Whitmire Micro-Gen is proud to introduce an effective long-lasting pest control dust for crawling insects. Diatomaceous Earth non-toxic dust. 100% natural product kills crawling insects.

10-oz or 10-lb container. It is labeled for indoor and outdoor use and is an excellent fit for sensitive accounts. Excellent for use around potted plants. Many landscape companies use this dust in Mall planters and other indoor planters.

MotherEarth D consists of 100% diatomaceous earth which is the fossilized skeletal remains of single celled phytoplankton commonly referred to as diatoms. It works by dehydrating insects through a desiccating action. The absorptive properties of the fossilized cell-walls easily remove the cuticle outer waxy layer.

This results in the loss of an insect ability to maintain proper fluid levels ltimately leading to death. Unlike boric acid dusts that work best when ingested, MotherEarth D only requires contact with the insect to be effective.

MotherEarth D provides outstanding efficacy with twice the surface area of other typical diatomaceous earth products (69 m2/g compared to 10-30 m2/g). This means MotherEarth D has a larger pore volume weight ratio and much higher absorbent properties. This freshwater diatomaceous earth applies evenly in cracks, crevices and voids.
