| I heard that Diatomaceous Earth will help control poultry lice. I have just discovered several of my chickens have the lice problem. How do you apply it to the chickens? Also is it harmful to cats? We have 2 cats that like to sleep in the chicken coup and would hate to hurt them.
Any help?? |

| Food Grade Diamotaceous earth might help control those lice and will not harm your cats, unless they ingested a couple of pounds. Pool Grade DE will not do anything. |
