IS diatomaceous earth safe for frogs?

Here is what I have found
Diatomaceous Earth General Fact Sheet

So no I do not think it will harm frogs.
I have only used it in filter media for aquariums.

Hi there thanks for that.

I did realise this substance is completely non toxic but it works on killing insects is by cutting into them and then causing them to dehydrate... hence why I was concerned and wondering if anyone here has had experience with using it around frogs. Its action isnt chemically toxic as such even on the things it kills. But you are probably right there and it is probably safe for frogs to jump on (I'd just hate to ruin my yard for them and kill my frogs due to a mistake, id quit wanting to have frogs again if I ever did that).
