I hate fleas.

I hate insecticide.

Stinks to be me, right? Wrong.

A great antidote to fleas is something called Diatomaceous Earth. Now, this is not the stuff you put in your pool It is a fine powder.

And you can use it for all sorts of things. Now, to get the best you need to buy food grade which is actually cheaper than the kind that you might find locally. Make sure that it is not the swimming pool kind, and make sure it has no additives or pesticides added. Sometimes the kind from a garden center does. You want pure, food grade diatomaceous earth. It is $22.00 for 50 lbs here and that is the best price I have seen.

It is a powder that is made up of fine, fossilized shells. It lacerates the bugs and they die from dehydration. You can use food grade diatomaceous earth for worming animals, as well as food storage preservation but we can chat about those things later. Right now it’s fleas.

In order to kill fleas you would use this as a dust under sofas, chairs and around the perimeter of your room. You could dust the whole house with it but your vacuum would get mighty clogged up. Dust the area where the dog sleeps. Most important spread it on your yard.

Now, it is great for your soil and it will not only kill fleas but we used it and didn’t see fire ants for years.

It is not hazardous to animals or humans, altho it can dry out your hands and you shouldn’t breath the dust. This is seriously great stuff.

Give it a try. And we will chat about some of the other amazing abilities of this wonder-stuff another day.
