Where do you get DE? I have tried Coop and Tractor Supply and petsmart with out any luck- is it sold under a different name maybe???

I had good luck getting information from the Perma Guard website. You can email them directly and they will tell you if there is a distributor in your area.

Spatcher, a BYC member, sells it at a very reasonable price and he ships it to you fast.

Actually its spelled Diatomaceous Earth. I've had google correct me a few times when I was researching it.

If you do a search on this forum, you'll get lots of information. Mostly people use it for insect/pest control in both the coop and on the birds and it is also a good desiccant. ie mixed in the shavings it dries out the poop ergo poop doesn't smell so much.

Please be cautious though. Only by food grade DE
