Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade) 1kg tub

Product Information

Likewise for instances where their larvae are already present in your pots, the powder will kill them or failing that will kill the adult gnats as they try to fly from the medium once fully grown. Food grade diatomaceous earth is a natural powder that works in a purely physical/mechanical manner, not "chemical" and thus has no chemical toxicity. This DE is classed as food-grade, is not heat-treated, and contains no chemicals or pesticides (beware of other DE that is calcinated - heat-treated - and only meant for use in filtration systems). How it works within the gut of animals is not yet understood, it is able to effect the destruction of adult;t and younger and smaller intestinal parasites and thus reduce the worm burden in animals, giving them a chance to develop their own immunity.

Free From: magnesium stearate, yeast, gluten, starch, lactose, sweeteners, sugar, colours, preservatives, GMOs. Structurally in two halves – hence their name - their cell walls are impregnated with silica which builds up into large beds. Though we most often consume them taken up in plant or animal form, nearly all mammalian species engage in some form of direct earth eating to prevent nutritional deficiency. Great accessory which helps to evenly distribute the Diatomaceous Earth out from the bottle by either dusting or pouring.When insects come into contact with DE their waxy coated shells are damaged by microscopic, razor-sharp edges. Our Diatomaceous Earth is Food Grade obtained from the purest fresh water it is organic and eco-friendly. Secondly it damages the outer layer of their exoskeletons which in turn increases the evaporation of water from their bodies causing them to dehydrate.

Other ‘food grade’ DE may contain higher amounts of sediment and clay, making the fossil shell flour a grey/brown colour. We provide general information about clays and minerals which we have collected online and from various publications. Additionally, as it passes the digestive tract, it attracts and absorbs pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi.

Whilst we can no longer advertise this product as food grade due to a clamp down by trading standards (who don’t want any clays advertised this way), we know many people that love using it internally. The shape of the diatoms is very important they should be tubular with holes in the centre on the walls.
