Our diatomaceous earth comes in the form of a chalky powder, and is the natural fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae. Diatom particles are very small and sharp – but only harmful to the small exoskeletons of insects. \u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffff99;\"\u003eInsects cannot become immune to its action, as it is a mechanical killer – not a chemical one.\u003c\/span\u003e Because it is a light dust, diatomaceous earth easily clings to the bodies of insects as they crawl over it. The tiny diatom particles then cut into the waxy coating of insects and they dry out and die of dehydration within 48 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood-Grade Diatomaceous Earth is an all-natural product that is so safe it can be sprinkled around your vegetable patch, or rubbed right into your dog's fur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Insects Does It Control?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFleas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTicks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilverfish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCockroaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBed bugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarpet beetles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarwigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpider mites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse flies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlugs and snails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFor Indoor Use:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLightly coat a thin layer in areas where insects are found or may hide, such as kitchen cupboards, behind and under appliances, baseboards or drain pipes.

It can be applied to livestock coat as an insect repellent\/contact insecticide. DE can also be added to the food of pets and livestock. The DE helps as a de-worming agent for livestock, and it ends up in their dung. Flies lay eggs on the dung which hatch into maggots, which are then killed by the DE. This is an effective method for fly control, especially on farms and homesteads, and in outdoor areas where animals are present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFire Ants\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSprinkle diatomaceous earth directly on the ant mound, or mix with water to saturate the mound.
