Diatomaceous Earth

We have an extensive range of Diatomaceous Earth products. Here is a summary of our range.

Hudson DE-CIDE: A premium diatomaceous earth powder that provides a more natural insect killer without the need for harsh chemicals. It works by removing portions of their waxy waterproof membrane and dehydrating insects. In horticulture, it benefits plants and crops that require plant-available silica, and it assists in controlling insects on outdoor plants. In pest control, it's effective against small, soft-bodied pests such as ants, beetles, cockroaches, earwigs, fleas, mites, lice, snails, and slugs. In poultry and chicken farming, DE dust boxes can help control lice and mites on poultry farms. 

Food Grade DE: Our top-of-the-line, food-grade diatomaceous earth powder is a versatile, natural mineral for pets and gardens. It is popular for use on chickens, dogs, and other animals, as well as their environment, to help control fleas, lice, mites, and other insects. This particular variety is food-grade, ultra-fine, and exceptionally lightweight, offering greater volume per kilogram compared to most other brands. Its ultra-fine grade makes it more effective at killing insects than coarser and cheaper grades by increasing abrasiveness. Smaller particles have a larger surface area per gram, which can enhance their ability to abrade the insect's exoskeleton and absorb protective oils and moisture, the key mechanism that causes dehydration and death.

Bulb Duster: The black bulb insecticide duster is a convenient option for applying insect powders, such as DE. Its long nozzle allows you to apply dusts to hard-to-reach areas and keep the dust further away from the user. For better value, consider the DE and duster combo pack.

Going Green Book: This book, imported from the USA, offers numerous valuable ideas and explanations on how to apply Diatomaceous Earth in various situations. In Australia, DE insecticide registration is quite limited, so most companies are unable to provide detailed explanations on how DE can be used. This book is a great way to overcome this lack of information.
