[QUOTE="JJColvin, post: 1787736, member: 38831"] The way DE works is that it is such a fine granular particle primarily used in flour and corn mills. It’s mixed in the feed or whatever and the DE will coat the bodies of insects (weevils) so that when they move against each other it generates a heat that kills them. Try mixing it in with a big bag of feed with weevils and within a day you can feel the heat on the feed bag and see the dead weevils on top. Other than that I don’t see how it has any effect internally on parasites as it is an inert mineral. [/QUOTE]
