Does DE ever burn?

All of the liquid natural products were just tickling the white flies and burning the plants, I was putting it on at night.

No, it’s mechanical. It works like a natural glass (it is a silicate-rich natural material) by piercing the exoskeletons of bugs, and getting caught in their joints, drying them out from the inside. It’s totally inert.

Short answer: No.

Yeah that looks a bit toxic. I want to avoid something like that. Thank you!
