Food grade diatomaceous earth is an excellent natural way to help control and eliminate flies. Many of us use it largely for fly control purposes. To use diatomaceous earth to lower and eliminate fly infestations, you need to do the following:

    1.  Feed food grade diatomaceous earth daily to ALL of your animals - livestock - goats, chickens, guineas, cows, sheep, pigs, hogs, alpacas, llamas, horses and pets - dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, ferrets, parrots, canaries, etc. Since diatomaceous earth is a drying agent, it lowers manure odor which consequently makes your property less hospitable to flies and other pesky insects.
    2.  Apply food grade diatomaceous earth on compost and manure piles regularly. Again, food grade diatomaceous earth lowers odor, dries out the manure making it less fly friendly, dehydrates flies that come in contact with it and doesn't make good breeding grounds for flies to lay larvae.
    3.  Keep diatomaceous earth on the floors of barns, stalls, chicken and fowl coops, as well as nesting boxes.
    4.  Many people put DE in ginny sack bags for horses and livestock to rub up against, coating themselves in it so that flies that land on them will soon be dehydrated. This also works excellent at preventing or eliminating mites, lice, etc.
    5.  Keep food grade diatomaceous earth on fresh manure, wet spots, etc. daily.
    6.  Apply on moist soil areas around dog kennels.
    7.  If you see breeding flies on manure or other areas, quickly apply DE to the affected area, so they are at least lightly covered, if not heavily covered. This will swiftly dehydrate the tiny flies nearly instantly and the flies that fly away covered in DE will dehydrate within 24 to 72 hours.
    8.  Be careful NOT to apply DE to flowers and areas where beneficial insects (bees, lady bugs, praying mantis, etc.) frequent. These wonderful beneficial insects are becoming extinct already, due to traditional toxic pesticides.
    9.  It is best to start DE applications early in the fly season to increase the chances of having zero fly loads around your home and animals. Though, the application of food grade diatomaceous earth at any time during the fly/insect season will still produce noticeable results and is definitely better than never applying it at all.

Food grade diatomaceous earth is a natural powder that works in a purely physical/mechanical manner, not chemical and thus has no chemical toxicity. Best yet, parasites don't build up a tolerance/immunity to its chemical reaction, so rotation of wormers or chemical insecticides is unnecessary AND food grade DE has NO odor.

For added fly control protection for horses, livestock, and pets, use Fly Free Food Supplement daily in conjunction with food grade diatomaceous earth.

Feeding DE internally AND treating external areas - barns, bird coops, manure piles, etc. at the same time will lower the fly population quickly.

CAUTIONS:

  • DE manufacturers who work in diatomaceous earth mines 5 days/week advise inhaling it is not a problem (tho of course, don't be snuffing it) and we have not had problems when inhaling DE in small amounts. IF you have asthma or some other lung ailment, either wear a mask or be very careful when using food grade diatomaceous earth.
  • Do NOT get diatomaceous earth in the eyes. DE is drying to the eyes, so do NOT put it out when you or your pets are down wind of it. DE is drying to your skin, hands, and feet, just as it can be to your pets.
  • Do NOT use heavily in carpet. Some advise too much DE causes vacuum problems.
  • NEVER use pool filter grade DE around animals. It can poison or kill them.
  • If you are overly sensitive and using DE inside your home, we recommend starting by applying just a small amount of DE to a small area/room of your home and/or your body to test your sensitivity to it, before using it more heavily. Increase usage as you see and feel you are not having any adverse reactions.
  • Some people experience a healing crisis (detox reaction) when beginning DE consumption. If this occurs, reduce the dose, till your body is cleansed, and then increase to the RDA.
  • Remember, DE will kill beneficial insects as well, so use accordingly.
