What is the mean particle size in µm?

Hi Julian, Thanks for your question. Our Diatomaceous earth is typically 1 to 15 microns, and the maximum particle size is about 35 microns. I hope this helps. Kind Regards, Beth

Does this work on flies and wasps? I have a 3 year old so want a natural alternative, to be used in attic

I don't use anything that contains toxins, I have grandchildren and great grandchildren, so I bought diatomaceous earth, I used it on my dog for fleas and in the garden on snails, this powder is finer than talc, so you have to be very careful not to breath this powder in , if i was clearing flies and wasps from a loft , for total safety, especially with a small child, I'd use hanging sticky fly traps from the ceiling, that would be totally safe.

How much of this do you use to kill fleas? Do you just put it on carpets or on sofas etc too and how long do you leave it down?

Hello I put table spoon in dogs daily food and teaspoon in cats daily food, I have brushed the cat outside all over his coat, I found using it daily has kept fleas at bay, cat is 11 and dog is 8 no fleas n ticks for years 👍

Can I use this to kill ants as have got an infestation at the moment?

I don't know about ants, but I used it in my chicken coop for mites and that works well
