Can I use MotherEarth D on clothes and shoes?

I seem to have a bird mite infestation. I am in the process of storing away clothes in plastic containers. Is it safe and effective to add MotherEarth D when storing clothes and shoes?

Answer:

MotherEarth D or other Diatomaceous Earth products should not be used on clothing or similar personal items. This dust is a dessicant and would actually cause skin irritation with any prolonged contact. Clothing can be treated for any pest in a washer and dryer, or by dry cleaning or steam cleaning.
