In my recent description on eating organic, I mentioned a stock called Diatomaceous Earth, or De. It's a natural And safe stock used to preclude and destroy pet infestations by home owners and farmers alike. It kills all types of insects, including ticks, ants, and fleas.
Today, I want to talk a little more about De and why it is the best natural pest preventer on the market.
What is Diatomaceous Earth?
De is nothing more than the tiny fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of little algae. This is then ground up into a very fine powder and sold as "Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth."
There is also a pool/filter grade De, but this is highly toxic to humans and pets and undoubtedly Not the De I'm referring to in this article.
How Does it Work?
You're probably wondering how in the world a bunch of old, dried-up algae can destroy Anything!
It's pretty simple, actually:
When Diatomaceous Earth comes into palpate with safe bet insects - like a disgusting, blood-sucking tick, for instance - its super sharp edges tear straight through the bug's exoskeleton. All of the water is then absorbed by the De and the bug dies of dehydration.
No chemicals needful so it's safe sufficient to use around your house, in your garden, and even On your pets as a non-poisonous pest control.
Cool!
How Do You Use De?
It's super easy.
For home/garden use, just spread the Diatomaceous Earth in any place around your premises, paying special concentration to dark, damp areas. An even easier recipe is to mix the De with water and spray the compound using your hose (just like you would with plant fertilizers).
For pets, just rub the powder directly into their fur. You can even put the De into a spray bottle mixed with water and apply it that way, if you wish.
You should begin applying De around your home/on your pets Before the pest you're trying to preclude starts showing up. For ticks, fleas, ants, etc. This normally means mid-to-late spring.
If you already have a flea infestation, De can help you get rid of it. I'll be talking about that more in a soon-to-come article.
Can You Eat It?
While some habitancy Do eat Diatomaceous Earth (I think it's used to "clean the colon" or something), this is not a convention I recommend. There is just no need to consume the fossilized bodies of prehistoric algae.
If you are eating a low fat, high fruit raw vegan diet, your colon is doing just fine.:)
Word Of Caution: No matter what you want to use Diatomaceous Earth for, make sure to buy Food Grade. As I said, the stuff used to clean swimming pools is highly toxic.
How Much Does it Cost?
The best part is that this stuff is incredibly cheap. You can buy a 50 Pound Bag for less than ! I bought 25 lbs of De last summer and I've barely made a dent in it.
Does it indeed Work?
Yes, it indeed does work. I've had two flea infestations in my house and De cleared it right up for me without any need for an exterminator.
No, I'm not being paid buy anyone to say that. I just indeed think De is a great product. It destroys pests, it prevents them from coming back, and it's completely non-toxic!
To think I used to put those horrible, poisonous flea and tick operate products on my little furry friends.
*sigh*
Anyway, go buy some Diatomaceous Earth!:D
Go raw, be fit, and stay pest-free,
