I'm making a flea powder for my Golden Retriever and
hope to find a 'food grade' inert that will disable fleas
but not hurt my dog if he licks it off his fur.  I can use
any of these.

Potassium sorbate
Corn gluten meal    
Putrescent whole egg solids      
Sesame (includes ground sesame plant)    
Eugenol    
Sodium lauryl sulfate
Geraniol       
White pepper
Lauryl sulfate

  *  Are all these powders (as opposed to oil or liquid)?
  *  Are any lethal to insects?

Thank you,

Michael

"are any lethal to insects?"
So your tactic is to randomly list chemicals and ask until you find one that will work? I think you ought to do a little more research than that. Some time searching around Google should at least give you an idea of where to look.

A reference you can use to look up the relative safety of a compound is Material Safety Data Sheet

GOOGLE this for a list of examples for one of your compounds
msds Potassium sorbate
