I love DE . I created a dispenser that feeds directly into my central air system. I fill it with powder and throughout the month it automatically dispenses it evenly throughout our home. I would always forget to sprinkle it on a consistent basis. It's so convenient I feel like I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Yes it is useful...How can I use this powder to kill ticks in my house...can I mix this powder in water then spray, is that effective...or can I use dry powder
Certainly! Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a natural and non-toxic substance that can help eliminate ticks in your house. Follow these steps to use Diatomaceous Earth effectively: Get Food-Grade Diatomaceous Earth: Ensure you purchase food-grade DE, as it's safe for use around humans and pets. Identify Problem Areas: Locate areas where ticks might hide or frequent, such as carpets, pet bedding, cracks in floors or walls, and other nooks and crannies. Apply Diatomaceous Earth: Sprinkle a thin layer of DE in these areas, making sure to cover the surfaces evenly. Use a fine duster or sprinkle by hand, wearing a mask to avoid inhaling the dust. Let it Sit: Allow the Diatomaceous Earth to remain in place for a few days. Ticks that come into contact with the DE will be affected by its abrasive properties, which dehydrate and ultimately kill them. Vacuum Afterward: After a few days, thoroughly vacuum the treated areas to remove the DE and dead ticks. Dispose of the vacuum bag or clean the vacuum thoroughly to prevent any ticks from re-entering your living space. Repeat as Necessary: Depending on the severity of the tick infestation, you might need to repeat the process a few times to ensure all ticks are eradicated. Remember, DE works effectively when dry, so try to keep it dry during application. Also, while DE is generally safe, it's advisable to take precautions, such as wearing a mask during application to avoid inhaling the fine dust particles. Additionally, it's essential to consult a professional or veterinarian for severe infestations or if you're uncertain about using DE around pets or children.
@@theguardianschoice Thank you so much for your valuable words....I will try....And on thing You deserve more views and more subscribers 💪 Definitely you will achieve..Keep it up
I asked this question too, but I don't understand if the product doesn't work wet (as he stated 7:30) and how am I able to mix it with water and put it into a sprayer and it still works?
7:35 so why is everyone saying I can make a slurry out of it? I brought this and I brought the sprayer pump so I can spread it throughout the yard evenly... I don't see how I can do that if the product is not meant to be wet. So if I make a slurry the product will be useless?
This guy is going to fall. He's not that good at thos point. His bike is nice, he nearly crash three times. I hope he leard from this before it's too late.
Perfect video on DE for pest control.
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for your comment
It's not good breathing DE
Will this be safe around my crawling baby? We have a rug and have fleas in the whole house. How can I use this safely?
Very helpful! Thank you!

Very helpful, thank you. I noticed an unfortunate decline in the earthworm population.
So nice of you

I assume you make a slurry, it dries down and leaves a thin layer of dust? 😅
Yes
