Pure Diatomaceous Earth
Household Product

For control of roaches, silverfish, ants, bedbugs, flies, fleas, box elder bugs, scorpions, crickets, and many others!

DE product is registered to be used in and around the home, yard, animal housing, etc. It can be applied as a dry dust, or mixed with water at the rate of 2 oz. per quart and sprayed as a liquid.

Dry Application

DE can be applied using any equipment to handle dust or powder, whether it be hand or power operated.

Roaches and Silverfish

In most cases, general application is not needed, but one needs to give localized attention to cracks and crevices, under stoves and refrigerators, and in likely hiding places. Be sure to treat around sinks and drain pipes.
If there is an opening into the sewer line, blow a considerable amount of product into the line. Being closed, air pressure forces the dust further down the line, boating the upper half of the pipe, leaving no safe place for roaches. This protection exists as far as the line is coated.

Ants

Dry Powder: Stir the mound with a rake or other tool, agitating the ants. Apply DE dust liberally on the immediate area, contacting as many ants as possible. Repeat if needed for final results.
Wet Application: Use one-half scup of DE with one tablespoon of a mild detergent per gallon of water. Saturate the mound or bed with the entire gallon of mixture. Repeat if necessary.

Crickets, Scorpions, and Box Elder Bugs

Lightly dust areas around windows, doors and other places where pests may enter.

Fleas

Animal Application: Apply product liberally to all parts of animal, close to skin.
Rugs: Make a thin coating on the rug. Rake (not sweep) nap back and forth, causing dust to enter the rug. Leave overnight. When cleaning, do not make a special effort to remove the dust in the rug. It will kill live fleas, repel others, and will deodorize the carpet.

Flies

Lightly coat window sills so flies lighting will contact the dust. If the outside walls of the house, shrubbery, outbuildings (such as barns, stables, kennels or corrals) are dusted, flies are greatly reduced. Repeat if needed.

Outside Area

Apply 8 to 16 oz. of dust per 1000 sq. ft. of the yard. Two or three applications per year should do the job. This can be done as dry dust or as wettable powder, using suitable equipment.
