Perma Guard Crawling Insect Control Diatomaceous Earth offers a natural and effective solution for managing crawling insects. This 5-pound bag contains 100% diatomaceous earth, a non-toxic, all-natural powder composed of fossilized remains of diatoms. It works by absorbing the oils and waxes from the insect's exoskeleton, causing them to dehydrate and die. Approved by the EPA for insect killing, this product is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, including homes, gardens, and pet areas. It’s a safe alternative to harsh chemical pesticides, making it suitable for families with children and pets. The fine powder can be applied in cracks and crevices, around foundations, under appliances, and in areas where insects are observed. This product is highly effective against ants, cockroaches, fleas, ticks, bed bugs, and many other crawling pests. The product is a light off-white color, and its granular size is optimized for maximum coverage and effectiveness. Weight: 5 lbs. Material: 100% Diatomaceous Earth. EPA Registration Number readily available on packaging. Always follow label instructions for safe and effective application.
