What a pain - D. Wright - NC
I used DE years ago with a carpeted house successfully to get rid of fleas. We have mostly hardwood now, and even wearing a mask and goggles, this stuff went everywhere when I vacuumed (even the carpet). The entire house is now under a white layer. My lungs are killing me and I was up all night with poison control because the pain and lack of oxygen from exposure was so severe I thought I might die. I would not recommend using in houses with wood floors, without professional respirators, or in houses with children as their stuff is entirely coated unless you bag it all up first. We have vacuumed extensively and mopped 3 times in less than 12 hours with various things-Mrs. Meyers, water, vinegar & water mix to remove it and it will not get off the floors at all. It looks like a cornstarch factory exploded. This has been such a huge ordeal for us to clean the DE mess up, I will never use it again.
