## Description

Diatomaceous Earth. Animal Health Supplies

Review: Works wonderful for insect control - If you've never used this stuff, you need to try it. It's not only good to eliminate bugs, but it works great for deworming etc and is food grade, so it's safe for all our animals. Please note, if you're using it to control insects in your lawn or garden, use it after things have started fruiting as it doesn't discern between good and bad insects. You're not going to find this grade of diatomaceous earth cheaper than this and it ships fast.
Review: Excellent value - WEAR AN N95 RESPIRATOR IF YOU MIGHT GENERATE AIRBORNE DUST! This is food grade which means it contains 1% or less of crystalline silica, but that means it can still have a little. There is a small risk of silicosis. It is therefore still 99% amorphous silica and getting that in your delicate lungs is still harmful. Be careful. I bought this to dust my attic and other areas insect pests might be. For that use its a great value and i have a huge excess. Notes on use for insect control: the insects need hard exoskeletons and they need to be in a dry environment. This wont kill caterpillars for example, but should work well on ants or spiders in a dry place like an attic. If you dust vegetables to control insects you will need to reapply after a rain. The water will render it ineffective. For longterm control in an attic, it cant be beat. Warnings on DE in general: DO NOT INHALE. DO NOT ALLOW ANIMALS TO INHALE. My mother raises horses and dusty feed or hay is bad for them. Adding this to their feed could harm them because of the risk of inhalation, not the ingestion. I have also read horror stories of someone dusting a cat for fleas and the cat died of pneumonia.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What exact percentage of celatoms de is crystalline silica? i want an exact number please.**
A: Permaguard website !

**Q: what is the purity rate of this product? As in, how much clay does it have in it?**
A: From Wikipedia: The typical chemical composition of oven-dried diatomaceous earth is 80 to 90% silica, with 2 to 4% alumina (attributed mostly to clay minerals) and 0.5 to 2% iron oxide.I don't think this product is oven dried. You would need to contact the manufacturer or have an independent analysis done.

**Q: How do you store it? Air tight container?**
A: Not airtight.  Store in a dry place.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ works good but has to be reapplied if it gets wet.
*by B***E on November 1, 2025*

My wife applies this stuff all around the yard to get rid of some aggressive ants and as long as it stays dry any insect getting this powder on it will die but it is harmless to birds, mammals and people (I know we’re mammals too). It makes a decent alternative to chemical pesticides but it just takes a little longer to work plus it is safe to be applied to fruit or vegetables prior to eating unlike chemical pesticides.
