[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 907126, member: 6897"] ROFLMAO....it would appear they are however, at least it is an "all natural" pesticide. Diatomaceous earth or DE as often called is simply the skeletons of microscopic diatoms which were deposited hundreds of thousand of years ago in ancient sea beds. If memory serves me correctly a lot of it is mined in Wyoming. It is mined just like coal etc....ground as fine as baby powder, and is really totally harmless unless possibly inhaled which could irritate the lungs. Under a microscope it looks like jagged glass and will kill just about any insect with an exoskeleton by puncturing the exoskeleton allowing it to dehydrate and die. Works great for fleas, ticks, flies and garden bugs but is not selective and kills both good insects as well as the bad. Make sure you buy the "feed grade" product and not the processed product which is used for swimming pool filters. Does it help your friends?? Who knows but it doesn't hurt anything .... sort of like taking sugar pills...if you think it makes you feel better then you feel better....but has nothing to do with the sugar pills. [/QUOTE]
