    used to work in a pharmaceutical plant that used it for filtering purposes...i could get it way cheap and used it in the flower beds in the chain spots as well as on the dogs themselves....worked great for fleas....US1

    I just got some, but don't know if it works because I put Frontline on my dog a week or two before.

    It is not an instant top kill like Frontline or Advantage so you may not see results 3 days, but I would dust them again on day 3, 6, 9 and 12 then every 2-4 weeks.

    It works by cutting through the exo-skeleton of the fleas there bye killing them.

    If you purchased FOOD GRADE DE you can also use it internally as a wormer for everything EXCEPT heartworm.
