DE Pest Guard for Plants and Vegetables

Introduction

DE Pestguard is a fantastic organic insecticide. DE Pest Guard is made from 100 % Natural Fresh water Siliceous Fossil Flour and Natural Palygorskite. Siliceous fossil flour as it's known, was used very effectively for about one hundred years before chemical pesticides were introduced. Since chemical pesticides tend to leave residue in our food supply and poison the heck out of mammals, bees, fish and any wildlife they come in contact with, Siliceous fossil Flour is back in fashion in agricultural circles as it does not contain any toxic chemical. Natural Palygorskite is added with Siliceous Fossil flour for immediate action. Natural Palygorskite has needle shape structure and is a sticky material which helps to penetrate pest and get stick to them for faster action. The product has been developed together with a European Consultant for European market.

DE Pestguard is a completely organic product, derived from the fossilized remains of Diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae. Diatoms are phytoplankton, a food source for freshwater and marine animals. When they die, their skeletons settle to the ocean or lake floor and over time become thickly fossilized deposits. These deposits are mined and milled and sold as various grades for industrial and agricultural applications.

How it works

DE Pestguard makes a very effective natural insecticide. The insecticidal quality of DE Pestguard is due to the razor sharp edges of the diatom remains. When DE Pestguard comes in contact with the insects, the sharp edges lacerate the bug’s waxy exoskeleton and then the powdery Siliceous fossil flour absorbs the body fluids causing death from dehydration. Said more simply, DE pestguard kills insects by drying then up.  You'll see how drying DE is if you handle it with bare hands.

                                       
While DE Pestguard is a death sentence for insects, it will not harm you or your pets. Since DE is not chemical in nature and works mechanically, pests cannot build resistance to it, unlike chemical pesticides. DE Pestguard also offers the added benefits of supplying soil with micronutrients as it break down.

Application

DE Pestguard is useful around the house for control of cockroaches, silverfish, ants, bedbugs, fleas, crickets, termite and many other insects. It should be applied as a physical barrier that insects must crawl across to get it on them. Apply the dust liberally around cracks and crevices, under stoves and refrigerators, and in likely hiding places. Be sure to treat around sinks and drain pipes, and around windowsills, doors and other places where pests may enter. For bedbugs, apply generously to bedding (Between bed and mattress), and to the floor all around the bed. To control fleas in rugs and carpets, apply a thin layer of D.E. all over the area. Rake the D.E. into the fibers and leave overnight. When cleaning, do not make a special effort to remove the dust in the rug. It will continue to kill live fleas, repel others, and will help deodorize the carpet. Repeat it once a month or when necessary. After applying leave the dust for 3-4 days as it kills insects slowly.

Precautions

DE Pestguard is very dusty and can cause lung problems if breathed heavily, so when applying it dry always wear a good dust mask. Also wash your hands with water after application as it can leave hand dry.
