Athea 604 Demise Fire Ant & Insect Dehydrator - Botanical Pyrethrin Powder

Demise Fire Ant & Insect Dehydrator is a powdered insecticide combining natural botanical pyrethrin with silicon dioxide desiccant action to rapidly kill fire ants, cockroaches, and over 30 additional insect species through contact dehydration. The fine white powder uses pyrethrin extract from chrysanthemum flowers for quick knockdown action while silicon dioxide physically drains moisture from insect bodies providing residual control lasting up to six months when undisturbed. This dual-action formula eliminates insects through both rapid botanical action and long-term desiccant dehydration making it effective for diverse pest control situations.

The pyrethrin component provides rapid contact kill flushing insects to aid complete elimination while silicon dioxide provides long-term desiccating action that continues to work as insects track through treated areas and carry powder back to nesting colonies. The formulation contains piperonyl butoxide synergist enhancing pyrethrin effectiveness. The EPA-registered powder is ready-to-use requiring only dispersion in puffer bottles or dusting equipment for application to ant mounds, cockroach harborages, and treated surfaces. Individual quart bottles in the six-pack case provide convenient application and storage for food service facilities, warehouses, institutional buildings, and outdoor pest control operations.
