They are using food grade DE which is approved in California as a nutritional supplement for ruminant livestock -- to control parasites and provide a source of silica.
It is illegal in California to sell DE either labeled for pesticide use or for the claimed purpose of pesticide use.
Borax powder is sold both as soap with no label for pesticide use, and as a pesticide with a label displaying the EPA registration number.
