Safer Crawling Insect Killer (4 lb)

Safer Crawling Insect Killer is a 4 lb bag of diatomaceous earth (D.E.), a ready-to-use powder that kills crawling insects by dehydration within 48 hours. Made from the fossilized remains of microscopic diatoms, the fine abrasive particles pierce an insect's exoskeleton so it loses moisture and dies. Insects cannot build immunity to it the way they can with chemical insecticides.
