Product Label

Supplemental Label

MotherEarth D is a broad spectrum desiccant dust with 100% high purity freshwater diatomaceous earth for long lasting control of crawling insects. Diatoms are harmless against humans and pets and are completely natural. MotherEarth D is made of the highest-quality diatomaceous earth, lasts virtually forever if left untouched and provides long-lasting control of insect pests.

Mother Earth D should not be the only product used in the fight against bed bugs as it does not kill quick enough. For best results, use a contact kill such as Sterifab or Bedlam in addition to the dust product.

MotherEarth D consists of 100% diatomaceous earth which is the fossilized skeletal remains of single celled phytoplankton commonly referred to as diatoms. It works by dehydrating insects through a desiccating action. The absorptive properties of the fossilized cell-walls easily remove the cuticle's outer waxy layer. This results in the loss of an insect's ability to maintain proper fluid levels-ultimately leading to death. Unlike boric acid dusts that work best when ingested, MotherEarth D only requires contact with the insect to be effective.

Mother Earth D Features:

Highly absorptive desiccant dust
100% high purity freshwater diatomaceous earth
Long lasting dust provides continuous protection from pests
Easily covers cracks, crevices, and voids
Mined straight from Mother Earth for your sensitive accounts

By Sharon on September 28, 2008

This stuff is the best! I have spent so much money, like 300 dollars on stuff to get rid of fleas and nothing worked. I was ready to loose it until I received a free sample of MotherEarth D. I honestly didn't think it was gonna work because nothing else did, but it did! I puff it everywhere in my house, and guess what, I have no fleas! I don't know what to say except, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Diatomaceous Earth - GREAT FOR SQUASH BUGS

By Pam on July 10, 2010

I have been at war with squash bugs for several years. Until now, I have ended up with dead and dying squash and cucumber plants and no yield. I tried adding a bit of Diatomaceous Earth around the root area of my plants and it worked great. I am very pleased!

		Question about this product? Ask our product experts...

Can I put Diatomaceous Earth on the herbs in my herb garden?

A	Our brand of Mother Earth D - Diatomaceous Earth is not a food grade diatomaceous earth and the label does not allow it to be applied to food or herbs.

Is MotherEarth D safe to use around children and pets?

Does it hurt the pets if they come into contact with the MotherEarth D or harmful to humans and how much is needed to do the job efficiently?

Mother Earth D is an all natural product so there is no poison or insecticide present. It is one of the safest products we sell. There is no certain amount because this product is meant to be applied from a hand duster in cracks and cravices, under appliances, wall voids, etc. You should fill a hand duster half way with the MotherEarth D and apply 1 to 2 puffs in the crack/crevice or under appliances or any other areas you apply the product.

Is MotherEarth D a good product for roaches? Can i apply this product without duster?

MotherEarth D is a good product for all insects, however it does not work as quickly as using other insecticide products. For roaches the best method is to bait. This is because roaches can take the bait back into the walls where they hide and because they are attracted to the bait you have a better chance of effecting more roaches in a shorter period of time. You should take a look at our roach kit #1 which has a very high success rate. You can apply the MotherEarth D without a duster, but it is much more difficult to get the dust in cracks and crevices where you really need it.

Is MotherEarth D safe around pets, toddlers and infants?

Is MotherEarth D safe around pets, toddlers and infants? Are there any other dusts that are more safe or effective against ants, spiders and other household crawlling insects?

When used as directed MotherEarth D is one of the safest dusts to use in the home. MotherEarth D is actually made up of crushed freshwater diatoms and it works by dehydrating insects through a desiccating action. MotherEarth D does not contain any chemical insecticides. We also carry Eco Exempt D, a natural botanical oil dust that is very effective. The EcoExempt D Dust is a versatile, minimum risk product that is exempt from Federal registration because it is made from natural botanical oils like rosemary, wintergreen and eugenol. Both dusts are safer to use in homes and both are very effective for crawling insects. The main differences would be that MotherEarth D lasts for as long as it is dry and in place, and Eco Exempt D lasts for about 6 months but will also work even if it is damp.

Can Diatomaceous Earth be used in a car with roach infestation?

A	Yes, you could use Diatomaceous Earth dust inside a car, but you would want to apply it in areas that you do not come into direct contact with, such as underneath mats, in between seats, etc.

How far will an 8oz bottle of MotherEarth Dust go?

just wanted to figure out how much MotherEarth D i might need to treat my home

A	Typically an 8oz bottle of MotherEarth Dust will treat an average sized home (about 2000 sq ft). MotherEarth Dust should be applied using a duster directly into cracks, crevices and wall voids.

Will MotherEarth D kill waterbugs in my basement?

I have big, (up to 2 inches long) dark brown bugs in my basement. They look like giant roaches. These are also in my yard and on my porch. They come out alot more at night. Can I use boric acid or Diatomaceous Earth to kill them?

You did not indicate which product you were referring to but both diatomaceous earth and boric acid dust can be used to help get rid of the roaches indoors. Outdoors you should consider using a residual insecticide spray such as Cyper WP. Cyper WP is known to work very well for roach control and it offers a residual that can last for about 30 days outdoors and 90 days indoors. To help prevent roach infestations from moving indoors, apply to a band of soil and vegetation 6 to 10 feet wide around and adjacent to the house. Also, treat the building foundation to a height of 2 to 3 feet where pests are active and spray door frame, window frames, places where utilities (cables, pipes, wires) enter into the structure and other cracks and crevices.

Will MotherEarth D erridicate Carpet Beetles (all varieties), fleas & other insects?

variety of bugs, flying ants, carpet beetles , gnats,

MotherEarth D will certainly help get rid of just about any insect that comes in contact with a dry deposit of the dust, but the dust can take at least a week to kill an insect and in that time the insect can continue to eat and breed. We usually suggest using a faster working insecticide to get rid of an active infestation and using MotherEarth D as a supplement to keep the insects from invading again.

I have little red ants in my pantry. Can I use MotherEarth D around food? Any other suggestions if not?

You should not use MotherEarth D or any other dust around food in a pantry. Dusts are meant to be placed in cracks and crevices, underneath appliances and inside wall voids. Ant bait is a great choice for treating ants in a pantry or other area in your kitchen. Our Maxforce FC Ant gel is our most popular. You should first throw away any open food that the ants are eating and take away all easily accessible food so there is not any competition. The ants will eat the ant bait and take it back to their nest and feed it to the other ants and the queen. This method will eliminate the entire colony.

Is MotherEarth D food grade Diatomaceous Earth?

A	No. MotherEarth D is insect grade diatomaceous earth.

Is there an effective way to apply MotherEarth D without a duster or other applicator?

While you could try to apply the dust products by hand (wearing gloves of course), this would be the most wasteful and inefficient way to do so. You would have no way to get the dust into cracks, crevices or voids. You would also use way too much dust at one time, leaving small mounds and thick layers behind. When applied correctly using a hand duster MotherEarth D is only applied in a very fine, thin layer. Almost every customer that has opted not to purchase a duster, ends up calling us back to make the purchase after they try to apply the dust without one.
