Diatomaceous Earth

Perma-Guard’s Diatomaceous Earth is a high-quality, naturally sourced mineral product made from fossilized diatoms—microscopic algae composed largely of amorphous silica—harvested from top U.S. deposits. This organic, eco-friendly material serves as a multifunctional ingredient, boosting performance across agriculture, horticulture, turf, remediation, and industrial applications.

Used widely as a soil amendment, Diatomaceous Earth improves soil structure, increases porosity and water retention, and enhances nutrient availability—helping crops thrive under dry conditions or heavy use. It also acts as an effective anti-caking agent in stored grains and feeds, helping preserve quality and reducing post-harvest losses.

A natural insecticide, Diatomaceous Earth works mechanically—absorbing oils from pests’ exoskeletons and causing desiccation, without harmful chemicals or resistance risk. It’s ideal for managing pests like ants, fleas, and bedbugs across farm, greenhouse, and home environments.

For turf managers and greenhouse growers, this product offers a safe, plant-friendly solution that enhances soil and root health. It promotes stronger burgeoning turf and healthier ornamentals while improving moisture retention and aeration.

In restoration projects, Diatomaceous Earth supports soil recovery by improving structure, aiding moisture retention, and providing a stable medium for rebuilding organic matter and microbial populations—helping degraded soils regain function.

Beyond agriculture, it’s used as a durable binder and anti-caking agent in animal feeds, improving pellet consistency and animal intake efficiency.

In industrial settings, its porous, absorbent nature suits applications such as filtration and dust control, while its abrasive form adds value in polishing and purification products.
