D.E. Flea  by Pure Vet Products is freshwater food grade Diatomaceous Earth. It is non-chemical, consisting of food grade diatomaceous earth powder.

It works in a completely physical/mechanical manner, with the D.E scratching the hard exterior of the insect and absorbing the lipids under the surface, effectively dehydrating (and killing) them. This means the insects cannot build up a tolerance or resistance to it.

The microscopic sharp edges of the diatoms enable it to cut through the insects waxy outer layer and absorb their fats and lipids, desiccating and killing them. The desiccation is facilitated by the high porosity and absorbency of the substance. 

The food grade diatomaceous earth which should eliminate fleas, ticks and mites (as well as lice, flies, bed bugs, ants, caterpillars, cock roaches, snails, spiders, termites, scorpions, silver fish, centipedes, earwigs, slugs, aphids and most beetles).

It is safe to use on bedding, the floor and anywhere else in the home. Please note that D.E. Flea kills both pests and beneficial insects, so use accordingly.

Please see in description below, how to use D.e.Flea Pure Vet Product.

Available in a handy bottle 65g and a Refill tub 200g.

HOW TO USE D.E. FLea

When "treating" fleas or parasites it is advisable to treat pet and home at the same time, to kill both adults and eggs.

Apply the dust in the same way as applying talc to their coats.

Pay attention to all areas (base of the tail, back, armpits, behind ears etc.).

Sprinkle on their bedding, the floor underneath it, the carpet, along floorboards, low lying cupboards etc.

Leave for 2 - 3 days and vacuum.

Attention for vacuums and asthmatics! Please go easy with the amount you use in the house as too much can damage vacuum cleaners and produce dust.

This is a very fine powder so for anyone with asthma or a lung ailment this could cause irritation when used in an enclosed environment.

Diatomaceous earth is harmless if ingested but should not be inhaled. Please wear a dust mask if spreading D.e Flea naturally, to avoid inhalation.

For severe infestations, it may need to be applied several times throughout the course of a month in case any have been missed. Moreover, their eggs hatch 7-21 days later, so a month will cover any adults you have missed.

If a flea problem is detected on a pet it is advisable to "treat" the home at the same time as the pet to ensure that both adult fleas and eggs are killed.

For indoor use, lightly coat a thin layer in areas where earwigs, millipedes, silverfish, coakroaches and ants are found or travel through.
