I thought there was some risk with diatomaceous earth of breathing in the particles and causing lung inflammation. Has anyone else heard that before? I know there are different types of DE, so maybe it isn't the food grade type used for these household purposes.
It's interesting how the fleas looked when you found them. I guess they were dying a slow death after breathing the stuff in. Usually, if you don't catch a flea on first sight they are gone. Usually, they are on me because they love me.
Fishbone, that would never work in my house. My Mom is an obsessive vacuumer. She must vacuum every day or else.
