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.

DE is more irritating than typical dust since it’s made of diatom shells, which are typically broken or spiky, but over not seen any evidence it causes permanent effects (see asbestos or beryllium). Just avoid storing large quantities into the air
