Re: Subject: OT - Flower Essences (diatomaceous earth for flea control)
Thanks Carla, I bookmarked yours and Sandi's sites. Thank you for all you and your friends are doing for the animals. Does Sandi do personal recommendations? Another good site for holistic/homeopathic care is Darla's: http://www.kitsnk9s.com/NatCAREHome.htm Sandi has diatomaceous earth for sale on her website. I think I'm going to try using it for my feral colonies, (on the ground, not in their food, I didn't even know it was ingestible). We're having a terrible time with fleas this year and I'm hoping it might help. I've heard of it before, but I'd forgotten about it. Phaewryn has posted about it before. I can't remember if there's any down side to it. Does anyone know if there are special precautions for using it? I guess I better Google it!

You really don't want to inhale much of it, but I've used it before on carpets, etc. to kill fleas. Farmers often give the food-grade DE to cattle to kill any intestinal parasites...also works well on fire ants! ;) But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.

Thanks Jen, I had heard about not inhaling it... I think that caution was why I didn't try it for my ferals before. Maybe I'll post to the feral group and see if anyone's used it and what their experience has been.

I think that precaution only applies to when you are actually applying the stuff! It's dusty, but quickly settles...heck, I've even doused a few cats with it with no ill effect...as long as you get the agricultural grade (not swimming pool grade) DE, it's okay for the cats to ingest it!
