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 as well as prevent damp areas where mites, moulds and lice can thrive.

DE is a 100% natural silicate product prepared from the fossilised remains of ancient hard-shelled algae from river beds so is totally natural. 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).

For centuries DE has been used in grain stores for example, and on animals against external parasites like lice, fleas and mites; can also be given in animal feed to aid digestion and for general good health.

We advise wearing gloves and a dustmask when using DE as it is a fine dust and can cause irritation.
