Organic Pesticide and Natural Insect Control

Diatomaceous earth comes out of the container like a fine powder and feels a lot like talcum powder. For insects though, it has microscopic edges that act like razor blades. When insects crawl through the powder, it is drawn into their joints and cuts through their exoskeleton causing them to dehydrate and die. Safer adds a powerful bait formula to their diatomaceous earth that when ingested will also kill them from the inside.
