Insects and Spiders

• Beetles
  INSECTO is an alternative to the insecticides on the market today that kill using chemicals. INSECTO kills insects physically (rather than chemically) by puncturing their bodies, absorbing the body fluids and causing their deaths by dehydration. INSECTO’s active ingredient is saltwater Diatomaceous Earth (DE, A Natural Pesticide / Organic Insecticide), the skeletal remains of plankton, which is allowed by the FDA in human and animal food products in concentrations of up to 2% of weight. INSECTO is registered (EPA Reg #48598-1) for use in the control of the major grain insects (e.g., moths, weevils, beetles, etc) on all of the major grains (e.g., wheat, corn, rice, barley, etc). INSECTO is a very fine, dry dust which attaches to adult and larvae insects as they crawl through treated grain and dusted bins; the insects die from dehydration within 1-14 days after exposure.
• Moths
  To control accessible stages of Indian meal moth and anguomois moths, apply at monthly intervals upon their first appearance. In cases of severe infestation, break up webbing with a rake before dusting and apply a second application within two weeks thereafter.
