| As long as the DE stays dry it is an effective insect barrier. What kinds of bugs are you trying to control?

| DE will kill any insect that comes in contact with enough of it. It won't hurt your plants' leaves and it won't hurt you if you ingest it. A dust mask is sufficient protection from the DE. I have used DE in my growroom to try to control whiteflies. I don't know what the DE decomposes. Info on DE.
