(More customer reviews)Make sure you buy !!Food Grade!! Diatomaceous Earth (DE), !!NOT!! the Pool-Filter Grade, which is heat and chemically treated and is !!T-O-X-I-C!!
This product IS FOOD-GRADE DE.
Avoid contact with the eyes, and excessive inhalation.
DE is the remains of microscopic one-celled plants (phytoplankton) called diatoms that lived in the oceans and lakes that once covered the western part of the US and other parts of the world. These deposits are mined from underwater beds or from ancient dried lake bottoms thousands of years old. This means, DE has an unlimited shelf life provided you keep it dry.
There are food grade DE products that are yellow or tan in color, which indicates a higher iron content. Those that are gray in color contain more clay.
When DE comes in contact with the insects, the sharp edges lacerate the bugs' waxy exoskeleton and then the powdery DE absorbs the body fluids causing death from dehydration. Food grade DE works in a purely physical/mechanical manner, not 'chemical' and thus has no chemical toxicity. Best yet, parasites don't build up a tolerance/immunity to its chemical reaction, so rotation of wormers is unnecessary.
