Anybody use for bug control or anything else?

[pabasshawk]

I use it as a filter material for the pool. It also seams to help get rid of ants. I sprinkle some around the perimeter of my house.

[OkobojiEagle]

It also kills beneficial bugs and worms...

I have used it for fleas in the yard. Also put it on goats and other livestock for parasite control. Harmless to humans

[wildturkey]

Some toothpastes use it as the scouring agent.

I have used it as an absorbent in haz waste shipments.

That's what the lady at TSC told me. Lot cheaper than spectracide. Also said she uses lt on her dog for flea control. Just shakes some on the dog and rubs it in.

Yes it actually makes tiny microscopic cuts on insect bodies that allow bacteria to enter their bodies and kill them. Always spread it around the outside perimeter of my house in Florida and significantly reduced the insect problems.

I use it as a filter medium mostly, but it helps keep the slugs away from the garden too.

My knowledge of it is it sucks the moisture out of insects body's that kills them. I know if you put it in grain make sure the people buying it as when I find it it is un known foreign substance and will make grain sample grade, unless I am told about it prior. Then genetic testing will probably happen by the usda

not harmless if inhaled!! very dangerous if inhaled!!

[ChrisS22]

Very useful stuff, I use it (food grade) to worm my hunting dogs . I sprinkle a little on their food once month, as it passes thru their gut it cuts the worms and kills them.

[Bassakwards]

I used it to kill a cricket that got into my house but I couldn't find. I narrowed it down to the area I thought he was chirping in, and 1 day later no more noise at 4am.
