Dioforce Diatomaceous Earth is a mineral of plant origin formed by the accumulation of a very large number of fossilized diatoms (single-celled algae). When they die, the thin skeletons remain, which are the hard, porous outer cell wall of the diatoms, with its main component (up to 90%), silicon dioxide, which precipitate, accumulate and form large deposits, diatomaceous earth.
- It comes from freshwater diatom deposits, selected, of very high purity, it is a 100% natural product and FOOD GRADE quality.
- It can be used as a natural product against insects – parasites.
- It is suitable for safe use in pet areas, homes, warehouses, raw material storage silos, flocks, poultry farms, stables, pig farms, crops and even in vegetable gardens.
- Applied even on or around vegetables, there is no safety period for their consumption, but only washing.
- It is non-toxic to humans, warm-blooded animals and the environment and most of the time, more effective than chemical pesticides.
- Insects and other pests do not develop resistance to DioForce Diatomaceous Earth.
- Mode of action: The way it acts against parasites – insects is by causing damage/perforation of their exoskeleton due to the particular sharp shape of the diatomaceous earth, which results in their dehydration and ultimately death.
- It deals with: Ants of all sizes, Lepidoptera caterpillars, Coleoptera larvae, leaf cutters, fleas, lice, bedbugs, mites, ticks, cockroaches, snails, slugs, spiders, termites, centipedes, flies, earwigs, aphids, and many more, without killing beneficial earthworms.
