Hi,
I was wondering where I can buy DE and something to apply it with in CANADA. I have called the hardware stores but they don't seem to carry pure DE, just some insecticides which contain some DE.I also looked on Amazon, but the Canadian site didn't seem to have any DE. I suppose I could order it from the States? Any Canadians here find a good place to get BB fighting tools?!

In Toronto, I got mine at a green-friendly-type store that sells all natural organic stuff: linens, baby diapers, candles etc along with natural cleaning products. It's not a food store though. It's near the Big Carrot on Danforth at Chester.
Can't recall the name but it's right by the Book City store.
If you're not in T.O. then maybe call some 'earthy' stores?

Since it's easy to land here when people are trying to buy DE I'll just say for people not in Toronto, or rather for people in New York (Shout to the Greenpoint massive!) that I couldn't find it in any store here and got it online. Plenty of places. I think in more rural communities you can find it at a feed store, as it's fed to pigs etc. Make sure it's food grade/freshwater. (Lowes sells swimming pool DE in some places but that stuff is bad.)

I live in Canada (Vancouver) and I remember seeing it somewhere. Hmm, maybe Canadian Tire? I'll do some checking!
Come to think of it....it's NOT pure DE that I saw, just contains it.....and you want the pure stuff I believe? My guess would be home and garden stores?

In Toronto the store by BOOKCITY on Danforth is Grassroots! They even explain extensively how to apply it with a sieve because apparently bugs work in shadows they see a big thing in their way they go around it.
