Diatomaceous Earth is often known as DE for ease. It is not only low cost, its also suitable for several uses. It is not Earth coloured though, its white.
⚠️ It is absolutely critical that you use the FOOD GRADE.
DE is a non-toxic natural substance, made from crushed fossils of freshwater organisms and marine life.
We love FOOD GRADE DE because of its multiple uses but also its deadly impact to insects, whilst being safe for use in animals.
FOOD GRADE DE can kill fleas, ticks lice or mites. It doesn’t poison insects or paralyse them, it dehydrated them swiftly so they die, it does this to any larvae too
Internal Parasites:
Mix FOOD GRADE DE into food well to eliminate roundworms, whipworms, pinworms & Hookworm. If you have a positive worm result use FOOD GRADE DE for 14-28 consecutive days (14 for low count, 21 for medium, 28 for high) in this manner before retesting.
