Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a finely milled, all-natural powder made from fossilized algae (diatoms). It’s perfect for use around invertebrate and reptile setups to help control mites, pests, and excess moisture — without the use of chemicals or harsh additives.
When small pests like mites, fungus gnats, or other soft-bodied insects come into contact with DE, the fine particles:
Attach to the insect’s exoskeleton, absorbing oils and waxy coatings that protect against dehydration.
Cause the insect to lose moisture, leading to natural dehydration and death within 24–48 hours.
✅ Naturally eliminates mites and small pests
✅ Packaged in an easy-to-store 8oz container
Recommended For:
Bioactive setups, isopod cultures, reptile tanks, and mantis enclosures (used sparingly and outside of main habitat zones).
How to Use:
Sprinkle a thin layer beneath or around enclosures / feeder containers.
Avoid direct contact or respiratory exposure
This product is an effective pest control when used properly.
Moonlight Mantids is not responsible for improper use of DE or harm to your pets due to DE exposure.
