Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade

Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth — Mechanical Pest Control

Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a mechanical insecticide — microscopic fossilized diatom shells that physically damage the exoskeletons of crawling insects, causing dehydration. No chemical mode of action means no resistance buildup.

• Mechanical action — physically damages insect exoskeletons, no chemical resistance possible
• Food grade — safe for organic gardens, people, and pets
• Effective against — ants, fungus gnats, crawling insects, slugs
• Dust application — apply to soil surface, around pots, on foliage
• Reapply after watering — DE loses effectiveness when wet

Dust on soil surface for fungus gnat control, around garden beds for ant barriers, or on foliage for crawling pests. Reapply after rain or watering. The safest physical pesticide available.
