I have DE and used it in the attic--seems to be working! I really try to live with my 8 legged friends--if they stay outside. They actually will not stay if there is no food source and they really control the fly issue. Remember I live in a town with SEVERAL dairies--we have a few flies. I also have a cat that loves a spider chase. The DE is helping to eliminate the spiders--and allowing my family to sleep! Deuter got one last night in the living room--he bats the thing around a little. Hubby ruined his fun and killed the spider. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25927/page/2#post-514046 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:35:41 +0000 GreatDane 514046@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Nooo, no more devices for you, WWM!!!</p> <p>Go peruse the thread with new Bobby/Milo pics I started because you complained only FB got to see them. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25927/page/2#post-514045 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:34:20 +0000 SoxsMom 514045@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I am just a worry wart--you know that! Not to mention I watched Law and Order SVU--a girl cut with a knife died of MRSA. She didn't show signs until 48 hours later at the Grand Jury hearing and she keeled over and died in the hospital a few hours later. Then again MRSA is most often found in hospitals--so this is a no win for me!</p> <p>Do we need to have an Amazon intervention by the way? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25935#post-514044 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:33:53 +0000 2 Popoki 514044@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>JF - so sorry for the loss of Jasper.<br /> Jasper - RIP</p> <p>Note to self: stop reading Emma's stories at work. *wipes tears before anyone sees her* As usual Emma, beautiful ! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25933#post-514043 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:28:11 +0000 WillowandWindismom 514043@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>GASP!!!!!

There's nothing to suture since I sliced the tip of my finger off. And I had a tetanus shot last November when I fell off of my bike and had to get 8 stitches. The only thing he could do would be to ask us how deep fried finger tastes, I guess. But I will watch for signs of infection.</p> <p>*peruses Amazon for other sharp kitchen devices......* </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25935#post-514041 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:23:45 +0000 cricketsmama 514041@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>((JF)) I am so sorry about Jasper.

He sounded like an amazing little guy. My Bomber, Skimble, Willie, Mandy, Boo and Casper will be there waiting to play.</p> <p>How wonderful that you have gotten Jackson and a friend for Jenna. It will ease her grief and I think yours, too.</p> <p>{{{{{{{{{{{{{Jasper}}}}}}}}}}}}} {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{JF}}}}}}}}}}}}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25935#post-514038 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:10:04 +0000 Emma 514038@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The little ferret sits upright and pats the Wolf on his nose.</p> <p>No response.</p> <p>Jasper considers another pat.</p> <p>Suddenly the golden eyes open, and Jasper gazes into their depths. </p> <p>"I knew you were in there!" exclaims Jasper, leaning over the great creature's snout.</p> <p>"Jasper, you have absolutely no fear," smiles the Wolf at his small friend. Resting his head on his paws, he blinks and sighs. Jasper has come to the Meadow this morning, and everyone knows it.</p> <p>In the short time he has been here, Jasper has fallen into the Brook, gotten hauled out of the Brook by Hillies, and washed by Mama Kitty. </p> <p>He has gone for a ride on Bruno, a large Old English sheep dog who happens to be very fond of ferrets. </p> <p>Just a few minutes ago he was scolded by the Siamese Patrol for not showing them proper respect. However, Shaddo and Jiggs were able to make him completely happy by telling Jasper not to pay too much attention to them. </p> <p>"Jasper, you've missed your afternoon nap," calls Mama Cat, walking up the knoll toward the two friends. </p> <p>"And it shows," murmurs the Wolf.</p> <p>"Did you disturb the Wolf?" asks Jasper's new mama. "You shouldn't do that."</p> <p>"Yes, you really shouldn't, dear friend," says the Wolf.</p> <p>Jasper backs away quickly, eyes wide. The Wolf smiles warmly and pulls Jasper close to him. Giggling with relief, the little ferret curls up next to the Wolf's muzzle.</p> <p>"I will be a good boy, like my mama used to say I should be." The little fellow blinks back tears, and he buries his head in the Wolf's fur. "I miss her! Oh, Wolf, I miss her!"</p> <p>"And you will see her again," and the Wolf cradles the little scrap of fur. Jasper's tears come fast, and the Wolf holds him close to his heart, whispering comfort to him.</p> <p>"You will see her, Jasper," assures the Mama Cat, who kisses him softly. "But later."</p> <p>The Mama Cat begins to wash Jasper again. The Wolf nods to the sweet cat. Jasper's cries soften, and he sighs raggedly. He calms down, and his bright eyes droop as he rests next to the Wolf.</p> <p>Lulled by his new mama's purrs, Jasper begins to doze off. Mama Cat curls around him, and they both sleep in the peace and quiet of the afternoon.</p> <p>Another new friend has come to the Meadow. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25936#post-514037 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:07:32 +0000 jeankit 514037@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Aw, luv Cocoa's guard hair...Cutie patootie patrol X's 5....thanks Cheri! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25936#post-514036 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:00:05 +0000 Kilroy 514036@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>They are all adorable, and the pic of the 2 orangies hugging made my head explode.

Does the label have instructions for use as a pool filter?</p> <p>Food Grade should say "Food Grade" on the label. Other grades are courser and may have additives such as chlorine for pool use. If it is 100% DE you should be ok.</p> <p>I found a bit more information here</p> <p><a href="http://www.uk.gardenweb.com/forums/load/ukgard/msg0915440030009.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.uk.gardenweb.com/forums/load/ukgard/msg0915440030009.html</a></p> <p>baalmaiden -<br /> Have used it for years, and never thought about it's make-up until your thread - Thank you.<br /> Found out this though, "Make sure the DE you use is AMORPHOUS DIATOMACEOUS EARTH (ADE). In an article on DE in COMMON SENSE PEST CONTROL QUARTERLY, published by BIRC, Volume III, Number 1, Winter 1987, the matter of safety is explored. We quote:</p> <p>"Both swimming pool grade and natural diatomaceous earth come from the same fossil sources but they are processed differently. The natural grades are mined, dried, ground, sled and bagged. The pool grade is chemically treated and partially melted and consequently contains crystalline silica which can be a respiratory hazard. Thus, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT ONLY NATURAL DIATOMACEOUS EARTH BE USED FOR INSECT CONTROL. This noncrystalline silica is not a hazard as the human body apparently can dissolve it. "</p> <p>"Silicosis refers to lung contamination and irritation by crystalline of free silica (Si02). Crystalline describes the orientation of the Si02 molecules which occur in a fixed pattern in contrast to the non periodic, random molecular arrangement defined as amorphous. Exposure to free silica is an occupational hazard to workers. "</p> <p>Step Two:</p> <p>Make sure the DE you use meets World Health Organization (WHO) safety standards. WHO cautions that DE with a crystalline silica content over three percent (3%) is dangerous for ingestion by humans or animals. Safe Solutions, Inc. DE has less than 1% free silica. Swimming pool DE ranges from 60% to 70% free silica."<br /> Found it here: <a href="http://www.safe2use.com/safe-products/diatomaceous/diatomaceous_Earth.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.safe2use.com/safe-products/diatomaceous/diatomaceous_Earth.htm</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25921#post-514034 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 11:52:49 +0000 Karenopa 514034@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>That's very cool Gini!
