DEsect Diatomaceous Earth

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.
