Pest Killer 100gram Diatomaceous Earth crawling insect killer food grade, industrial pest control

Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that is easily crumbled into a fine white or off-white powder. It is made up primarily of the fossilized remains of diatoms, which are microscopic, aquatic organisms with silica-based cell walls. Diatomaceous earth is known for its abrasive, absorbent, and filtering properties, as well as its high silica content.

Food-grade: Safe for consumption and used in food storage, pest control, and as a health supplement for humans and animals.

Uses of Diatomaceous Earth:

Pest Control: Acts as a natural insecticide by damaging the exoskeletons of insects, leading to dehydration and death.

Health Supplement: Food-grade DE is sometimes used as a source of silica for bone and joint health or as a detox agent.

Filtration: Used in water filtration systems, swimming pools, and brewing processes.

Agriculture: Applied as a soil amendment or natural pest deterrent.

Cleaning Products: Its abrasive nature makes it useful in polishes, scrubs, and toothpaste.

Safety Considerations: While food-grade DE is generally safe when used correctly, inhaling fine DE dust, especially from industrial-grade products, can cause respiratory irritation or long-term health issues due to its crystalline silica content. Always use appropriate protective equipment when handling it.
