Diatomaceous Earth Crawling Insect Killer 1 lb: NC
Diatomaceous Earth is the hard shells of sea creatures. These shells have sharp edges and tend to tear an insect up from the inside out. Diatomaceous Earth is not harmful to humans or other large animals because they can not do enough damage in our mostly liquid bodies to harm us. Safe and nontoxic, Diatomaceous Earth destroys insects physically by injuring them. The shell particles of the DE are sharp enough to cut the parasites but are not harmful to humans and animals. DE is a natural and safe way to kill insects and parasites without chemicals. When Diatomaceous Earth is sprinkled on the ground, on an ant mount, or mixed with grains, legumes, etc., it slices and dices the insects that walk through it. Diatomaceous Earth spells death to insects that cross it. Not only is D.E. abrasive, it kills by drying , too. D.E. keeps on working forever as long as it stays dry. Effective against snails and slugs, too. Apply with a 'poof' bottle, or better yet a Dustin-Mizer. For more than casual use a mask should be worn while applying D.E.
