What is the earth of diatomy?
Diatoms (or Bacillariophycées) are unicellular fossilized microscopic algae of marine organisms that have the particularity of possessing a silica skeleton. They can measure from a few micrometers to more than 500 micrometers. Each type of diatom has a unique series of holes, visible through a very powerful electronic microscope. Diatoms can develop everywhere where they find a minimum of light and humidity: fresh water, brine and marine, but also in the ground and in the air. The deposits of dead diatoms found in the soil, are more known as "diatomy earth". The earth of diatoma is an inert and free from known harmful substances. It allows long-term protection of treated places, both inside and outside. After grinding, she looks like the talc powder.

Action of the earth of diatomy on the insect
The soil of diatomy, thanks to the specific surface of its grains and its silica skeleton is dreadful to fight against creeping insects:

1 - Ingestion of silica particles (very sharp) by insects causes lesions of their digestive tube.

2 - The finesse and hardness of the silica particles amassed by the insect's silks cause lesions on its limbs or on its shell (walking on diatoms is equivalent to walking on broken glass!). This causes insect loss of body fluids that leads to his death by dehydration after a few days. The absorbent properties of diatomy earth (up to 150% of its weight) favor this process.

And why in the form of aerosol?
If you've ever been dealing with insect invasions such as flea or bed bugs, you know that these insects are particularly interested in hiding places that are very difficult for us to access (behind folds, in the bottom of soil grooves, behind furniture too heavy to move, etc.).

If the land of diatomy to spread remains an excellent solution for the rest of the housing, the one formulated in the form of aerosol quickly becomes indispensable to deal with areas difficult to reach. Earth of aerosol diatoma Kapo Green has been formulated for this use. Thanks to its application tube, you can apply the product in the most difficult places of access.

The duration of biocide action is given for 2 to 3 weeks. To stop this action, rinse treated surfaces. Re-applies every 2 to 3 weeks.

Examples of insects you can target: Spiders, cockroaches, ants, bed bugs, parquet chips, red lice, ...

The + of the Earth aerosol diatoma Kapo Green

+ Useable in the pet environment.
+ Double effect: preventive and curative
+ Muni of a prolonging tube to better introduce diatomy in interstices and hard access spaces
+ Useable inside or outside
+ Don't stain

Instructions for use
vigorously act the aerosol until the ball starts. Spray a thin layer of diatomed soil preferably on insect passage sites, on their nest and in their hiding places. Evacuate people, animals, foods present in the room and not reintegrate them for 2 hours. The prolonger tube allows a more precise application (wall lock, parquet seal, bed foot...)Contain the pet chips and red poultry lice, spray directly into the niches, hen, cage and litter. Wait 5 minutes before the equipment is turned on.
