DIATOMACEOUS EARTH CODEX FOOD/CHEMICAL GRADE (Amorphous Silica) - Excellent for internal and external parasite control. The mineral and silica content seems to increase feed utilization. Reported to kill 75% of flies and fleas that come in contact with it within 72 hrs. Mixed with grains at a ratio of 2% keeps out pests. Diatomaceous earth works great for eliminating ants, aphids, flea beetles, fleas, earwigs, sowbugs, mites, etc. We use food grade diatomaceous earth diluted in water and painted on tree trunks to keep ants off our fruit trees. Food grade diatomaceous earth be applied as a foliar spray or sprayed in buildings or just lightly sprinkled in pest infested areas or compost/manure piles. Food grade diatomaceous earth is great for internal worming purposes for humans and animals. Helps detox heavy metals. Diatomaceous earth is a drying agent, and thus reduces odor and moisture in barns, stalls, litter boxes, etc. Feeding food grade diatomaceous earth daily to animals, it keeps fly larvae from developing in manure, noticebly reducing the fly population. Added to livestock waterers, it keeps the algae from growing in the hot summer months.
We have fed DE free choice to all livestock (goats, llamas, chickens, peafowl, guineas) for 11 years. We also put diatomaceous earth in our home made grain herb mixes that are fed daily. Most of our canines will eat DE free choice as well, though we keep it in their daily feed as well as the feline food.
DE is our #1 method of eliminating flies, fed internally to our 100 animal companions and applied daily to the barns, coops, kennel wet areas, it keeps us fly free. Woohoo!
Food grade diatomaceous earth is great for the human family members as well. Overly toxic persons might experience a "healing crisis", as their system is detoxing too quickly, so it is suggested to start with a small dose and work up to the heaping tablespoon over a period of a few days or weeks, to help avoid this situation.
