Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade

100% Freshwater Diatomaceous Earth
Great for ants getting in coop, and under potted plants in the garden
Pros: kills ants , non toxic to other animals unless its airborne
Cons: dont breathe the dust or let your birds breathe it either, can harm their lungs and their eyes (the dust) dont use on birds
I use this in my garden and around the coops but not on the birds anymore, I used to use it on the chickens and one of my hens got respiratory distress from it and has had squinty looking eyes ever since.
Use for places the birds wont get it airborne.
Pros: Easy to use. Cost effective from Amazon. Safe and organic. Great for Preventive Health.
Cons: Not carried locally at TSC. Use of mask with application but a needed safety feature as product easily puffs into air when use duster for application.
I have used this product since my chickens were 4-5 weeks of age safely in my cleaning routine of chicken coop/run and I have not had any pests. Great, safe, and effective. 100% organic.
