Always a pleasure to get knowledge from you Dan. Ive been using DE for years and this stuff is AWESOME. Everything he said so far about DE has been correct. Picked up a 55lb bag from my local farming feed store.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Dan. Been using it for years but always afraid to use in garden because I don't want to harm the earthworms. Really appreciate the clarification.
This is my absolute favorite gardening channel. You are always so full of knowledge, sagely wisdom, and positivity - it's infectious!
Thank you for all the hard work and effort you put into these videos, to helps us all out. 😃
This man is absolutely awesome with his delivery and information! Thank you!
Kills spiders too. We have brown recluse spiders and I've got this stuff in every corner of the house. I don't see the spiders any more.
Did you use the dry dust? Along your baseboards?
Did u leave as a powder or mixed it and wet baseboards etc?
Thank you so so much! I always wondered what DE is in if it’s safe where it came from etc. this was a very comprehensive video and I appreciate it so much thank you very very much have a great day
I found your video on a Safer Diatomaceous Earth post, and it has this video using the Safer DE which is NOT food grade! I was fixing to put that on my dog and I decided to research it. I'm so glad I did. I don't think you meant to be representing the Safer brand as food grade. I'm adding the link so you can look at it. Thanks!
Can the Safer Home brand be used in a food garden?
I like that you even mentioned people who care about the fact “pest control” is taking the lives from those little bugs (as insignificant as some people think their lives are- it’s their only life....) I have a inner conflict dealing with these things too. I have just recently trained myself that if I see a fast moving spider in my house to kill it right away without thinking. I still feel bad but I’ve learned too many times that if I walk away to get a cup it will be gone and then I won’t be able to sleep. I’ll catch and release most any other living intruder that I can tho.
Subscribed!
Yeah, mother nature is a real bitch.
Great clarification video on this product! I've been searching about it to control the unwanted pests we have in our garden, in addition to neem oil every now and then as needed. All my hard work needs protection lol. Thanks again!! Happy gardening!
Thank you Dan. Very much needed information because I just ordered a pound of d.e. With duster. Coincidence? Yeah, probably 😃
I purchased the duster with your link yesterday, I can't wait to try it out, I'm having a terrible time with ants farming aphids on one artichoke plant and I noticed today red spider mites have infected the other artichoke. Other than the pests the plants are growing great and are loaded with aritchokes.
Thank you so much! Answered my questions perfectly!
Thank you, this is my first year with veggie garden, started it in my greenhouse and the fungus nats got bad quick. Trying DE today
Excellent information, thanks! Do you think this would be effective against termites?
Such a wonderful, helpful video. Thank you.
I just started my first garden and I have Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth here, and I figured it would be safe since you can consume it, but wanted to just make sure it would be okay first.
Confirmed 3 mins 45 ish
Problem I have is that it takes out beneficial insects also.
Thank you. Very informative talk.
Food grade is good for people too
If it doesn't work when it's wet, then how does it kill internal parasites ? or does it ?
That's what I want to know as well
It cuts them but doesn't dehydrate parasites, which is what it does to bugs with exoskeletons
He mentions that at 2:10. When it dries out, it is effective.
Thank You Dan for the follow up and breakdown.
I found some 100% DE kitty litter. I’m going to try it w my carrots to maintain moisture
Thank you Dan. I really enjoyed the info.
How often do you need to apply it? And does it harm praying mantises?
So thorough. May I use this in combination with other products like neem oil and horticultural soap?
Thank you for the information. Would this be safe if it gets to the pond where there’s a koi fish?
Appreciate this so much. I’ve got the d.e. But was unsure how to safely use.
How does it work on intestinal parasites if there is moisture.
Many farmers use it to work their animals and people can use the de as well. It has benefits and would eliminate any parasites in people as well.
How long does this take to work?
Hey, thanks for the information brother.
I do have one question; is diatomaceous earth effective on fly maggots? I have plenty on the bases of my cherry tomato plants, which are planted in raised garden beds. I noticed these pests about two weeks after I scratched in "all purpose granular fertilizer" and many flies began to hang out around the area.
Kind regards
Please answer.. I'd like to know as well
Thanks for the info, I am one of those sensitive people and have essentially let grasshoppers eat all of my hibiscus, because I was worried about the Mantis and Assassin bugs also on my Hibiscus trying to eat the grasshoppers. Unfortunately they are not doing a good enough job. Any ideas what I can apply to keep grasshoppers off them in first place?
Great info. Ordered some yesterday. Thanks
When you drink it what does it do for you when you put it in this smoothie
Will it kill vine borers and squash bugs?
Great question!!
Appreciate this share and all the others. Will it also help with greedy caterpillars?
How often does it need to be applied inside and outside the home; and does it need to be re-applied after it rains?
It worked well for a while on Roly Poly bugs, but now I am seeing lots of baby ones.
Can you use it for powdery mildew on zucchini plants?
No
How long does ot take to kill the fleas outside and inside
how about chiggers? application - saw another video where the powder is mixed with water and sprayed on the plants.
Dan what do you use in the garden soil to kill grub warms, I bought a load of compost and it's full of the grub's
Supposed to kill worms too at night. Duh gardening… might study that more cuz I love having worms in the soil!
Thank you so much .
I need a duster, were can I get one?
Amazon
Hey people we know using things that repel insects has unexpected or unintended consequences. There are insects even pests that are needed. Birds and spiders need to eat too. Just go easy and sparingly. Neem and Epsom salt are great natural products.
Thank you
Cheers!
Is it effective for wire worms
Excellent
Other than DE what about another substance like baking soda, borax etc...
It just doesn't work the same. DE is very safe. I don't even cover my face when I apply it to corners and baseboards.
What is the best liquid to mix with?
yessssss thank you so much!
Good upload
Thank you!
how about chiggers, I have a pet turtle in the back yard and chiggers are a problem
Is it effective on Japanese Beetles?
What about the microbes on the leaves that protect the plant from predator microbes and make the leave unappealing to pests insects? I know they form a film over their bodies to protect them but wouldn’t DE break that down and kill the microbes?
Does it take care of blister beetles?
This stuff sounds great. I cant wait to dust all around my house inside and out, all the plans and my cat. I'm especially happy to hear it is helpful against my arch nemesis - Whitefly
It's under is Safer Diatomaceous earth safe for cats?
Send them on to the next life. I feel like pests are born pests with the peskyness instilled to live quick lives for a reason. So help them onto the next. You are doing them a favor.
Effective for roaches in basement? Cat safe?
How effective is it on Pantry moths?
I just had a horric battle with meal moths. It took a month maybe month and a half but I won the war. What worked for me is ziplocking or vaccum sealing every type of grain. Emptied cabinets sprayed it down with vinegar. Put ceder blocks in them, still had them.. ordered cedarcide, I had this feeling they were behind the cabinets on my walls. As soon as it got here , I cleared the cabinets again and sprayed the cedar side from the top of where cabinets touch the wall and let it run down behind each cabinets. It worked! If I had to do it again. I'd spray inside the cabinets with it straight off and where they attach to the walls. It's smelly but not bad and fades soon. I still have most of my kitchen stuff in totes in my living room. No sign of them and it's been almost two months , now to start putting the kitchen back together. :)
moth traps from home depot, get an essential oil diffuser and use lavender, or eucalyptus.
Instructions on how to use
I dont have heart for bugs eating my plants.
Would it dry out the skin of your pets?
well done
WOW Dan
👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
I have an abundance of ground bees! Wondering if I should use d.e.
I’d apply it wet to dogs and cats and as soon as it’s dry wash it off with water
It only works on fleas etc if it's dry. I do think making a spray and spraying it on the animals and letting it dry is a great idea, less worries about the animals inhaling the powder but if you don't leave it on after it dries , I doubt you would make a dent in fleas.
@@lorilockwood4323 it works fine once it's dry. However, you don't need to go to all that trouble. Just get a small handful of the stuff and rub it into their belly hairs. That's it.
Prevent ants 🐜 mint works great 👍, prevent slug 🐌 dry coffee ☕️ ground works great 👍, prevent masquitos lavender works great 👍. For masquitos just simply put a lavender leaves or flowers on the chest pocket, they don’t bite you anymore. If they still do, then your body heat might be too high.
For indoor flies, to be honest, I never have that problems because I collect my urine indoor to fertilize my garden and plants 🌱 love it, and guess what, those indoor flies love my pee as well they fly into it to drown themselves, no idea why but it works, I fertilize with my urine in a daily basis so there’s no smell problems at all.
Any suggestions for pantry moths?
Trying the urine
Fire ant will make a nest in your mint.
So does it kill. Parasites in dogs
It harms ALL insects so please don’t overuse this
I draw the line at squirrels. I asked for a super soaker for christmas one year to shoot them.
