Flea treatment vs meat safety

[Joe n TN]

You can buy DE from Home Depot, and if your store doesn't carry it they can order it to the store.

Plant marigolds, 2-3 varities, and lemon balm around your rabbitry and the fleas, ticks and chiggars will stay away. Be careful with the lemon balm though, it grows like a weed. The other good thing with marigolds and lemon balm is that you can feed it to your rabbits!

I have lemon balm all over the dog kennels, and it doesn't seem to help. Perhaps I'll try the marigold.

Your Home Depot carries Food Grade DE? The people at mine's don't even know what it is. They looked at me like I was crazy when I asked about it.

Your Home Depot carries Food Grade DE?

The only DE I have seen at HD is Pool Grade, which is highly toxic and an inhalation hazard. I would check your DE, Joe, and make sure it is Food Grade.
