What is Celatom® AFA?
AFA stands for Animal Food Additive.
AFA is a CODEX Food-Grade natural diatomaceous earth (D.E.) product composed of microscopic diatoms that were deposited in ancient lake beds. These diatoms are made of amorphous silica in complex lacy shapes, which promotes a high absorption capacity and makes AFA an ideal product for anti-caking applications in grain and animal feed storage. AFA is non-toxic and safe for the environment.
What does AFA do?
The benefits of D.E. as a natural insecticide for grain storage, garden, and animal use are well-established in practice. Natural D.E. powders have been used by farmers for centuries. With the increased popularity of organic and sustainable farming methods, more and more livestock and pet owners are re-discovering the natural benefits of D.E. as an animal feed additive. We cannot make claims about internal therapeutic benefits because of the prohibitive expense of the clinical studies that would be required by the government. However, many livestock and pet owners that have used AFA over the long term tell us they have experienced:
• Control of fleas and ticks
• Elimination and prevention of worms and internal parasites without chemicals
• Improved feed efficiency (more gain per lb. of feed)
• Reduced odor and moisture in barns and stalls
• Improved coat and hoof condition
• Fewer flies due to preventing fly larvae from developing in manure
• Reduced annual vet bills
• Reduced overall animal stress
Is AFA safe?
Natural Food-Grade diatomaceous earth products such as AFA are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an additive and anti-caking agent for animal feeds and stored grain, at up to 2% in the feed formulation.
What is CODEX or "Food Grade" Diatomaceous Earth?
What is in AFA?
The diatoms are made of silica. As a naturally-occurring mineral, AFA contains many chelated trace nutrients such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and others that may be beneficial in the animal's diet.
How does D.E. kill insects?
When insects come in contact with diatomaceous earth, the D.E. absorbs their protective wax coating and their shells are damaged by the glassy diatoms. This combination causes them to die by dehydration. There is no survival and no built-up immunity as there is with chemical insecticides. D.E. also does not break down as chemicals do, and the more that it is used, the more insects feel unwelcome in the area.
Can I use D.E. in my house to kill bugs?
Celatom® AFA is very useful around the house for control of roaches, silverfish, ants, bedbugs, flies, fleas, crickets, and many other insects. This can be applied as a dry dust or mixed with water at the rate of 2 oz. per quart (60 g per liter) and sprayed as a liquid application.
To be effective, Celatom® AFA, needs to be applied as a physical barrier that insects must crawl across to be damaged. Apply dust liberally around cracks and crevices, under stoves and refrigerators, and in likely hiding places. Be sure to treat around sinks and drain pipes.
Lightly dust areas around windowsills, doors and other places where pests may enter.
Rugs and carpets: Apply a thin layer of D.E. all over rugs and carpets to control fleas. Rake the D.E. into the fibers and leave overnight. When cleaning, do not make a special effort to remove the dust in the rug. It will continue to kill live fleas, repel others, and will deodorize the carpet.
For even better control of flies and roaches, liberally dust the outside walls of the house, shrubbery, and outbuildings (such as barns, stables, kennels or corrals). Repeat if needed.
