I’ve been postponing Five Favorites posts for a while, only because there are so many interesting products I’ve discovered and there is only a small amount of time I can invest on each post for the blog every day. I’ve been excessively busy with new clients and exciting new projects. Here are my favorite products this month.
100% Freshwater Diatomaceous Earth: Organic Bugs Killer, Fertilizer, and Food
Please bear with me as I try to explain what this diatomaceous earth is. At the beginning of Summer, we were inundated with little ants. We would find them mostly in the kitchen around our sink, and it was very annoying. One day while browsing through Amazon I came across this organic bug killer powder that promised to be so safe you can even eat it, just don’t inhale it. We bought it, mixed it with a bit of water and applied along the countertop with a syringe. The next morning when we woke up there only about five ants left and by the third day they were all gone.
This product can also be used to eliminate cockroaches, and it has 100 different uses from helping purify water to detoxifying the body. I have not used it for more than just killing my summer ants but if you want to read more about its many uses, visit 6 Proven Diatomaceous Earth Uses and Benefits. “Diatomaceous earth (DE) is essential for anyone looking for natural remedies in their home, yard, garden or homestead. This amazing product is made of tiny, fossilized diatoms (plankton) that accumulated over millennia in freshwater lakes.” Amazon
