Description
Protect your backyard wildlife and livestock naturally with JCS Wildlife Feed-Grade Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.). Comprised of pure, organic, and all-natural fossilized water plants called diatoms, this unprocessed powder creates an effective external barrier that prevents unwanted parasites from climbing up your bird feeder poles or birdhouse posts. It is completely odor-free, tasteless, and features an indefinite shelf life when stored in a dry environment.
Our premium feed-grade formula is non-chemical and entirely safe around animals when used as directed, making it a superior alternative to synthetic pest controls. Beyond wild bird habitat protection, it serves as a powerful moisture absorbent and coat-dusting agent to combat pests on livestock, as well as an official anti-caking additive for dry animal feed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I apply this product to protect my birdhouses and bird feeders?
To create a parasite barrier, simply squeeze the center of the bottle to dust a two-foot perimeter on the ground around the base of your birdhouse posts or feeder poles. Reapply this ground barrier once a month. Do not apply the powder directly inside birdhouses, nesting compartments, or birdbath water, as it is strictly intended for external perimeter use.
How is Diatomaceous Earth applied to livestock for pest management?
When working in a well-ventilated outdoor area, you can lightly rub a fine dusting of the powder directly into the fur or coat of your livestock. The powder works mechanically to safely dehydrate and combat external parasites such as lice, ticks, mites, and fleas hiding in their hair.
What is the correct mixing ratio for using this as an anti-caking agent in animal feed?
For feed preservation, thoroughly mix the powder with completely dry animal feed at a precise weight ratio of 2% Diatomaceous Earth to 98% dry feed. Do not exceed this 1:50 mixing ratio (1 part D.E. to 50 parts feed by weight). For example, to treat one ton (2,000 lbs) of dry feed, you would blend in exactly 44 lbs (20 kg) of Diatomaceous Earth.
