[Cob] Fleas and ticks in sand(Udit)

[Christo Markham]

Hello just a word of caution if you choose to experiment with diatomaceous
earth where fine dust mask and eye protection. It contains high levels of
free silica which can damage lungs and cause silicosis. Try surf booties to
protect your feet? Heating the sand under plastic to 140 degrees should kill
the insects. Submerging the sand under water would probably do the trick
with a little soap in the water they should drown skim off the floaters or
cob the dead insects into the walls, can't see any reasons not to. If your
worried about eggs. If the walls dry quickly this shouldn't be a problem
either. Good luck and good cobbing.
