No More Ants in Our House

by Ronda J.

February 2008

Every year in the spring or summer, I wake up one morning to a kitchen counter full of ants. Last year, I mixed peppermint essential oil with water and sprayed around all of my windows, and for the first time in seven years, I was not invaded with ants.

    **Remember to use a mask over your face & children's faces while working with Diatomacious earth or when it is dry & being blown by the wind. This product is very dangerous when inhaled.**

      Concerning this product, it is said to have No Chemicals yet, yet you say it can be dangerous if inhaled. StillI read another customer say it is also good for human ills. I realize having worked with herbs that process and additivies can of course change the composition of an herb, so why the contradiction in these two comments and what does the product Diatomacious consist of ?

diatomaceous earth
by Laurie on May 5, 2010  [ reply ]

The diatomaceous earth is made of crushed ocean crustaceans. When crushed, these are like tiny shards of glass. They cut little animals apart...ants, slugs, etc. Your lungs are very sensitive, and if you inhale this dust, it can damage by cutting. That is why it is dangerous when inhaled.

Thank you for your excellent service. I ordered the Big Berkey Water Purifier on Friday, April 17 & received it on the following Wednesday! I was amazed how quickly it came. We love our Big Berkey! We were buying bottled water every week & throwing away all those plastic bottles (even though we recycle, it just didn't make sense anymore). The initial investment will be earned back quickly. We have our own well & even though it has tested safe, there have been problems in our area with chemicals from manufacturers & also pesticides & fertilizers from farms nearby. Now we feel safe when we & our pets use our water.

Thank you again,
Dianna
