How is diatomaceous earth a “pet friendly” solution to pest control, yet it’s recommended not to breathe it in?

If I applied it to my home my pets would definitely smell it at least once and inhale it. So how exactly is it pet-safe?

Trying to find the best solution to get rid of some cockroaches I found in my bathroom without endangering my 3 cats.

Dust in lungs is bad but not acutely poisonous, like some pesticides are to non-mammalian pets like fish, birds, and reptiles. And of course, there are invertebrate pets as well, including spiders, molluscs, insects, complex system terraria, and anything that can be kept in an aquarium like corals, sea stars, urchins, and sponges.
