It is NOT food grade DE at pool supply places! That is different! DO NOT USE POOL DE! It will harm or kill your chickens!

Ditto!

I remember we used to use it to control roaches so I Googled it and found this web site.

I may have to get a bag but I'll see if any of the hardware or feed stores sell it.

That's super expensive. I hope you can find it locally.

I bought some at Lowes. I asked first and the guy looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language! Then I looked around and found it. It was in the organic gardening section. So Maybe if you have a store near you that has a big organic gardening section...

good luck.

I just got some Saturday at a local organics/natural foods store.

We have a tiny feed store near us that sells it in any amount that you want. We got 25lbs for $.93/lb. I found out about it from one of my neighbors.

I got mine from them (for our rabbits, originally) from their ebay store. The permaguard distributor list only shows one in Indiana and it's nowhere near me.

Just bought a 50# bag for $14.99 at the local feed supply- grainery. Tried TSC. They had to look it up on their computer and then told me it was out of season??? Is there a season to use DE?

I just bought 40# for $12.95 at Big R, the west coast equivalent of TSC. Took a little work to find someone who actually knew what I wanted, but there it was, sitting on the shelf next to the wild bird seed...??
