Livestock Pet, and Garden Grade Diatomaceous Earth Mined here in Australia, mainly used as an additive to livestock, poultry, pet feed, dusting pens and adding to grains for pest control and worming.
Diatomaceous Earth can be used for dusting green houses, dusting fruit, flower and vegetable crops. Can be done even on day of harvesting crops with no harm to animals or humans as it is pure and organic. Don't dust when Bees are present.
