Found Animal -grade DE for sale :o}

[erthymom2]

Agway carries it in 4 pound bags in the weed killer section of the store by the Seven.
it is definitly the animal kind, not the DE that kills 'em like pool earth.
It's around $9 a bag but should last a long time if stored properly and no moisture gets into it. I plan on starting to dust my dogs, cats, and the ducks with this batch. i dusted the chickens and turkeys last week and finished my last box.

Even with shipping, it would be cheaper to buy a larger bag online.

Ouch! almost $10 for a 4 lb. bag? Look in the yellow pages for a local feed store and call them to find out if they carry food-grade DE. Most do. Mine sells 50 lb. bag for just under $20.

WAIT! Wait! Wait!

If Agway had the DE near the Sevin Dust I don't think the DE is food grade. It had to be food grade. I found it difficult to find food grade DE until I found a wonderful site on line. The site is earthworkshealth.com You can order it by the gallon jug or 4 2.5 pound gallon jugs for $23.00 the Fed Ex shipping was $14.63. They are a reliable company to work with and the 4 pack of DE will last me a very long time.

Please look at the DE you find and read the back carefully.

If I can find a 50# bag of food grade DE for $30, you can too! Google it and see what comes up for your area. I have mine shipped to me for around $20, or if I want it in a hurry, I drive the 75 miles round trip to pick it up and waste the $20 on gas.

Here is a link to my source. Even with shipping this could be cheaper than what you are buying for $10.

We just bought a 40lb bag at the local feed mill. We only paid 17.95 for it and it is definately food grade.

Anyone in my area...
