Diatoms are microscopic algae encased in a siliceous shell. Diatomaceous earth (whose active ingredient is silicon dioxide) is made from these fossilized algae ground into a fine powder. Its particles are a multitude of tiny, sharp crystals. It is used as a barrier on the ground or sprinkled on foliage to control soft-bodied pests that crawl or walk: ants, earwigs, slugs, Colorado potato beetles, and the larval stages of countless insects. Upon contact with diatomaceous earth, the insect is cut in several places and eventually dies from dehydration.

• Can be used as a barrier on the ground or sprinkled on foliage.
• Pests may take a few days to die; those that ingest diatomaceous earth die more quickly due to perforation of their digestive system.
• Apply diatomaceous earth to a dry surface that will remain dry for at least one day, but preferably for several days, as its effectiveness decreases once wet.
• Sprinkle it on the leaves or on the surface of the soil.
• Avoid flowers, as they would harm pollinating insects.
• This non-selective product can harm living organisms in the soil (e.g. earthworms); use it in a targeted manner and only as a last resort.
• Avoid using it near bodies of water due to possible drift.
• While safe for humans and pets, diatomaceous earth is potentially very irritating to the eyes and mucous membranes of the respiratory system.
• Wearing protective glasses and a mask is recommended during application.
• Do not apply in windy conditions.
• This product should be stored in a dry place, out of reach of children and animals.

Bats play a vital role in ecosystems by controlling pest insect populations, as each bat can consume approximately 600 insects per hour! However, bat populations are declining due to habitat loss. This bat house can accommodate 20 to 30 bats. To ensure they benefit fully, install it before the beginning of April, before the birthing season. If bats have taken up residence in your attic, installing this bat house might encourage them to relocate.
