Create a Ring Around Plants - Pests in household plants and in your garden
You need to create a ring of DE around the plants to prevent them from harmful and destructive pests. Make sure to spread diatomaceous earth in an unbroken ring around your plants that might be growing in the garden or yard.
Alternatively, you can try to sprinkle or spray DE on the plants directly in the house or in the garden, particularly on the leaves. Make sure you choose the wet or dry applications of the DE when the day is dry with minimal wind when treating outdoor garden or plants.

PETS:
Diatomaceous Earth is a non-toxic way to protect your dog from fleas, worms and internal parasites. While chemical treatments often cause skin and gut problems, Diatomaceous Earth can actually improve immunity and digestion. And best of all, it's effective.
If a dog licks a small amount of food-grade diatomaceous earth, it's generally considered safe, though consuming larger quantities should be avoided due to the potential for digestive tract irritation.
Toxin cleansing
Some marketers say that diatomaceous earth can help remove toxins from the body. These “diatomaceous earth detox” claims are based on its ability to remove heavy metals from water when used as a filter.
Improving the health of skin, nails, hair and teeth
Diatomaceous earth is an effective ingredient in personal-care products such as exfoliating cleansers, foundation makeup, and toothpaste. These products make use of its abrasive (scrubbing) qualities, which help absorb oil. Its chalky texture helps provide coverage in makeup.
Because silica is found naturally in hair, teeth, skin, and nails, adding DE to your diet will improve your hair, skin, nails, bones and teeth.
