25kg Diatomaceous Earth

  • Diatomaceous Earth (DE) has been used for decades around the world as a form of pest control.
  • The main advantage of DE over many other forms of pest control is that it is an entirely natural, easy-to-use product and insects cannot build up resistance to it when it is used over an extended period.
  • DE is not harmful to earthworms or other soil micro-organisms.
  • DE is effective against small, soft-bodied pests such as ants, aphids, earwigs, mites, slugs, snails, thrips, vine borers and small caterpillars.
  • It has no impact on the environment and is harmless to most higher life forms.

*Note DE can also be mixed into your soil prior to planting as a preventive against soil-borne pests.

 

Composition

The typical chemical composition of DE is 80–90% silica, with 2–4% alumina (attributed mostly to clay minerals) and 0.5–2% iron oxide.Diatomaceous earth consists of fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled protist.
