Description:

• Non-toxic, organic insecticide safely and effectively controls and repels crawling and flying insects.
• Controls insects by dehydration and by eliminating the exoskeleton and absorbing the body fluids
• Repels insects by application to infested surfaces.
• Can be used in both indoor and outdoor situations and even in sensitive areas such as food processing.
• Exempt from EPA Registration under FIFRA Section 25(B).
• One gallon of diluted (1:5) product covers 1,000 square feet.
• Non-pesticide is safe for people, animals and the environment.
• Bio-based, all natural and biodegradable with ingredients generally recognized as safe by the FDA.

Advantages:

A bio-based, all natural insecticide controlling and repelling crawling and flying insects such as fire ants, mosquitoes, roaches and fruit flies. It does not contain any hazardous ingredients like pesticide products that can cause safety and environmental concerns.

Naturalcide™ qualifies as being exempt from EPA Registration, under FIFRA Section 25(B), because it is composed of all-natural ingredients. "In 1996 EPA exempted certain minimum risk pesticides from FIFRA requirements if they satisfy certain conditions. EPA exempted the product in part to reduce the cost and regulatory burdens on businesses as well as the public for pesticides posing little or no risk and to focus EPA's limited resources on pesticides which pose greater risk to humans and the environment."

Unlike conventional pesticides which are ineffective when areas are wet or expecting rainfall, it is safe for people, animals and vegetation.

Application:

Dilute 1 gallon of product with 5 gallons of water.

Use a sprayer with a thin stream applicator. Apply liberally, covering entire infested area.

Results will be visible within 48 hours.

Re-apply as needed.

Technology Profile:

As insects become immune to a chemical insecticide, It must be increased in toxicity or totally change the chemistry of the product. Naturalcide is an exciting alternative to conventional chemical insecticides. Unlike chemical insecticides, there has been no insect known to develop immunity to it.

Insects are not built like other forms of life. Insects do not have blood vessels but rather a body cavity that holds their body fluids. If they lose as little as 10% of their body fluids, they aspire. Most insects have a waxy coating on the outside of their shell. Once this waxy coating is removed, the body fluid quickly evaporates and , as a result, destroys the insect on contact.

This mode of terminating insects does not use chemicals to poison them. Rather, it physically destroys insects by removing the waxy coating and puncturing their bodies, dehydrating the insects.
