Description AKA Fossil Dust, our DE compound is made from the ground-up bodies of prehistoric diatomic fossils. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a form of silica that can control insects by desiccation. When in contact with a pest, the DE absorbs the waxy, oily, outer layer and the pest dehydrates. De-Gnat will control the pests as long as the powder remains. In this respect, De-Gnat is an ideal pesticide; it is residual but non-toxic. De-Gnat provides the following: Sate around people, pets, and ponds Organically sourced and refined Easy to apply Safe to use on food and ornamental crops Free from chemicals Odourless Beneficial as a soil additive Dry Application Sprinkle De-Gnat over the plants, leaves and stem base. To coat the underside of foliage, use the squeeze puff action. Wet Application Mix 15g of De-Gnat per litre of water. Spray all sides of the plant and underside of leaves. Only use the foliar application during the vegetative and early flowering stages of growth.
