Hey all, I just came upon this stuff while searching for pest control in my garden. This is an amazing product! I could list all the beneficial properties here but I think I'll just do a few links and you could see for yourself.

This stuff can kill pests in the garden, kill bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas, ticks. Is used internally in livestock to kill parasites. Chicken dusting. And in humans as some kind of detox!
Anyone have used this?
Yes it really does work. With earwigs anyway. The way that it works is very simple and it is not a pollutant. Simple, cheap and environmentally friendly. It does not get much better. I have used it for 5 years. I swear by it!
Cool! I applied it a few times but it keeps raining and washing it away :S Anything for my tomatoes!
It works,
fleas,
internally
added to some cleaning products to increase effectivness
on carpets to help keep fleas away
We kept a jar of it and were dropping fleas in to see if it killed them and it always did so next we threw in a Funnel Web Spider and it was dead before 24 hours was up!
We also mix it into our dry food storage as it protects against weevils and can easily be sieved out of the grain as we use it and placed back in the tubs of grains again.
Had a flea explosion in the house once, so I threw it around liberally and left it for 24 hours and all the fleas were dead...but I nearly killed the vacuum removing it all, it really blocks up the filters big time, so I had to sweep as much up as I could then struggle with the vac for the rest.
So in short I won't do that again!
It is great in the chook house though...never used it on garden pests as I've never really needed to.
