Product Details
Diatomaceous Earth (DE): A Natural Insecticide and garden soil improver
DE is an, organic powder suitable for the control of insect pests around the farm, home, office, or warehouse; anywhere insects are a problem. It is also a soil improver and compost additive. Cowaramup Agencies sells this versatile feed grade product in 20kg bags.
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) has multiple uses:
In the garden
- Pest Control: DE absorbs the protective coating of insects, dehydrating them naturally.
- Control Garden pests: Slugs, snails, ants, cockroaches, and other crawling insects.
- Soil amendment: Improves aeration and water retention when mixed into soil.
- Compost additive: Absorbs moisture and reduces odours in compost heaps.
It is so effective that any insect that comes in contact with DE will die in 48 hours or less. It is the formation of the actual Diatoms themselves that are fatal to insect pests rather that it’s chemical composition (as DE is totally nontoxic). The sharp edges of the Diatoms cut the insects exoskeleton and draws moisture from inside the insects.

What is Diatomaceous Earth?
Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a natural, non-toxic Feed Grade solution used by farmers and gardeners across Australia to protect plants, animals, and stored grain. At Cowaramup Agencies, we stock food-grade DE for multiple uses—so you can keep your property pest-free the natural way.
Diatomaceous earth is made from fossilised remains of tiny aquatic organisms called diatoms. It’s a fine, powdery substance that is abrasive to insects, making it a natural alternative to chemical pesticides.
