Perma-Guard Pure Diatomaceous Earth - Food Grade

Perma-Guard Pure Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade - (Repackaged)

Perma-Guard Pet & Animal product is licensed to be used in and around the home, yard, animal housing, etc. It can be applied as a dry dust, or mixed as a solution for lawns.

Perma-Guard's Diatomaceous Earth kills by physical action, not chemical. First by being abrasive to the insects exoskeleton and absorbing its body fluids, thus posing no harm to warm-blooded life.

Fleas, Ticks, and Lice

Lightly work the material into the hair of the animal. A light, even dusting is all that is necessary [more is not better]. Use brush or comb to work the material down to the skin. Pay strict attention to places where the animal cannot reach, such as the scalp. Dust the ears of the animal with care to avoid dusting the inner ear canal. Dust the animal's bedding and areas where the animal sleeps, as well as cracks and crevices adjacent to them. Repeat once a month or as necessary to kill fleas that hatch 7-10 days after first application. The product only kills hatched fleas, it does not kill existing eggs. Individual ticks observed on the animal should be dusted thoroughly.

Premise Application
For animals confined to a specific area infested with fleas and ticks, dust the entire area with Perma-Guard Pet & Animal Powder.

Large Application Areas
We suggest you use the Spritzer or the Dustin-Mizer for application over large areas. At the time you fertize your yard you can add 16 oz Perma-Guard Pet & Animal Powder per 1000 feet. Dust thoroughly the first time and then periodically reapply as needed.

Wet Application
Mix with water at the rate of 2 oz. per quart of water (one oz. is about 8 level teaspoons). To help keep it in suspension, add one teaspoon of mild detergent and agitate the sprayer now and then while applying. The sprayer apparatus people commonly use that attaches to your garden hose for fertilizer applications will work perfectly.
