Diatomaceous Earth - DEBUG
DEBug (Diatomaceous Earth) is used to kill and control sucking, chewing and crawling insects.
It is a mechanical insect control – upon contact, the fine powder absorbs lipids from the waxy outer layer of the exoskeleton and causes the insect to die from dehydration. Great for slugs, snails, aphids, caterpillars, earwigs, beetles, fruit flies, borers, thrips and much more.
DEBug is also BioGro certified as a Soil & Plant Nutrition (Fertiliser) and Crop Management (Insecticide).
APPLICATION
Diatomaceous Earth for pest control on plants. Sprinkle a fine layer of the powder on the leaves, stems, and soil around the plants. You can use the bottle applicator (400g bottle) to apply on areas by simply squeezing the bottle.
We recommend trying to apply the powder on the underside of the leave, most bugs live and eat away here sheltered by the direct sun. Also if it was to rain, majority of the powder will still remain.
Reapply after rain or watering. This natural substance works by dehydrating and scratching the exoskeletons of insects, preventing infestations without harmful chemicals.
