You can use Diatomaceous Earth throughout the hen house or animal housing as it removes moisture and maintains a dry environment.
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 and therefore prevent damp areas where moulds and fungi thrive.
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 chemicals or pesticides (beware of other DE that is calcinated - heat-treated - and only meant for use in filtration systems).
DE was historically (for centuries) used in grain stores, for example, and on animals against external parasites like lice, fleas and mites; and also given in animal feed to aid digestion and for general good health.
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.
