The cheapest insecticide and acaricide, natural and pesticide-free
To kill insects, their larvae and eggs without any chemicals . Extremely effective in eradicating and getting rid of bedbugs, mites, cockroaches, fleas, ants, to treat fur parasites of your pets…
Coming from the depths of time and the bottom of the oceans, this marine sediment is a fine and soft powder. At first glance it looks like talc. Under the microscope everything changes: it is fossils of algae and microscopic marine organisms, extremely sharp and able to absorb 130% to 150% of its weight!
Diatomaceous earth is therefore a very fine abrasive and a powerful absorber.
These two qualities make it a very effective natural insecticide.
Insects have an exoskeleton made up of hard segments connected to each other by joints which act as "Achilles heels".
If an insect is forced to walk through a space covered in diatomaceous earth, it will feel like a field of razor blades. The diatomaceous earth will get into its joints and respiratory system, causing a multitude of cuts, and because it is extremely absorbent, like a leech, it will suck the blood out of the insect, which will succumb to its bloodlessness within a few days.
Since there are no pesticides or chemicals, there is no toxicity to humans, pets or livestock . There is also no risk of insects becoming accustomed or developing resistance. The only precaution to take is not to inhale diatomaceous earth dust.
To kill all insects and their eggs in the house without pesticides:
Get rid of bedbugs, mites, cockroaches, fleas, ants...
Partial processing:
- Fill cups with diatomaceous earth and place them under each foot of the bed : this trap is impenetrable by bedbugs.
- Sprinkle some diatomaceous earth dust into cracks and fissures where bedbugs, cockroaches or fleas could hide. For example, along skirting boards, between floorboards, under rugs and carpets, etc.
- Trap electrical outlets and the light switches that bedbugs love to hide in. Be careful! First, turn off the power. Using a screwdriver, remove the plug from the wall and place one to two spoonfuls of diatomaceous earth in the wall cavity, screw the plug back into the wall. You have just made a bedbug trap that will work for many years.
- Create your own traps : easy, cheap and chemical-free. In a bowl, mix 50% diatomaceous earth with 50% sugar. Cockroaches, beetles and ants will be irresistibly attracted to their latest feast.
Complete treatment:
For this treatment, when you spread a lot of diatomaceous earth, I recommend that you wear an FFP3 filter mask. This treatment is recommended for a room that will remain unoccupied for at least a week, three weeks would be ideal. This treatment is especially recommended for the eradication of bedbugs and fleas.
This involves spreading diatomaceous earth everywhere and on all surfaces at a rate of 20 to 30 g per m². The floor, on and under rugs and carpets, double-sided mattresses and box springs… Leave everything as it is for one to three weeks. Before returning to the room, you will need to strive deep down: diatomaceous earth dust and insect corpses.
To kill all insects and their eggs in the vegetable patch and garden without pesticides:
Recommended for organic farming
Diatomaceous earth is increasingly used in organic farming. In particular against slugs and box tree moths . By dusting your box trees and vegetable plants, without using any chemicals, you will kill box tree moth caterpillars, slugs and other unwanted beetles.
Attention : For outdoor use, Remember to protect bees and pollinators in general . Diatomaceous earth is just as effective at killing bees and butterflies! Do not treat plants with diatomaceous earth during the flowering period.
To kill parasites in livestock and pets without pesticides:
In a large saucepan, sprinkle the duck with salt, pepper and herbs… Oh no! That will be for later.
For the moment and To rid your pets or livestock of parasites , sprinkle them with diatomaceous earth. Work it into the feathers or fur down to the skin. Repeat if necessary. All insects and parasites will die within a few days. Ideal for fighting scabies and fleas. If the animal licks itself, it will rid its intestines of the parasites that are lodged there. In the United States, diatomaceous earth is added and mixed into feed as a feed supplement for sheep and cattle and the results are very positive: better animal health and fewer medical treatments.
You can also sprinkle diatomaceous earth on the floor of the farmyard, horse box or kennel at a rate of 30 to 40 grams per m2, renewable every week, until the parasites are eliminated.
A 130% effective deodorizing absorber
Much more absorbent than Sommières earth which absorbs 80% of its weight, diatomaceous earth absorbs 130% to 150% of its weight . It is used to absorb grease or urine stains on the most delicate fabrics such as silk, upholstery fabrics, on carpets and rugs. In addition, it has a deodorizing power. It is very effective in absorbing grease or oil stains on concrete or wood . The absorbent power of diatomaceous earth can be further increased by combining it with mineral spirits (F spirit). For example, for an oil stain on a parquet floor: make a small puddle of F spirit on the spot of the stain and then sprinkle with diatomaceous earth. The principle is that of blotting paper. Leave it to act for one or two days and then repeat the operation until the result is obtained.
Warning: F-gasoline is even more flammable than car gasoline. There should be no flames in the room, no candles, no gas stoves or water heaters, and no smoking.
For industry or to absorb hydrocarbons or oils after a traffic accident, calcined diatomaceous earth is used. This calcined diatomaceous earth is not usable for the uses described above.
An all-metal polisher
Very finely abrasive , it allows polishing without scratching silverware, gold, copper, chrome. Using a microfiber cloth soaked in white vinegar and diatomaceous earth, rub the object to be polished; the result is quick and perfect.
Nature is generous
