs and it did not work. I watched y our videos and used crosssfire. no more bed bugs as of now. Crossfire really works.

Safety first 👍🏿

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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

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.
