MotherEarthD Pest Control Dust
MotherEarth D is a broad spectrum desiccant dust that
has been proven effective against a wide range of pests.
It is labeled for indoor and outdoor use and is an excellent
fit for sensitive accounts.
MotherEarth D consists of 100% diatomaceous earth which is
the fossilized skeletal remains of single celled
phytoplankton commonly referred to as diatoms.
It works by dehydrating insects through a desiccating
action. The absorptive properties of the fossilized
cell-walls easily remove the cuticle's outer waxy layer.
This results in the loss of an insects ability to maintain proper fluid levels ultimately leading to death. Unlike boric acid dusts that work best when ingested, MotherEarth D only requires contact with the insect to be effective.
MotherEarth D provides outstanding efficacy with twice the surface area of other typical diatomaceous earth products (69 m2/g compared to 10-30 m2/g). This means MotherEarth D has a larger pore volume weight ratio and much higher absorbent properties. This freshwater diatomaceous earth applies evenly in cracks, crevices and voids.
Sold only in a 10lb pail.
