How to Use

Apply a light dusting around the base of plants or directly onto affected foliage. For best results, use only in dry conditions and reapply after rain or watering, as moisture reduces effectiveness.

Important Information

Diatomaceous Earth works mechanically rather than chemically and may also affect beneficial insects such as bees, butterflies, and ladybirds if they come into direct contact with it. Avoid applying to flowers or areas actively visited by pollinators.

When handling, wear a dust mask and eye protection to avoid inhaling fine particles.

Whether you're dealing with slugs in the vegetable patch or aphids on your prized plants, Diatomaceous Earth 1.25kg offers a reliable, natural solution for keeping your garden healthy and thriving.
