Diatomaceous earth, I use that stuff everywhere. It'll help kill any kind of bug by stabbing and dessicating them. You can spread it safely on your chickens, ruffle it into their feathers.
Also good for fleas.
Sounds like just what I'm looking for. Ordered some. Thanks, fren.
Godspeed.
Just don't breath it in.
And wear latex/rubber gloves, it can give a human a nasty rash on the thin skin areas, if you catch my drift.
I dust my dogs with it too, and sometimes sweep it around the hardwood floors to get it in to the seams. I've watched fleas crawl out from the seams and jump up on to my socks before.
Use the food safe kind if you are using it on animals that clean themselves.
I need to get some of that stuff. I read that it will kill blood borne parasites and their eggs too.
Diatomacaceous Earth works on so many bugs and is the only good way to get rid of bed bugs.
Be sure to get food grade diatomaceous earth. Inexpensive but works.
