Diatomaceous Earth is very absorbent and is used as a drying agent in poultry and animal bedding and housing areas to control moist areas where moulds and fungi can thrive.

You can use Diatomaceous Earth throughout the henhouse or animal housing and bedding, where its physical action will remove moisture and maintain a dry environment, which creates less favourable conditions for insects can 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 bacteria and moulds associated with chickens.

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 not heat-treated, and contains no added pesticides or chemicals (beware of other DE that is calcinated - heat-treated - and only meant for use in filtration systems).

Note: When handling any poultry and/or applying powders, however safe it is to use, we would suggest using a Disposable Dustmask to protect against dust irritation, and perhaps a pair of Disposable Latex Gloves.
