Value for money. Not too messy. Kills bugs quickly. Review: Absolutely brilliant and very effective! - Due to the recent heatwave we had a massive outbreak of flea beetles in our garden. They were everywhere eating the plants. There were hundreds all over the windows of the house as well. I had no idea how to deal with them until I read about DE. It has lasted a few days so far as we've not had any rain and very little wind. I didn't have a proper applicator at first so sprinkled it around with a trowel and paint brush (flicked). This worked but was a messy approach, but still effective. I now have an applicator so it's very easy to apply to both plants, bushes, windows, fascias, and any nooks and crannies. It is VERY VERY effective against flea beetles. In roughly 4-5 hours I noticed them just dropping off the windows and leaves. We now have literally 1 or 2 roaming around. They have all ben killed off very quickly. It can also be used for ants and many other insects. I definitely recommend this for anyone with a flea beetle problem or other insect issue (pet safe and indoors/outdoors). ## Features - 100% NATURAL NON TOXIC MULTI MITE FEED Grade DE Powder 100% Natural mineral powder for poultry housing, chicken coops, animal bedding, pet bedding, stables, rabbit hutches, kennels, feed bins, barns, pet areas, compost, gardens and outdoor spaces and has been widely used around animal housing, bedding areas, feed storage and rural environments for 100 plus years.

Its natural properties make it a practical choice for helping to maintain clean, dry conditions as part of routine animal husbandry and environmental maintenance. - WHAT IS DIATOMACEOUS EARTH? – Diatomaceous Earth is a naturally mined mineral powder made from the fossilised remains of microscopic diatoms, a naturally occurring hard-shelled algae. When finely milled, the microscopic particles resemble tiny shards of glass and form an ultra-fine, naturally absorbent mineral powder with naturally desiccating properties traditionally valued around animal housing, bedding, feed storage and dry environmental areas. - HOW TO USE - DE can be used directly or if preferred diluted with water to create a surface spray. For best results, Diatomaceous Earth should be applied finely within required areas focusing on voids, cracks and crevices. Use directly on the affected animal bedding etc. - GENUINE ANIMAL FEED GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH – NOT ALL “FEED GRADE” DE IS THE SAME – MULTI-MITE is a DEFRA REGISTERED UK FEED BUSINESS supplying Feed Grade Diatomaceous Earth sourced, handled and supplied specifically as a feed-grade mineral powder suitable for animal feed use. Different grades of diatomaceous earth exist for very different industrial and commercial applications, and not all products marketed online as “feed grade” are feed grade!

If you sprinkle this around and then use a sweeping brush to get a dust cloud going it will get into all the nooks and graneys.. Wear a facemask when getting a dust cloud going it will protect you from inhaling it I also use straw with eucalyptus to deter the flies..hang a big bunch of herbs rosemary lavender and basil the shed will smell gorgeous and this also deters the flies. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/593863798-multi-mite-1kg-bucket-feed-grade-diatomaceous-earth-de-powder](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/593863798-multi-mite-1kg-bucket-feed-grade-diatomaceous-earth-de-powder) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
