50 Lb Diatomaceous Earth White

DESCRIPTION:
Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is totally organic and safe. It contains less than 1% percent of Crystal and Silicon. Some of the uses for Diatomaceous Earth include; household pets, gardens, flower beds, field crops, grain storage and livestock feeding. Diatomaceous Earth is Mother Nature’s product with no harm to the environment, pets or to people. Diatomaceous Earth is not an earth, it is the fossilized remains of microscopic shells created by on celled plants called Diatoms. Diatomaceous Earth kills by physical action, not chemical, by puncturing the insect’s exoskeleton and absorbing its body fluids, thus posing no harm to warm blooded life. Moreover, on any surface, these natural pesticide products have a remarkable repellency factor. As long as it is present, insects tend to stay away, making a serious infestation unlikely. Also, the more it is used, the more an environment is created that tends to make insects feel unwelcome.

HOUSEHOLD:
Use Diatomaceous Earth for control of roaches, silverfish, ants, bedbugs, flies, fleas, box elder bugs scorpions, crickets, and many others. Diatomaceous Earth can be used in and around the home, yard, animal housing, etc.

PETS:
Our best friends come in all shapes and sizes. Protect them with Diatomaceous Earth.

It can be used as an organic wormer and will kill any worms or parasites the pets may have. ASK YOU VET HOW MUCH FOR YOU SIZE PET!

PLANTS:

For dry applications of Diatomaceous Earth use a duster and cover entire plant, apply to both top and bottom of leaf. For young plants, as little as two pounds per acre may be adequate. For larger plants, five lbs per acre is probably sufficient. Diatomaceous Earth will need reapplication after a rain. Applies best when there is dew or after a light rain. It is a long lasting, effective powder. The incests can not build up resistance.

STORED GRAIN:
Just add 7-10 lbs of Diatomaceous Earth to each ton of grain as it is conveyed into the storage. When added to grain, Diatomaceous Earth killed the bugs that were present, and protected the grain from further invasions. Bugs could not become immune and they were killed by physical action, not chemical.

NOTE: When using Diatomaceous Earth regularly and/or in large amounts, wear a mask, gloves and a good set of goggles.
