Plant Pests:
For control of aphids, white fly, beetles, loopers, mites, leaf hoppers, and others, use Diatomaceous Earth inside your home, greenhouse or outdoors on fruits, vegetables, flowers, grains and grass, up to and including day of harvest. For dry application of Diatomaceous Earth use a duster(see above) and cover entire plant, apply to both top and bottom of leaf. For young plants, as little as two pounds per acre may be adequate. For larger plants, five lbs per acre is probably sufficient. Diatomaceous Earth will need reapplication after a rain.  Applies best when there is dew or after a light rain. It is a long lasting, effective powder. The insects can not build up resistance. Wear a dust mask when applying large amounts of it.

All livestock, Horses, Cows, Pigs, Sheep, Goats, Rabbits, Chickens and others will benefit from the use of Diatomaceous Earth. It is completely safe and nontoxic.

Some of the benefits are

Feed Grade Diatomaceous Earth can be mixed right in with the animals feed for deworming.  Feed once and check stool for parasites the following afternoon or next day. Collect stool when you find it and discard it safely. It can contain eggs and partially dead worms that can reinfect your pet or any other animal that comes by to smell it. They can infect you too so, wear gloves when handling animal manure of any kind. If you suspect that your lawn and property may be a source of parasites, you can mix DE with dry sand and apply it like fertilizer to your lawn areas. Wear a dust mask and don't do it on a windy day. Water it in after application.

Feed again if worms are still present in the stool. If you continue to experience problems with parasite infestation, you'll need to put some thought into where they might originate Another dog or place where they hang out can often be the source.

For daily maintenance on cats and dogs, cut portion by half. Small dogs and special breeds can be sensitive to any change in diet. Use common sense and consult with your vet if you have any concerns or questions.
