per item
Exclude unwanted Parasites with Paraclude Organic Powder, Paraclude is an organic, naturally-mined, mineral product made up of fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae. When crushed to a fine powder it feels similar to chalk powder to the touch, but when viewed under a microscope the fine particles resemble shards of broken glass! It is this ‘broken glass’ effect which is deadly to any insect, but harmless to animals, fish, fowl, food and humans.

Insects, mites, lice, fleas and spiders etc have a waxy outer shell (exoskeleton) covering their bodies Paraclude Powder kills insect pests by breaking down the waxy exoskeleton and then absorbing lipids and body fluids, which causes them to dry out and die. Because the product is harmless to animals, plants and humans it is safe to use in higher risk areas (such as where animals, children or food are present) and ingestion of the product by animals and birds during natural foraging even has digestive benefits!

Application Instructions:

Apply dry Paraclude Powder in and around areas which insects frequent. Paraclude Powder can also be mixed with water and sprayed on to animal housing at the rate of 4 tablespoons of Paraclude Powder to 1 gallon (4.5lt) of water and sprayed onto the areas to be treated. As the powder doesn’t dissolve the mixture should be shaken or agitated frequently to ensure the mixture is consistent. The addition of 1 tablespoon of mild detergent (such as washing-up liquid) to the mixture will help to keep the powder in suspension and distribute it further into cracks and crevices.

Paraclude can also be applied directly to poultry to control fleas and mites (seek veterinary advice first) and can be added to dust baths. Lightly work the powder into the feathers, paying attention to areas the animal cannot reach, such as the scalp. Repeat the application once a month. As with all topically-applied products, it is recommended to test a small area first, in case of individual sensitivity to the product.

Paraclude Organic Powder has multiple uses:
  • Insect control in housing and on the animal
