- Is this safe to use around pets?
- Yes, food-grade diatomaceous earth is generally considered safe around dogs, cats and poultry when used as directed. Keep the dust out of eyes and avoid inhaling it.
- How is it different from garden-grade DE?
- Food-grade DE is mostly amorphous silica and is purified for use around animals and in feed. Garden-grade can contain more crystalline silica, which is harsher to breathe.
- Does it work after it rains?
- No. DE only kills insects when dry, so outdoor applications need to be reapplied after rain or heavy dew.
- Can I mix it into animal feed?
- Yes, it is commonly mixed into livestock and poultry feed as an anti-caking and parasite-control aid. Follow the label's dosing guidance for the animal.
- What comes in the bag?
- A 2 lb bag of food-grade diatomaceous earth powder and a powder duster for application.
- How long does a 2 lb bag last?
- It depends on use. For spot treatment of pet bedding and cracks, a bag lasts a while; whole-yard or coop treatments use it up faster.
