This Diatomaceous Earth consists of the skeletal remains of fresh water diatoms and contains amorphous silicon dioxide. This product is intended for indoor and outdoor use to control ants, spiders, fleas, cockroaches, mites, earwigs, and other crawling insects.

indoor use

To control cockroaches, ants, spiders, fleas, earwigs, and other crawling insects. Using a hand duster, apply lightly in dry areas where crawling insect pests are found or may hide, including cracks and crevices, along baseboards, around sinks, cabinets, refrigerators and stoves; and in attics and basements. Direct contact with dust is required for effective control. In food handling areas, or areas where food or feed products are prepared or stored, apply as a “Crack and Crevice” or a “Spot” treatment. As a crack and crevice treatment apply sparingly into cracks and crevices using equipment designed to place powder into specific locations. Limit spot treatments to walls or floors where pests are suspected of hiding. No individual spot treatments sheuld exceed 2 sq ft. All food or feed items must be removed or covered before treatment. Treat open spaces below floors, above ceilings, within walls, under stairs, underneath and behind equipment or appliances, around pipes, around sinks, in utility closets and around garbage and waste cans. For best results, apply to dry areas. Repeat treatment on dry surfaces as needed to maintain control or problem pests. If treated area becomes moist, sweep or vacuum dust and discard in trash. Flea Control in Pet Areas: Thoroughly treat floor, bedding in and around pet’s sleeping quarters. Treat surrounding cracks and crevices, baseboards, furniture, carpeting, and wherever fleas are suspected. Apply dust to rugs and carpets with thin coat of dust. Rake (not sweep) nap back and forth, causing dust to enter rug or carpet. Leave overnight. Repeat applications and vacuum every 3-4 days as necessary for effective flea control. This product will kill live fleas, repel others and help deodorize carpet.

outdoor use

To control ants, spiders, earwigs, mites, and other crawling insects. Using hand duster, dust lightly in areas where insects are found such as windowsills, door frames, around foundations, along ant trails, or garden areas where pests are suspected. Direct contact with dry dust is required for effective control. Repeat treatment in problem areas as necessary for control. Not for use in federally inspected meat & poultry plants.

There are currently dozens of registrations of DE with the EPA for various insecticidal and food supplement uses. DE, with and without pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide, is registered and labeled for fleas, ants, roaches and many other pests. Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) is a synthetic synergist that is added to increase the killing power of the product. It effects the liver and should never be used. Those wanting to avoid it can mix pure pyrethrum and DE together at a 10%-90% ratio. There is approximately 1% pyrethrin in natural pyrethrum powder. Pyrethroids are synthetic insecticides. Soil Mender Crawling Insect Killer is the ONLY EPA REGISTERED DE product that contains 100% diatomaceous earth!

DE makes a very effective natural insecticide. The insecticidal quality of DE is due to the razor sharp edges of the diatom remains and its absorptive properties. When DE comes in contact with the insects, the sharp edges lacerate the bugs’ waxy exoskeleton and then the powdery DE absorbs the body fluids causing death from dehydration. Said more simply, DE kills insects by drying ‘em up. You will see how drying DE as if you handle it with bare hands.

For dogs, cats and other pets add enough natural DE to the animals' food to make up 2% of the volume of the food. That's exactly the amount in the Muenster Natural dog food that I recommend. It is without question the best dog food on the market. It is also the only dry dog food that has no chemical preservatives. For that reason, animals with skin problems and hot spots usually get better from eating Muenster Natural. The cat food and horse feed have the same health giving ingredients.
