Formulated using FOOD GRADE NATURAL FRESH WATER DIATOMACEOUS EARTH (DE) and two FOOD GRADE baits. DE is a form of amorphous silica consisting of fossilized remains of diatoms belonging to a major group of algae, one of the most common types of phytoplankton.
HOW IT WORKS: Insects have a thin covering of wax on their bodies that helps to prevent water loss(dehydration). Knock Down Eco™ Crawling Insect Control & Killer Baited Diatomaceous Earth (DE) kills insects through internal and external cutting action which causes dehydration of the insect.
Besides the DE powder, the formulation contains two food-grade baits that attract certain insects to stay longer on the treated (powdered) surfaces and to eat the powder. When insects stop to eat the DE-baited powder, the DE particles damage the insect’s gut and water loss occurs through damaged tissue (internal desiccation). The formulation can be used as a dry and wet powder.
