Diatomaceous Earth
Safe and Natural for your home and garden!There are many choices for your home and garden. However, most chemicals pose a threat to your family, pets, and the environment. Diatomaceous Earth is a natural barrier.
Diatomaceous Earth is easy to apply and long lasting. Diatomaceous Earth is so safe, it is allowed by the FDA as an additive.
How it WorksDiatomaceous Earth is composed of diatoms, which are tiny fossilized shells of marine plants. Over time, these algae-like plants form a naturally occurring siliceous compound, containing minerals such as silicon, calcium, sodium, magnesium, and iron. When ground up, these diatoms have the look and feel of talcum powder. However, at a microscopic level that is undetectable to humans, this powder has razor sharp edges.
Ultimately, Diatomaceous Earth works by dehydration. The diatom is composed mostly of air, making it ideal for liquid or fluid absorption. Diatomaceous Earth quickly absorbs fluids. Diatomaceous Earth is the perfect answer.

Why Natural is Better
Natural cost less than buying dangerous chemicals. It is also safer for your children, pets, natural wildlife, and the environment. Unfortunately, homeowners use about three times the amount of chemicals as farmers. These chemicals when found in the home are tracked in on shoes and equipment. The U.S. Geological Survey routinely finds water contaminated with chemicals used by single family homes.
