Diatomaceous Earth For Flea Control

Fleas can not build up an immunity to Diatomaceous Earth as they can to chemicals.

Dust your pets with DE twice a week for flea control. Try wrapping pets in a towel and rubbing the DE into their coats for 5 mins. This helps kill the fleas and stops them for just shaking most of the DE off when you let them go.

There is no concern if the pets lick themselves while DE is on them as they will only get the extra benefits of worming from DE along with silica and trace minerals.

Dust your yard for flea control and you can dust pet kennels, chicken coops and houses, animal beds and any where you think fleas could be living and breeding.
Fleas eggs can lay dormant for a year or more until the conditions are right for them to hatch and have a meal on you or your animals or wildlife.

For an infestation of fleas you need to dust everywhere that fleas could be living. When dusting the yard etc, do so at the rate of 1 kg per 10 x 10 m2 and if it rains you will need to reapply as DE washes into the soil when watering or from rain.

You will need to dust the area and pets every two days until you have broken the flea breeding cycle.
