Keep it away from flowers or anywhere that is not ground level as it is harmful to bees.

Diatomaceous earth is very effective , but do not breath the stuff in, wear a mask. It does say its non toxic, but those dust particles are just as bad as silica. It will stick in your lungs for years and end up possible tumors/cancer. Its terrible stuff. Floor dry is the same stuff and i keep telling people to not breath it.
