Fertilome Diatomaceous Earth Insect Control

This powder is made of fossilized aquatic organisms that create a microscopic, abrasive dust. When crawling insects walk through it, the dust damages their exoskeleton, causing them to dehydrate and die naturally.

Yes, when applied according to the label directions, it is safe for use around children and pets. Because it works mechanically rather than chemically, it does not leave behind toxic residues.

Absolutely. It is effective in both indoor and outdoor environments, providing long-lasting residual protection wherever pests travel or hide.

Yes, moisture significantly reduces its efficacy. For the best results, you should apply the powder in dry areas and reapply it if it becomes damp or wet.

The product is designed to be applied using a duster, which helps you create a fine, even layer in cracks, crevices, and other pest-prone areas. A light dusting is more effective than a heavy pile.
