I have used diatomaceous food grade earth for several years now. The first time I used it I bought a huge bag and that really last me a long time, I raised dogs and the neighbors put in new sod which apparently was tick infested. It was through my dogs and the kennel and my house and total grounds within a week. What to use that wouldn't poison my dogs? I searched the web and found this solution. You can eat is and it won't hurt you. It's used as a food additive for cattle ranchers to improve the cattle's health. I used a spreader and spread it all over the lawn, rubbed it into the dogs coats and air blasted it into every crevice of the house I could find. I put it down directly on the kennel floor. It took several days to show a response, but thereafter the ticks continued to diminish until they were totally gone and a couple of months. It was an absolutely terrible experience. Since then I have used it regularly for pest problems as a preventive measure. Put is all around the edge of your house to keep roaches and ants away. Use is for fire ant hills. Spread it on your lawn and garden to keep every insect under control including fleas if you have pets. It is absolutely great. But don't think that you can substitute cheaper DE from the pool supplier. It's not the same thing, won't work and can hurt your pets if it is ingested.

This mat has just the right amount of texture to keep me from slipping when I'm doing yoga and pilates. But I also like the cushioning it provides when I'm doing warm-up and cool-down stretches for aerobics. It's easy to clean and doesn't have a rubbery or chemical smell. When my knees and ankles are tired from jumping jacks or other cardio work, I sometimes even stand on it. It makes the impact softer on my joints.

After reading all the amazing and funny reviews I have decided to get this as a gift for my in law. I know it sounds evil but you have no idea. Thankyou all for your amazing, honest and perfect reviews.
