Diatomaceous Earth - Natural Flea Control - we offer Perma Guard™ Fossil Shell Flour which is a pure, all natural, food grade diatomaceous earth. This all natural product can be used to eliminate external parasites on dogs or cats including fleas or ticks.

Diatomaceous earth is a non-toxic, safe substance made up from crushed fossils of freshwater organisms and marine life. Crushed to a fine powder and observed through a microscope, the particles resemble bits of broken glass. Deadly to any insect and completely harmless to animals, fish, fowl or food. Most insects have a waxy outer shell covering their bodies, diatomaceous earth scratches through this shell causing the insect to dehydrate leading to eventual death. For external parasites, such as fleas, you sprinkle the powder on your pets, carpets and bedding. Diatomaceous earth effectively kills ants, ticks, fleas, aphids, silverfish, cockroaches, bed bugs, carpet beetles, slugs, snails, tomato hornworm, house flies, fruit flies, red spider mites and earwigs.
