Diatomaceous earth is a complementary solution to conventional maintenance measures. It contributes to improving hygiene conditions. It helps limit moisture, which is often favourable to the development of parasites and micro-organisms.

A drying and absorbent powder for multiple uses

In animal habitats, moisture encourages the proliferation of crawling insects and parasites. Regular use of diatomaceous earth helps reduce these favourable conditions. It fits as well into a preventive approach as into occasional maintenance.

The 450 g powder format allows for targeted application. It can be used to treat various surfaces. It is suitable for small spaces as well as larger areas. Francodex diatomaceous earth thus fits into an overall, well-considered hygiene routine.
