                  This product can be used outside. Please keep in mind that it will not be effective when wet, and is not intended for consumption.

                    It WILL kill bees. I'd put it at base only, if anywhere. DE will hurt any insect that crawls through it.

                          Placed this around all cracks & crevices in my house. All it did was bring out large cock roaches but, they did not die or collapse.

                          This product appears to have reduced but not eliminated the crickets that have overwhelmed our home. And while the product seems to be working, I wish that it was not so bright-white conspicuous. It creates many questions from friends/vistorts as to why we have this white powder at the entrances to our home.
