Natural diatomaceous earth is a drying powder for poultry and animal housing and bedding. Its physical action absorbs excess moisture and helps maintain dry bedding and housing conditions. You can use Diatomaceous Earth throughout the hen house/animal housing.
By sprinkling the DE powder in the nest boxes, bedding and on perches where the chickens roost, it will ensure that the hen house remains dry, clean and sweet-smelling. By absorbing any moisture, it reduces odour and bacteria breeding grounds, resulting in clean, dry areas where insects find it impossible to develop
DE is a 100% natural silicate product prepared from the fossilised remains of ancient hard-shelled algae from river beds, so it is totally natural. This DE is not heat-treated, and contains no added chemicals or pesticides (beware of other DE that is calcinated - heat-treated - and only meant for use in filtration systems).
We advise wearing gloves and a dust mask when using DE, as it is a fine dust and can cause irritation. Use in a well-ventilated area.
Standard delivery via courier is next working day to most mainland UK destinations for orders placed before 2pm (excl. weekends and bank holidays).
