Root Mealies

14 years ago

I have been using Disdomaceous Earth from Concern, it kills

Mealies, Ants, Fleas etc. it is in powder form, like flour. It cost me $6.49 www.vitorpest.com I have used this product in my mix for the haworthia collection. It did the job, and is still doing so for the past 5 years. This is a natural product. Not a pesticide. Norma

Did you mean "diatomaceous earth"?

Good catch, I did correct the spelling but it didn't send.
I have been losing them, completely, I am surprised that one got through . Diatomaceous Earth by Concern www. victorpest.com that's better. Thanks for the correction, Norma

One thing I've always wondered about diatomaceous earth and gypsum: How dangerous is it to breath in the particles? I don't mean on purpose, just the amount of suspended dust you would inadvertently inhale while handling the stuff.
