Sir, you are NOT interested in keeping your videos efficient and to the point. You repeat yourself a lot and spend way too much time justifying and explaining yourself. I put you on fast forward and fast forward through the introduction in the name of GETTING TO THE POINT.
Only effective for insects with exoskeleton
Love your personality. Thank you for the content as well. Great!
Insects are Arthropoda
So how do you apply it???
DE works on insects that breath through their thoraxes. So the DE acts on their ability to breath. The sillca in DE acts like mini razors. It will kill most insects benign or not cause of the way the insect breaths it in.
Is Diatomaceous effective on Box Elder bugs?
NEW sub again–Sorry but U go on-on-on when U could explain it in just a few minutes. All U have to say is whether it is good to use it on this or that.
Great info. Thks
I use it in my chicken coop in their dust bath…
Between the video and the comments i dont see how people do not come away even more confused. Lol
Shoot. I used de on my blueberry tree's. I hope I didn't hurt the berries on them. They are almost turning blue and I dusted the trees like it snowed out.
De on pm lol. Ok uhhhh.
doesnt work, i watch roaches and ants run through it like its the beach, plus it gets in your eyes
You can also use ground egg shells.
Bees are arthropods.
I wish I would have known this BEFORE I bought 2 big buckets. Should I even be using this if I'm not sure whats in the garden? What about the earth worms? Is using DE worth killing the earth worms? I wish you would have shown examples of how bad an arthropod infestation looks like to warrant usine the product.
Thank you!
This video needs LOTS of corrections.
Does DE get passed down through chickens digestive system into compost and kills earth worms?
because like you said some say it does not harm worms.
Ty so much. This year's lesson for me is discovering flea beetles in my Napa. I've been spraying with neem and castile soap yesterday. Not sure if it's gonna work. May try this.
cockroaches <—- you forgot the elephant in the room
Nice shirt
grasshoppers
thank you Thank you thank you! I can't recall all the times I was reprimanded for using DE THE RIGHT WAY!
Thank You. Garden nerd here too!
Termites?
Once, I used DE on my tomato plants. Over the next few days I began seeing bees that could barely fly and eventually they died. When they landed on my tomato flowers the DE stuck to their bodies and they eventually dehydrated.
