Product Description

About Harris Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth

Harris Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is composed of 100% ground freshwater DE, with no additives. The product is made of the naturally occuring fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of algae that forms in freshwater. These remains are ground up into a soft, fine white powder that carries many different uses. It's chemical free and completely safe to use around children and pets. 

Harris Diatomaceous Earth is listed with the Organic Minerals Research Institute (OMRI) for organic use. It's packaged in a 1/2 lb puffer bottle that allows for easy application of a fine dusting of powder. 

For every ten dollars in profit we receive for Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade, we have pledged to donate $1 to the Etowah Valley Humane Society (EVHS), a private non-profit organization that saves thousands of animals every year. Based in Cartersville, GA a short drive from the PF Harris manufacturing plant, EVHS aims to prevent cruelty, relieve suffering, and provide humane treatment for all animals in need. The organization actively works to eliminate root causes of suffering and acts as an educational resource for the community, with the main goal being to find a great home for animals in its custody. Below are a few of the impressive stats showing the impact EVHS has had on local animal lives in recent years:

  • Rescued over 13,000 lives from Bartow County Animal Control since 2010
  • Helped increase the number of live animals pulls from Bartow County Animal Control from 69/month to 207/month - a 300% increase
  • Assisted in decreasing the Bartow County euthanasia rate six years in a row

Harris’ own Chief Financial Officer, Ed Brush, has been involved with the society for years. Seeing an opportunity to help a local organization doing so much good, PF Harris partnered with EVHS in an effort to combat animal cruelty and find deserving pets a loving home. We hope you will find value in our Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth while knowing that 10% of profits are going toward saving the lives of pets in Bartow County, Georgia.

About PF Harris

Our Story

Problem solving has a long heritage at PF Harris. In 1924, two years after its founding, the company tackled the Calvin Coolidge White House, which had been overrun for years by roaches and water bugs. Harris’s product was so successful in eliminating the scourge that he was described on the front page of the Washington Times as a "vermin slayer" who has just fought a decisive, winning battle with a horde of cockroaches which infested the lower regions of the Executive Mansion.

Over the course of the next few months Harris took “his final feast” to dozens of government buildings, including the Senate Office Building, the Department of Justice, the Supreme Court and Walter Reed Hospital. Success followed success: Each superintendent of the various buildings was highly satisfied with the results.

The company today stays nimble enough to respond to changing market demands, leading the way in the development of numerous products, including natural insect repellents like Swamp Gator and Swamp Gnat which repel biting insects without using deet. Beyond the products it sells, Harris helps customers find easy and economical solutions to pest problems through helpful labeling, instructive videos and personal advice.

It’s a brand with a reliable past and an innovative future. PF Harris is America’s oldest EPA-registered company. With more than 55 products, the company provides solutions to treat everything from roaches and bed bugs to scorpions and stink bugs.

Great for ants!
This is the 2nd time I have purchased this product. It truly has been a wondrous product. The ants in this apt complex are long established. They were immune to everything even chemical sprays. But. This stuff keeps them in check. A tip I found is if you find a bottle with a smaller tip opening you can puff it a smaller line of product. If i find a line of ants i follow them to the entry point and make sure to fill that area as well . The stuff has all but made the ants dissappear. Now. On occasion I see a random scout or s group of tiny ones. I just resprinkle the area- no more ants. I sprinkle it under my dogs dog food bowl mat. It's food grade I know it's safe. Highly recommendWorks great for ants. Sprinkled it around where the ants were and those buggers are gone! I feel much better using it in the kitchen around dishes and food than a chemical and no bad smell. Works very well, and is natural and safe. I like it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Didnt really get rid of silverfish but got the ball rolling
Reviewed in Canada on February 12, 2023
So I had silverfish but I also have a young child, a toddler and a baby crawling so I didnt want to put anything toxic out. I got this and this is what I kept seeing at my baseboards. I also continued to see the silverfish. HOWEVER I will say their appearances decreased. After one week of keeping this out, I got rid of it (do not use a vaccum cleaner as this will clog it) and I put boric acid for a good week and theyve been gone for a couple of weeks now. So if you want to get rid of silverfish asap get boric acid. If you want to get the ball rolling and try something natural, try this!
