Diatomaceous Earth ( Tick and Flea Prevention)

Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a natural, chemical-free powder that can be used to get rid of ticks. DE is made from fossilised diatoms, small aquatic organisms. It's safe for humans and pets, and is considered an effective way to get rid of pests organically. Its sharp edges are abrasive, speeding up the process.”

Simply put, it kills fleas and ticks by causing cuts their skin as they crawl over the powder, which causes them to dehydrate and die. Diatomaceous earth kills other pests, too, including ants, cockroaches, slugs, grubs, bed bugs, larvae, maggots and more. It can be used in the garden too - as ticks and fleas hide out in the garden in plants and grasses.
