PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Diatomaceous Earth works by piercing the exoskeleton of insects. The diatoms, or phytoplankton, that make up DE have tiny, strong shells made of silica, one of the hardest natural substances on Earth. The sharp edges of the silica cause hundreds of abrasions on insects with exoskeletons, causing irreparable damage. Once the insects’ exoskeletons are pierced, they dry out and pass away.
Harris Diatomaceous Earth (DE) Food Grade is 100% freshwater DE that has been ground up with no additional additives.
- OMRI listed with the Organic Minerals Research Institute - a non-profit organization that reviews products against organic standards.
- Free of chemicals and safe to use around children and pets when used according to the product label instructions.
- Bag includes a complementary powder duster for easy application.
- Multitude of applications! We encourage you to discover all of the ways to use DE.

Store Policies
Please review our store policies below on Shipping & Processing, Live Delivery Guarantee, and Returns/Replacements. By placing your order, you are agreeing to these policies. Thank you!
Changes/Cancellations:
Please note that our Live Delivery Guarantee pertains specifically to the condition of the insects at the time of delivery and does not cover instances where insects may perish at a later stage. We will exercise our discretion to assess whether your situation falls within the time frame qualifying for our policy. Factors such as the insect species, hatching time, temperature conditions, and other relevant considerations will be taken into account to determine the applicability of the guarantee. For non-hatching insects, you must contact us within 48 hours of delivery in order to be considered for the guarantee. Replacements will only be processed/shipped on Wednesdays & Thursdays.
Upon receiving your package from NaturesGoodGuys, we highly recommend opening it immediately and checking for a sticker indicating the need for refrigeration. It's crucial to carefully read the instructions included for specific storage information to ensure the well-being of your beneficial insects. We are not responsible for replacements due to incorrect storage methods.
One important thing to note is that we do not expect ice packs to remain frozen or cold upon delivery. Ice packs serve as a temporary measure to help maintain moisture and temperatures during transit.Please keep in mind that some insects may require time to adjust and recover from transit before they become active. If you don't observe immediate movement upon opening the package, this doesn't necessarily mean they are not viable. Give them a little time, and monitor for signs of activity as they settle into their new environment. Most of our insects are difficult to see without magnification.
Some species/quantities do not have multiple shipping methods to choose from because they require short transit time for viability. For those who have concerns about the well-being of their insects during transit, we suggest selecting overnight shipping. This ensures that your beneficial insects spend minimal time in transit, reducing stress and maximizing their chances of arriving in optimal condition.
1. Customer input the incorrect shipping information: If the customer contacts our help line BEFORE their order has been processed to correct an address error we will be able to perform this change for you so that you can receive your order.
