Lady Gouldian Finch Canada: D-Earth – Food-Grade Diatomaceous Earth for Aviary Pest and Parasite Control
D-Earth by Lady Gouldian Finch Canada is a high-quality, food-grade diatomaceous earth derived from freshwater diatoms, specifically sourced from North American glacial lakes. Its natural composition makes it an effective, environmentally sustainable solution for controlling external parasites such as mites, lice, fleas, and spiders, as well as some internal parasites when ingested.
This product functions through its microscopic, jagged edges that mechanically damage the exoskeletons of pests, leading to dehydration and death. When incorporated into bird feed at appropriate ratios, D-Earth provides a natural method of internal parasite management, effectively reducing the presence of worms and gastrointestinal parasites. Its dual action—both external and internal—offers a comprehensive approach to maintaining avian health.
D-Earth can be mixed into dry supplements at a ratio of up to 4%, and it is recommended to line cage and nest bottoms with the powder to prevent infestations. Application should include thorough coverage of cage corners and crevices to eliminate potential hiding spots for pests.
Precautions include: wearing a face mask during handling due to its fine particulate nature.
It is essential to use only food-grade, fresh water diatomaceous earth to ensure safety for your birds. Saltwater or calcined forms of diatomaceous earth are unsuitable due to their high crystalline silica content and associated health risks.
Product Specifications:
- Composition: Freshwater diatoms (food grade)
