Let me first go over the different grades of Diatomaceous Earth. The type that you get at the hardware store that you use for pools and gardens is NOT the same as the edible grade used for pets. The hardware brands cut it with toxins and sometimes pesticides, so DO NOT feed these to your pets! Plus, it is not ground as fine and can cause mechanical damage as well. However, the food grade Diatomaceous Earth is safe to put on skin and to even eat! It has the consistency of flour and is pure white.
Crushed up shells of fossilized sea critters called diatoms. You should look diatoms up on an image search, they look pretty amazing! The shells are made up mostly of silicon and is therefore mostly inert when consumed.
Key Benefits of Diatomaceous Earth:
- Pest control
- Absorbs toxins from the digestive tract
- Aids in calcium absorption
While it won’t harm a mammal, to something as small as an insect the Diatomaceous Earth is abrasive. Warning: it is also abrasive to reptiles, so do not put it on them! The DE sticks to insects that walk over it and rubs off their protective waxy coating. Once the coating has been removed, they rapidly lose all of their body moisture. The bugs literally dehydrate to death. This may seem mean, but when you have dealt with a flea infestation or bed bugs no mercy shall be had.
In order to kill bugs, simply sprinkle where the insects are found. For example, if you are trying to deal with fleas on your pet and in your house, rub DE all over your pet (not in their eyes or nose, they may cough) and sprinkle around carpets, beds, and baseboards. Make sure to get down to the skin on those long-haired breeds! DE is also an effective ant killer as well.
DE is also used for killing internal parasites, such as round worms. The DE damages the intestinal worms, causing them to die and be expelled. Simply feed a tsp or so for a week to kill internal parasites!
