Hey there Allen, thanks for all the great info. I looked on my bag and it looks like I have the bad stuff. IT's 85% silicon dioxide (if I'm remembering that right.)
I'll need to locate some food grade. I saw Paul's recommendations. I do care about the whole food chain impact as well, so thanks for pointing out that part too.
There are a few angles to consider here.
What a great resource this community is...I appreciate it.

Very good. Thank you John. And thank you for the welcome too.

Hello,
I'm new here. I have a question about reptiles, such as lizards and DE. I formerly lived in Colorado where there are basically no bugs. Too darn cold! However, I now live in Texas where the roaches are as big as a small dog! Not really, but they are very, very big. I'm using DE inside of my apartment but I was wondering about outside around my front door. There is an adorable little lizard that lives under the step. He/she pokes his/her head out and stares at me when I come and go from my apartment. I don't want to harm him/her with the DE. I consider him/her a friendly neighbor. So my question is, Will DE harm the lizard in any conceivable way? I appreciate any pointers that you might have. At this time I have not seen any roaches in the apartment, but last night I saw one on the steps in front of my human neighbors door which is mere inchis away from my front door. Yuck!
Thanks, Shantelle:0)
Eco-conscious but practical all the same.
