Take your property back from FIRE Ants.

- it works, takes the place of conventional chemicals which lose their effectiveness as the insect adapts to the chemicals.

Made from pure Diatomaceous Earth and Natural Pyrethrum

Kills bugs by physical action, not chemical so bugs cannot become immune.
Easy to use and does not require professionals.
Even after the pyrethrum is gone Diatomaceous Earth is still highly repellent.

A word about chemical pesticides failure.

Fire ants arrived in the US, stowed away on a ship around the year 1940 in Mobile, Alabama. Ever since they have exploded and expanded their range about 50 miles a year and appear in at least 24 states.

Millions of dollars have been spent trying to eradicate these nasty biting ants by using chemicals. All chemicals proved fruitless and a failure over time. Insects have the amazing ability to adapt to any chemical or pesticide no matter how toxic it is to humans or other animals. They actually change themselves genetically so the chemicals are harmless-to them, not us. There was a scientific experiment done that showed that the fruit fly adapted so well that it couldn't survive without DDT in its diet. After years of using pesticides to control insects, one thing became clear-No insect has ever made the endangered list, yet our agricultural insect problems are 40 times worse than in 1940.

Diatomaceous earth and natural pyrethrum. How does it work? The short answer:

• Diatomaceous earth kills insects by dehydration (by removing their body fluids). Perma-Guard insecticide reduced a 3-inch hornworm to 1-1/8 inched in 4 hours by dehydration. Hard-shelled insects can’t shrink, but they “Dry” to death just the same.

• Pyrethrum (an extract from a type of chrysanthemum flowers) acts as a nerve irritant, making the bug more active, causing the dehydration process to work much faster.

The combination of the two is very effective on the fire ant, killing every ant on top of the ground in ten minutes. They dehydrate very quickly, and roll up into a tiny ball.

Our products do not use strong poisons or experimental chemicals to kill insects, they kill “mechanically”. They cut, and puncture the insects exoskeleton and drain their vital fluid. Because of this, we have never heard of any insects being able to develop immunity to our products as they do to chemical insecticides. In fact, insects are developing immunity to traditional insecticides at an alarming rate today. Because our products kill mechanically, we believe that our products are the best and surest option for killing insects.

The product can be applied as a dust or can be mixed with water. Watch the nest for activity. One treatment may be enough, but if the queen was not killed, another application may be needed.

See 'Killing the Ants!' for detailed instructions for complete elimination of the nests using Perma Guard
