Athea 604-1 Demise Fire Ant & Insect Dehydrator - Pyrethrin and Silicon Dioxide Powder
Demise Fire Ant & Insect Dehydrator is a powdered botanical insecticide formulation combining 1% pyrethrin natural chrysanthemum flower extract with 60% silicon dioxide desiccant and 10% piperonyl butoxide synergist that provides rapid contact knockdown of fire ants, cockroaches, carpenter ants, pharaoh ants, bedbugs, beetles, centipedes, crickets, earwigs, fleas, hornets, lice, mites, scorpions, silverfish, spiders, termites, ticks, and over 30 additional insect species. The fine white powder formulation uses dual-action mechanism combining immediate pyrethrin contact paralysis with long-term silicon dioxide desiccant dehydration providing kill effectiveness lasting up to six months when undisturbed. This ecological alternative delivers rapid knockdown through botanical chemistry while providing extended residual control through physical desiccation of insect exoskeletons.
The pyrethrin active ingredient extracted from chrysanthemum flowers provides rapid contact insecticide action that immediately paralyzes insects and triggers flushing behavior aiding complete pest elimination compared to slow-acting chemical insecticides. The botanical chemistry provides fast knockdown enabling pest control in operational facilities where extended wait times prove impractical. The piperonyl butoxide synergist enhances pyrethrin effectiveness through metabolic inhibition of insect detoxification enzymes enabling lower pyrethrin concentrations achieving equivalent kill efficacy. The powder's adherence to insect body hairs creates a contamination vector carrying active ingredients back to nesting colonies amplifying field kill through secondary exposure of protected colony members. The EPA registration number 10088-93-68562 verifies regulatory authorization for use in food service and institutional facilities. The twelve-pint case format provides convenient one-pint bottles enabling easy distribution across multiple treatment areas and facilities maintaining portion-controlled application rates preventing over-application and waste.
