The DE is very soft to the touch, but for certain bugs, the DE feels like stepping on pieces of glass. Essentially it ruptures their "shell" and eventually they will dry up and die from it.
It is very popular with people that are trying to combat fleas, used in feed for chickens (as it kills internal parasites), and for other things as well. It isn't a quick kill though, and the powser is best applied with a sprayer, but even then it is best to use something to cover your mouth and nose because the dust can be quite irritating to some people.
