Food grade DE

[Guest guest]

I love it for them. In fact I need to get in the habit again. It really

cuts down on all kinds of critters in the yard, everything that goes

near my dog's waste or the dirt where it limes, is exposed to the DE.

What that does is serve as an IGR, because it interferes with

reproduction. I sprinkle a teaspoon or two on their food and stir it up.

Then I enjoy my mosquito and fly free yard. But let me step out of the

boundary...it's like the flying insects can't penetrate our DE force

field. Very real help. Very cool.

Hi Mel, I've been taking it for over three weeks and wish I had

started it from day one. Pretty sure it is helping.

Whoever posted this link to Wolf Creek Ranch, gotta love ya.

Great site. Here's the dosing for your cats.

Food grade DE Dust is safe when used properly. No dust is safe to inhale

because it would get into the lungs. It is the same concept as baby

powder, it is used on babies daily but if directly inhaled it could be

dangerous. One way to avoid inhaling the head lice powder would be to

use a dust mask during application.

Food grade diatomaceous earth powder. It is made of crushed fossils of

fresh water organisms and marine life. It is made to cut the exoskeleton

of head lice like shards of glass causing the head lice to dehydrate and

die and is also commonly used as a natural pesticide.

I give it to my pets all the time mixed in their food it deworms and

also kills fleas.
