Crafted from 100% natural, high-purity Diatomaceous Earth (DE), this organic dusting powder provides an exceptionally safe, non-toxic defence against red mites, northern fowl mites, lice, fleas, and crawling insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRed mite infestations cause extreme restlessness, anaemia, feather loss, and significant drops in egg production. Natures Grub solves this through physical, non-chemical parasite control. The fine microscopic sharp structure of natural silica breaks down the protective waxy outer coating of crawling pests on contact, causing them to dehydrate rapidly without risk of building up chemical resistance over time. Completely free from synthetic pesticides, it is 100% safe to apply directly to birds, dust baths, and coop housing with zero egg withdrawal period required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🐓 Why Choose Natures Grub Red Mite Powder?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🌿 100% Natural Diatomaceous Earth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure, food-grade mineral dust that dehydrates and destroys parasites naturally.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🛡️ Fast Physical Action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kills red mites, lice, and fleas mechanically, preventing pests from developing chemical immunity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🥚 Zero Egg Withdrawal Period:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic and chemical-free, ensuring eggs remain completely safe to collect and consume throughout treatment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🐥 Direct \u0026amp; Coop Application:\u003c\/strong\u003e Safe to dust lightly onto your birds, sprinkle in dust baths, or apply across roosting bars and nesting boxes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e💧 Natural Desiccant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Absorbs excess moisture in coop corners and bedding, reducing dampness and inhibiting bacterial growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e📊 Technical Profile \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e100% Natural Diatomaceous Earth Red Mite Powder\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNatures Grub\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTarget Parasites\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRed mites, northern fowl mites, lice, fleas, and crawling insects\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActive Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMechanical dehydration \/ physical barrier\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEgg Withdrawal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZero Days\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e(Safe for organic laying flocks)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume \/ Pack Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e500ml Shaker Bottle \/ Tub\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e📋 Application \u0026amp; Flock Hygiene Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Apply:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
