A natural way to control fleas that is safe for pets and people. Diatom Dust is made from Diatomaceous earth. Diatomaceous earth is a powder comprised of microskeletons of deceased diatoms, which are a type of algae (both fresh water and sea water varieties occur). You sprinkle the powder on your pets and your carpets, and the fleas die from dehydration. When applied to the animal's fur, Diatomaceous earth scrubs on the hard exoskeletons of fleas. The tiny granules of silicon (think finely ground sand) work in the tiny holes of the flea's respiratory system and in the joints of the fleas. Every time the flea moves or breathes, the silicon grinds away at the exoskeleton, eventually killing the flea through blocking/maiming the respiratory holes or by water loss, as the exoskeleton helps keep in the flea's body water. It works the same way when applied to carpets instead of fur. Available in a 5 oz shaker cannister.
