Australia’s fight against invasive fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) has relied heavily on chemical pesticides, raising environmental and ecological concerns. Natural minerals like Hudson G2 attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth (DE) offer a safer, low-impact alternative, reducing chemical use, protecting waterways, and supporting sustainable pest management. Hudson Resources supports research and trials to ensure effectiveness, environmental safety, and long-term ecological p

Hudson Resources mines and supplies high-quality attapulgite clay from Western Australia’s Lake Nerramyne deposit. Manufacturers in Australia, New Zealand, and the Asia Pacific can access raw ore or processed mineral from Hudson Marketing for industrial applications including drilling fluids, catalyst supports, specialty powders, and absorbents. Quality, traceability, and certainty of supply make Hudson attapulgite clay an ideal feedstock for advanced manufacturing.

Eco Pawz CleanUp uses blended, processed attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth to naturally absorb moisture, ammonia, and odours. Safe, pet-friendly, and effective for yards, patios, and multi-dog areas.

Attapulgite clay (G2) substrate in aquarium filtration system supporting nitrogen cycling.

Learn how advanced water filtration technologies, including diatomaceous earth, attapulgite clay, and membrane systems, can improve greywater treatment and remove contaminants like PFAS/PFOS for safer, sustainable water reuse

Discover why natural mineral powders like diatomaceous earth and attapulgite clay are the most effective solution for controlling dog and pet odours. Backed by scientific research, these adsorbent powders outperform sprays and masking agents, keeping your lawn, pets, and home safe and fresh.

Odour management in animal environments including pets, poultry houses, and livestock barns is critical for hygiene, animal welfare, and human comfort. Traditional bio-enzymatic odour control formulations break down organic matter, but their effectiveness is highly variable. Mineral-based adsorbent powders such as diatomaceous earth and attapulgite clay provide physical and chemical mechanisms that consistently neutralize odours, absorb ammonia, and manage moisture.
