When used as a feed additive for livestock, DE has been recognized for its benefits, including optimizing animal health, controlling internal and external parasites, reducing odors, improving growth and development, and providing essential minerals and trace elements. It has been shown to have positive effects on various animals, including beef and dairy cattle, horses, poultry, goats, pigs, sheep, and domestic animals.
DE is also used as an organic pesticide, insecticide, and fungicide. It offers protection against insect pests, fungi, nematodes, and disease without the negative effects associated with chemical products. DE works by coming into contact with insects, and its sharp edges cut the insects’ exoskeleton, leading to desiccation (dehydration) and ultimately their death. It is effective against a wide range of pests, including ants, fleas, ticks, bedbugs, cockroaches, flies, spiders, and many others.
For indoor use, DE can be applied as a dust in areas where pests are found, such as skirting boards, sinks, kitchen cabinets, and behind appliances. For outdoor use, it can be applied liberally around garbage bins, windows, doors, gardens, fruit trees, and pet housing. The recommended application rates vary depending on the method (dust or spray) and the target pests.
DE also has applications beyond pest control. It can be used for oil absorption and cleaning up grease and oil spills. Due to its absorbent properties, DE can quickly absorb oil and grease, and it can be swept up and safely disposed of. Additionally, DE can be used for pest control in grain storage facilities to prevent insects and pests from infesting stored grains.
It’s important to note that there are different types of silica on the market, and not all are suitable for consumption or use in organic farming. The DE product described in your question is specifically labeled as food-grade and is derived from an organic, freshwater source. It should not be confused with crystalline silica, which is commercially produced through extreme heat treatment and is not safe for consumption or use on gardens or agricultural crops.

Caution: Do not confuse natural silica or food-grade Diatomaceous Earth with crystalline silica, which is commercially produced and can be hazardous. Always use caution and follow safety guidelines when handling DE dust.

When using DE, it is recommended to take precautions to avoid inhalation and contact with eyes and skin. Wearing goggles and a disposable mask during usage is advised. In case of contact, flush eyes with water and wash the product off the skin.
