Question
QUESTION: i got a 50lb bag of d&e and was looking to see how too apply it

ANSWER: Hi George - If this is the Human grade pure D.E. --( I hope)--

Diatomaceous Earth - then you can apply it onto your pet - a dusting all over - Just avoid the eyes - it won't hurt the eyes but it can be very dusty and they don't like the D.E. in the eye...

Also, you can put D.E. all around the outside of the house - to get rid of any bugs - place it inside the house ( such as under the kitchen sink???)

Also, can be dusted onto the pet's bedding - you can even put it on the carpet and then vacume up after 30 minutes.

HOPE this helps...
