Diatomaceous Earth - 3kg

Product overview

Diatomaceous earth is a natural, food-grade powder made from fossilised algae. It kills crawling insects mechanically - the microscopic particles scratch their waxy coating and dehydrate them.

Because it is physical, not chemical, insects cannot build resistance to it. It is the right choice when you want something safe around children, pets and food areas.

The 3kg bag goes a long way. Apply a thin dusting - a heavy pile actually repels insects rather than attracting them to walk through it.

How to use it

Dust a thin layer into cracks, along skirting, behind appliances and around bed legs. Works slowly over days; reapply after cleaning.

1. Apply a thin, barely visible dusting - less is more with DE.
2. Focus on cracks, under beds, along skirting and insect runways.
3. Leave it in place - it keeps working as long as it stays dry.
4. Reapply after cleaning or if the dust gets wet.
