: Pet eye question

[Guest guest]

Hi a,

You should check out DE (Diatomaceous Earth/food grade, from the feed store.

It has not been heat treated and ruined. It will kill any insect, just by

dusting it on. Cheap also. I feed it in my goat's minerals and dog's feed

for internal parasites. Vegetables, spiders, chiggers, whatever.
