Another Diatromaceous Earth question

About DE and bug control. Does the feed grade work for bugs even though it's not sharp? I've heard both ways.

When my chickens have had mites, I've dusted them with food-grade DE and that got rid of the problem. Also AFAIK part of the reason for it being used in stored grain (hence the name 'food grade') is to discourage weevils etc.

So I would say that suggests that yes, it does still 'get' bugs.
