Flyte Diatomaceous Earth Powder
Size
Flyte so Fancy Diatomaceous Earth Powder (DE), is a 100% natural powder. Re-sealable tubs available in 2kg or 5kg.
DE is a desiccant powder that can be sprinkled inside the hen house or on the birds, or on cat and dog bedding.
Diatomaceous Earth is very absorbent and is used as a drying agent in poultry and livestock bedding and housing areas, especially in moist areas where moulds, fungi, mites and crawling insects thrive.
As a desiccant, Diatomaceous Earth provides an effective solution to dampness and moisture within the hen house which in itself provides habitats and breeding places for moulds and mites associated with chickens.
Use regularly to eliminate these habitats from your chicken coop. Sprinkle on the birds against irritation from mites or add to feed as part of a healthy intestinal regime.
Diatomaceous Earth is a fine powder made of the fossilised remains of diatoms (a type of algae) which are found in river beds all over the world. It is a natural product and works at a microscopic level. This DE is classed as food-grade, is not heat-treated, and contains no chemicals or pesticides (beware of other DE that is calcinated - heat-treated - and only meant for use in filtration systems).
* Safe, odourless and natural
* No Egg withdrawal needed
* No Chemicals or Pesticides
* Harmless to Children and Animals
Note: When handling any poultry and/or applying powders, however safe to use, we would suggest using a Disposable Dustmask, and perhaps a pair of Rubber Gloves or Disposable Latex Gloves.
Standard delivery via courier is next working day to most mainland UK destinations for orders placed before 2pm (excl. weekends and bank holidays).

Great product for keeping red mite at bay. Better than anything else I've tried.
I always use the FSF diatomaceous earth. It works well as a dessicant and goes a long way. You can buy cheaper but I trust the quality of this one.
Good quality DE powder, use it every week after the roost clean out and in the chookles dust bath, a must have.
Great product at a good price with really fast delivery.
Our go to supplier
Bought a small bottle of DE to try on the redmite in nesting boxes. Really effective, so have just bought a large tub to keep me going over the winter.
Always use this, never had any problems with pests, keeps Co op hygienic
Ever since I have started using Flyte Diatomaceous Earth Powder my chickens have not suffered with red mites. Admittedly I pressure washed the hen house the first time, but only occasionally since.

My hens love to have a daily bathe in this powder. I couldn't do without it.
Powder arrived very quickly after ordering and in a great tub with a really secure lid. Would definitely order again.

Great price, great service and quick delivery. Delivered by DPD so kept informed where my delivery was. Will definitely be buying from Flyte so fancy again. Good quality and easy to use.

Fast delivery, no problems. Keeps the coup and bedding dry. Mites appear to be under control.
Great service as always. I have always used diatom. It is perfect for using in the dust baths for my chickens, to dust them with it and to use in the coop. I puff the this around the inside of the coop the roof top, perches etc. I have never had red mite in any of my coops. I have kept chickens for 6 years and I can honestly say I have had no problems like many with red mite etc. I always recommend diatom to everyone.
Rapid delivery of repeat order
Knowledgeable staff when seeking advice Seems to provide good back up to the Poultry Shield
very good as always Ok but early days to know how effective
great products and really solid advice on this site. Just need to rethink the amount of single-use plastic they use to pack stuff in! tub of this size is useful in all kinds of ways starting with adding it to a dust bath for new pullets
