Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is the perfect natural, organic product for controlling fleas, ticks and other parasites. DE is safe, effective and affordable, and bugs never become immune to it. DE kills all insects by scratching off their protective waxy coat causing them to dehydrate. Upon application of DE, most insects die in an hour or less.
PETS AND LIVESTOCK
Application of DE externally on animals kills and prevents infestations of fleas, ticks, mites, etc. Taken internally, DE deworms and kills digestive parasites in your pet. Food grade DE is non-toxic, non-drug, non-chemical and all natural.
- Dust DE onto the coats of dogs and cats and rub it into their fur for flea, tick and lice control.
- There is no harm if your pet licks it because DE is also used as a natural dewormer.
- Add DE to wet or dry pet food each day for killing internal parasites.
- Add DE to pet food for improved joint, skin, and hair coat health.
- Use on birds/poultry for lice and mite control.
- Apply to moist kennel areas for pest and order control.
ORGANIC INSECT CONTROL
Everyone loves the fact that DE is totally drug and chemical free. Not only is DE safe to use, bugs cannot become immune to its effects like they do with chemicals. Below is a listing of the different ways people are applying the DE:
- Dust into carpet, furniture and bedding for additional protection from fleas and ticks.
- Dust on gardens, flowers, plants, shrubs, bushes and trees for insect control.
- Spread around foundation of house for pest control.
- Sprinkle in and around animal and pet housing.
- Pour onto, around and down ant hills (including fire ants).
- Spread over large areas with a fertilizer spreader or duster.
- Mix with water and spray or whitewash infested areas.
- Add to stored grain or foodstuffs.
- Dust in studding during construction to create a permanent bug guard.
HUMAN SUPPLEMENTATION
Many people are taking food grade DE every day as an internal digestive cleanse and mineral supplement. DE is a high source of silica, a major mineral human's need that is generally lacking in our daily diet. Most people take one to two tablespoons of DE daily mixed with juice, water, applesauce, yogurt, protein shake, or liquid of choice. Some benefits of supplementing with DE*:
- DE is comprised of approximately 70% to 90% silica.
- Cleanses digestive tract and colon of parasites.
- May lower cholesterol.
- May lower high blood pressure.
- May reduce arthritic sore joints.
- May moderate and stabilize blood sugar levels.

"FLEA FREE" PET FOOD SUPPLEMENT
Sold as 1.0 1b (16 oz) = $13.00 or 2.0 lb (32 oz) = $23.00
"Flea Free" is a natural whole food supplement containing garlic and vinegar that eliminates fleas from your pet. When "Flea Free" is added to your pet's food or drinking water, it works internally and emits an enzyme which shields the protein the female flea needs to lay eggs. Not sensing the needed protein, the femaile flea will jump off the pet and search for another blood meal that has the protein because if she doesn't draw blood every 20 to 22 hours, she will die. (Note: male fleas do not bite.) Depending on your pet's weight, metabolism and state of infestation along with the overall health of the animal, "Flea Free" takes as little as 3 days or up to 4 weeks to work. The average efficacy is within 6 to 10 days.
