Description
The Diatomaceous Earth Powder 25kg is a highly versatile and natural product, known for its countless applications across various fields. Made from the fossilized remains of diatoms (a type of algae), this powdered mineral has a high silica content, providing unique physical properties that make it effective in industrial, agricultural, and personal uses.
Key Uses and Benefits:
-
Pest Control: Diatomaceous earth is commonly used as a natural insecticide due to its abrasive structure, which pierces the exoskeletons of insects, leading to dehydration. It is effective against a variety of pests, including bed bugs, fleas, and mites, and can be applied indoors, outdoors, and in agricultural settings.
-
Animal Feed Additive: It can be mixed into animal feed to help control internal parasites like worms while promoting better digestion and nutrient absorption. Recommended feed dosage is typically 2-5%.
-
Soil Conditioner: The high absorbency and mineral content of diatomaceous earth enhance soil structure, improving water retention and nutrient absorption for plants.
-
Household Applications: As a desiccant, it absorbs moisture and odors, making it ideal for use in pet litter, barns, and storage areas. It also serves as a mild abrasive for cleaning and polishing metals and other hard surfaces.
