He's using DE (that's what "diatom powder" is in the UK.)
What he's not doing that he should be... WEARING A MASK.
None of these powders, whether DE or Sevin are good for your lungs.

I recently used Sevin Dust for the first time (bought it at Home Depot). Worked AWESOME on the birds, the bugs were gone within hours, including the egg 'pods' (they had lice). I felt like total crap for a few days after though, I wore a mask, took breaks between every few birds(have 30) and still got quite a bit in my throat... I don't know what's in the stuff i used before but it never bothered me, I always used "Poultry and Garden Dust" before... I don't know why the Sevin got to me so much.
