Hudson Marketing Pty Ltd - Diatomaceous Earth

Pest Control

Made from 100% natural West Australian Diatomaceous Earth (DE).
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) or Diatomite is a sedimentary rock composed of diatoms, that formed in a freshwater lake over thousands of years.
Diatoms are opaline silica skeletal remains of microscopic photosynthetic algae.
Compared to other Australian DE deposits, DE-CIDE® West Australian DE is unique since it was formed more recently during the Pleistocene to Recent Ages. This results in DE-CIDE® naturally having a higher amorphous silica content.
DE-CIDE® West Australian DE's diatoms are also distinctly "boat shaped".
Independent testing has confirmed DE-CIDE® natural pest control's performance was comparable to leading DE insecticide brand.

Suitable use as a pest control against small, soft bodies insects (such as ants, beetles, cockroaches, earwigs, fleas, mites, lice, snails, slugs)

DE-CIDE® non-chemically kills insects (such as poultry lice, mites, fleas and ticks) by removing portions of their waxy waterproof membrane.
Insects cannot develop a resistance to DE-CIDE®'s natural process, compared to chemical pesticides currently in use.
The diatom structure of DE-CIDE® makes it unique and effective in eliminating insect pests.

Dry Application

Dust an even application of DE-CIDE® generously over your outdoor plants either by sprinkling or using a shaker.
Give the leaves a bit of a shake for DE-CIDE® to get into the joints of insects that are already on the plants
Ideal condition to apply DE-CIDE® for maximum effectiveness after just watering, after it has rained or early morning when there is dew on the leaves.
Use at least once a week to control insect problem.

Wet Application

Do not apply dry DE-CIDE® if rain is forecast, since it will be washed off the plant.
If rain is forecast, use wet application by mixing dry DE-CIDE® with some water, then apply.

Note: The effectiveness of DE-CIDE® will depend on the extent of infestation, size of the pests and weather conditions on the day
