Desect Diatomaceous Earth Insecticide


Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is formed from the fused skeletal remains of diatoms. These single celled algae surround themselves with a hard porous cell wall made of silica. When the diatoms expire, the silica skeletons sink and form a layer of diatomaceous earth which can be harvested. When the sharp-edged dry powder comes in contact with an insect, it scrapes off and absorbs some of the insect’s waxy protective coating causing death by dehydration. As with any powder; precautions should be taken not to inhale while applying.
