MotherEarth Dust Product Label / MotherEarth Dust Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

MotherEarth D, diatomaceous earth powder

Mother Earth D is an all natural product. Because of Mother Earth D's mildness, it is considered safe for pets and children. It consist of 100% diatomaceous earth which is the fossilized skeletal remains of a single celled phytoplankton commonly known as diatoms. Its main purpose is to dehydrate insects through a desiccating action. Due to its absorption properties, it hinders an insect's ability to sustain proper fluid levels which will inevitably lead to death. Unlike boric acid dust that works best when ingested, Mother Earth D only requires contact to be effective. Mother Earth D is odorless and is used most when controlling bed bugs (can also be used for other insects). Works well in cracks and crevices. Mother Earth D can be used indoors and outdoors.

MotherEarth D consists of 100% diatomaceous earth which is the fossilized skeletal remains of single celled phytoplankton commonly referred to as diatoms. It works by dehydrating insects through a desiccating action. The absorptive properties of the fossilized cell-walls easily remove the cuticle outer waxy layer.

This results in the loss of an insect ability to maintain proper fluid levels ltimately leading to death. Unlike boric acid dusts that work best when ingested, MotherEarth D only requires contact with the insect to be effective.

MotherEarth D provides outstanding efficacy with twice the surface area of other typical diatomaceous earth products (69 m2/g compared to 10-30 m2/g). This means MotherEarth D has a larger pore volume weight ratio and much higher absorbent properties. This freshwater diatomaceous earth applies evenly in cracks, crevices and voids.

Please refer to and follow the directions on the Mother Earth D Product Label.
