DeBug Diatomaceous Earth is used as a mechanical insecticide, due to its abrasive and absorbing properties. The fine powder absorbs lipids from the waxy outer layer of insects' exoskeletons causing them to dehydrate - there is no chance of insects developing tolerance or immunity, any chemical residues being left behind. Great for use on sucking, chewing and crawling garden insects, slugs, snails, aphids, caterpillars, earwigs, beetles, fruit flies, borer, bed bugs, fleas, ants, spiders, cockroaches, lice, silverfish and more.
DeBug Diatomaceous Earth contains no less than 91-94% amorphus Silica, along with trace minerals - phosphorous, selenium, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, copper, zinc and iron. This abrasive powder is made from the fossilised remains of ancient algal shells called Diatoms or Phytoplankton. Phytoplankton living in the waterways absorb minerals and elements from water enabling them to ‘construct‘ their tiny shells. Consequentially, the fossilized remains have captured and contain the 15 trace minerals used to form the shell. As they die the microscopic diatoms drop to the bottom of the waterways and form deposits of sediment. These sedimentary deposits are later mined, milled, dried and bagged creating Diatomaceous Earth or more commonly known as DE. It is widely used internationally for a host of industrial, agricultural and horticultural applications.
