Diatomaceous earth is made of diatoms, and has been used for insect control and specifically for flea control for years, particularly because it was seen as a natural bug killer and a good source of organic pest control. It has been used as a natural insecticide for years for insect control on crops and in yards.
And of course, dog and cat owners have been using diatomaceous earth as a dog flea remedy, and cat flea remedy as well. And for good reason, since it’s a really effective flea killer for your home, too.

I wanted to see if I could debunk the myths around DE, so I did a lot of research, from what is diatomaceous earth, to how to use diatomaceous earth, to how to apply diatomaceous earth, to whether food grade DE is ideal for fleas. I am always looking for flea and tick alternatives and repellants, especially all natural tick and flea repellants, so I figured it was worth a shot. In the end, I decided it wasn’t for me, but I still wanted to share what I learned with you :)
