Description Diatomaceous Earth is a naturally occurring mineral powder made from fossilised aquatic algae. It is commonly used around the home and garden as a natural, non-chemical option for supporting pest control and maintaining dry, clean surfaces in areas such as gardens, animal housing and outdoor spaces. What is Diatomaceous Earth – Amorphous Silica? Diatomaceous Earth (DE) or Amorphous Silica is the fossilized remains of Diatoms (a prehistoric phytoplankton). Diatoms extract silica from the water as it is essential to their survival. When the Diatoms die, they sink to the bottom of water ways leaving behind their silica rich skeletons. Our DE is not commercially heat treated rather naturally dried. This keeps the full integreity of the diatoms. **Not sterilised for human consumption – click here for our DE for human consumption.** Available in Grade size (80% superfine 20% up to 2mm) – Ideal for livestock or garden use – 2kg & 4.5kg size packs.
