| diatomaceous earth |
A fully inert, non-volatile substance sometimes recommended as an alternative to traditional chemical treatments for controlling a number of insects and other pests, including Soil Mealy Bugs. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is made from the skeletal remains of diatoms, a microscopic form of algae. When processed into DE, these skeletal remains form razor-sharp particles which cut into the soft bodies of small insects. While controlling insects, DE does not harm African Violets.
