Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: How much Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) to buy? Thu Sep 06, 2012 6:42 pm | |
| Afternoon all,
I am going to purchase some Diatomaceous Earth from Wolfcreekranch.com.
I will be using it in the yard, around the house, and in Juneau's food. I have a 2800 sq ft house but about 2/3 of that is carpet. The yard is a pretty good size too. It's probably a good 60x70 foot yard (just guessimate).
She's got fleas and I don't want to use Frontline, Advantix, etc etc. I have 6 pills of Capstar arriving in the mail tomorrow (hopefully).
I've been using the ACV and Garlic, but to no avail - it hasn't really helped. I guess all of the fleas have to be off in order for it to repeal them lol. I also used the essential oils (Lanvendar, Cedarwood and Rose Geranium) but the problem persists (once again, repeals and doesn't kill - expected).
The neighbors next door have a dog that they leave out 24/7. Their yard is trashed (literally, scattered garbage). I'm going to "assume" that they don't treat their dog or yard for pests. We have a 6 foot wooden fence. I'm worried this is where the fleas are coming from. Behind our yard is a retention pond, this could be the source too. >:l
Since I want to treat my yard, house, and Juneau, how much would I have to order?
Also, how often would I have to order before the fleas come back?
http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/buy_diatomaceous_earth.html They're in serveral different packages and it's overwhelming. I also don't know how much is "too much" for per area. I hope that's not confusing.
I'm sorry if this is redundant, but I couldn't find it anywhere on the forum. |

This is the one I purchased..
I would gladly package some up for you and send it to you for the shipping cost and a couple of dollars.
No I don't have a pour spout with mine.
We did purchase a weed sprayer like this one from walmart for doing the yard.

Send me a pm if you want some..
We used these something like this for instructions using it in the yard.
