Diatomaceous earth acts purely mechanically. The parasites injure themselves when passing over the sharp-edged shells of the diatoms and dry out.
Unlike chemicals, resistance formation is not possible.
For mites, ants, lice and others, it’s a minefield of deadly glass shards.
To combat pests, sprinkle diatomaceous earth powder into nests, corners and cracks.
A uniform, light coating should be visible on all treated surfaces.
You can also add it to litter for its deodorizing properties.
When applying diatomaceous earth, it is recommended to use respiratory protection and safety glasses.
