I've heard of DE for pest control, but how well does it work, and what kind of pests? External? Internal? Both?

agree, I use a pyrethrin based poultry and garden dust for external parasites and nothing for internal.It may help to keep down the mite count, but it's VERY bad to be breathing, and I won't use it for that reason. Too little gain for the damage it can do to my lungs, and my bird's. I use permethrin dust if mites arrive (wearing a N95 dust mask!) and Ivermectin for worming and external parasite control maybe once per year. It's not approved for poultry, but is very easy to use and effective, and safe enough for me. There are very few approved products for poultry, so options are limited. Mary
