1 x 10kg Diatomite Fines 1 x Inner Liner Bag 1 x Cardboard Box 1 x Instructions   Diatomite Fines 10kgs is a naturally occurring rock made from millions of dead Diatoms (hard-shelled algae) that have fossilised over time.   See the below article for further information. This grade is powder form that is soft and fluffy.  You do not need to grind it further into a powder as you can do with the larger size Diatomaceous Earth .2mm to .6mm.  It is the super fine grade that is achieved in the commercial process.  It can be used for pest control, plant growth or storing seeds as it retains moisture keeping your seeds dry and pest free the organic way.  if applies in your garden around ants nests for instance it will need to be reapplied after the rain as it will disapper into the soil with rain. Can also be used in the dust bowl for your chickens to reduce lice and parasites in their food. Some people take it internationally and swear by it.  There is no scientific evidence to suggest it is of any health benefit but there is plenty of anectodal evidence from those people who use it to improve their health.  So I can't recommend you use it medicianally.  It is up to you. I did nearly kill my cat with it when I rubbed it into his skin to kill the fleas.  it dried out his skin which then became susceptible to flees. So it had the opposite effect of what I was trying to achiee.  So use carefully on pets and don't rub it into their skin. it is great around the walls or corners of your house to deter ants and under the house on beam in low lying houses. To destroy an ant nest simply put a circle around the ant hole and sprinkly some inside the hole as well if you like.  Works a treat. I have never tried it with fire ants but I can't see how it wouldn't work.  So if you do have an issue with fire ants let us know if you tried the DE to kill the ants and did it work?
