Nature's Wisdom DE contains Perma-guard de. PERMA-GUARD is the trade name known
world wide for using a grade and quality of Diatomaceous Earth (DE) that is
extremely pure. It was important to have a consistent shape diatom and no
unwanted sediment. The shape of the diatom must be tubular with holes on the
walls. It must be fresh water because the diatoms form a harder shell and is
less fragile that those in salt water. Salt water deposits contain a mix of
diatom species. These deposits shapes and sediments are inconsistent making them
unusable for our products. Out of 600 deposits in the US only 4 are considered
"food grade" by the FDA standards. Other food grade deposits still may contain
higher amounts of sediment and clay that make them less effective. We have
analysis of many other "Food Grade" deposits and are satisfied that we still
obtain the diatomaceous earth for our products from the purest fresh water
source.
Perma-Guard products use Diatomaceous Earth, mother natures
eco-friendly naturally organic material. Our products fit into the "living
Green" lifestyle. Actually, DE is not an earth. It is the fossilized remains of
microscopic shells created by one celled plants called DIATOMS.
Perma-Guard Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is totally organic and safe. It
contains less than 1% percent of Crystal & Silicon. Some of the uses for
Diatomaceous Earth include; household pets, gardens, flower beds, field crops,
grain storage, and livestock feeding. Diatomaceous Earth is Mother Nature's
product with no harm to the environment, pets or to people. Diatomaceous Earth
is not an earth, it is the fossilized remains of microscopic shells created by
one celled plants called DIATOMS. Diatomaceous Earth kills by physical action,
not chemical, by puncturing the insects exoskeleton and absorbing its body
fluids, thus posing no harm to warm-blooded life. Moreover, on any surface,
these natural pesticide products have a remarkable repellency factor. As long as
it is present, insects tend to stay away, making a serious infestation unlikely.
Also, the more it is used, the more an environment is created that tends to make
insects feel unwelcome.
Household: Use Diatomaceous Earth for
control of roaches, silverfish, ants, bedbugs, flies, fleas, box elder bugs,
scorpions, crickets, and many others. Diatomaceous Earth can be used in and
around the home, yard, animal housing, etc.
Pets: Our best
friends come in all shapes and sizes. Protect them with Diatomaceous Earth. When
lightly rubbed into their coats it is very effective against fleas, ticks, lice,
and other pests on pet dogs, cats, and their premises. It can also be used as an
organic wormer and will kill any worms or parasites the pets may have. When
using as a de-wormer mix the Diatomaceous Earth into your pets food. Mix well
into kibble and wet food. Ask your vet how much for your size pet.
Cats
1 teaspoon/day Kittens ½ teaspoon/ day Dogs 100lbs+ -2 tablespoons/
day 50 100 lbs 1 tablespoon/ day under 50lbs 2 teaspoons/
day Minidogs 1 teaspoon/ day
Plants: For control of
aphids, white fly, beetles, loopers, mites, leaf hoppers, and others. Use
Diatomaceous Earth inside your home, greenhouse or outdoors on fruits,
vegetables, flowers, grains and grass, up to and including day of harvest. For
dry application of Diatomaceous Earth use a duster and cover entire plant, apply
to both top and bottom of leaf. For young plants, as little as two pounds per
acre may be adequate. For larger plants, five lbs per acre is probably
sufficient. Diatomaceous Earth will need reapplication after a rain. Applies
best when there is dew or after a light rain. It is a long lasting, effective
powder. The insects can not build up resistance.
Livestock: All
livestock, Horses, Cows, Pigs, Sheep, Goats, Rabbits, Chickens and others will
benefit from the use of Diatomaceous Earth. It is completely safe and nontoxic.
Some of the benefits are; Control of fleas and ticks, stimulates basic
metabolism, converts feed better, reduces odor and moisture in barns and stalls,
results in better coat and hoof condition, keeps fly larvae from developing in
manure, noticeably reducing the fly population, reduces annual vet bills,
controls worms and internal parasites without chemicals, better egg production,
stronger eggs, and reduces overall animal stress. Diatomaceous Earth can be
mixed right in with the animals feed. Cows/Horses get 1-2 oz per day,
Sheep/Goats/Hogs get 1/2 oz per day, For Chickens and other livestock you need
to weight the feed and add 2% of that weight in Diatomaceous Earth. Your
livestock will also get the benefit of over 14 trace minerals that make up
Diatomaceous Earth.
Stored Grain: Just add 7-10 lbs. of
Diatomaceous Earth to each ton of grain as it is conveyed into the storage. When
added to grain, Diatomaceous Earth killed the bugs that were present, and
protected the grain from further invasions. Bugs could not become immune and
they were killed by physical action, not chemical.
