and  Product Label Information

D-20 Insecticide Products  Insects are not built like higher forms of life. They do not have blood vessels, only a body cavity that holds fluid. If they lose as little as 10% of fluids, they die. DE helps them lose that vital 10% or more. Most insects have a “waxy” coating on the outside of their shell. The small DE particles puncture through the waxy coating, causing the insect to dehydrate and die! This is all physical, NOT CHEMICAL!

The second ingredient is Pyrethrin, a natural vegetable extract from a variety of Chrysanthemum flowers.

The third ingredient is Piperonyl Butoxide, another natural vegetable extract first discovered in Sassafras and pepper plants. It is used as a synergist to magnify the effects of Pyrethrin. A small amount of this is added to DE to add a quick killing, long lasting insecticide that is a very effective alternative to conventional chemicals.

    D-20 – Packaged as Household Insecticide, Pet & Animal Product, Commercial Insecticide, and Fire Ant Product (Has 0.02 percent Pyrethrum). Can be applied wet or dry.

    D-21 – Packaged as Garden and Plant Product (Has 0.01 % Pyrethrum). For gardens, plants and hydroponics to kill insects. Apply wet or dry.

       HOUSEHOLD - The Household formula is effective against roaches, silverfish, ants, flies, bedbugs, fleas, box elder bugs, etc. in the home. Comes in one, five and 30 pound bags. Locate the area of infestation and lightly dust the cross paths of the insects. The powder sticks to insects as they come in contact with the product. Small microscopic spikes penetrate their exoskeleton thereby distributing the microscopic particles through their digestive organs. This causes death in a short time through dehydration. The average time for an insect to be immobilized is five to ten minutes. Application instructions

 
     GARDEN & PLANT - The Garden and Plant formula is useful to protect plants against a vast number of insects as listed on the label whether around the home or in the fields. It can be used on food crops even on the day of harvest. This is commonly used as an under the leaf system. Outdoors, depending on the size of your garden, Apply lightly dusting the vegetation and leaf system. Water will wash away the product but the residue will remain active. Best applied while plants are dry. Can be applied the same day as harvest and it will not harm human or animal life. Application instructions

     PET & ANIMAL - The Pet & Animal formula is effective against fleas, tics, and lice on animals. Instructions on the label should be followed to make certain of effectiveness. Should also be applied to animal sleeping areas. Brush or rub into the dander of the coat and apply liberally as the thickness of the fur requires. Look for results and brush or bathe your pet as necessary to remove any dead fleas or tics. Be sure to treat pets sleeping areas as insects will live there waiting for the pet to return. Reapply after bathing on dry fur as a preventative. Use as often as necessary. A light residue does remain until area is washed or vacuumed.

What you want to do with DE is apply a very light coating. If you are applying it in a way that you are kicking up visible dust, you are putting WAY too much down.

     FIRE ANT - The Fire Ant formula kills Fire Ants and a great many other insects. Use wet or dry according to the instructions on the label. Locate the area of infestation and dust the cross paths of the ants. Locate nest if possible and dust liberally around the opening. See also:  Fire Ants Kill the Queen.

 Safe for use Indoors/Outdoors, Wet or Dry, Green Houses, and Same Day Harvest

Perma-Guard Insecticide Application Instructions:

Perma-Guard Household Insecticide can be applied using any equipment to handle dust or powder, whether it be hand or power operated.

Roaches and Silverfish
*In most cases, general application is not needed, but one needs to give localized attention to cracks and crevices, under stoves and refrigerators, and in likely hiding places. Be sure to treat around sinks and drain pipes.
*If there is an opening into the sewer line, blow a considerable amount of product into the line. Being closed, air pressure forces the dust further down the line, coating the upper half of the pipe, leaving no safe place for roaches. This protection exists as far as the line is coated.

Ants
*Dry Powder: Stir the mound with a rake or other tool, agitating the ants. Apply Perma-Guard Household Insecticide dust liberally on the immediate area, contacting as many ants as possible. Repeat if needed for final results.
* Wet Application: Use one-half scup of Perma-Guard Household Insecticide with one tablespoon of a mild detergent per gallon of water. Saturate the mound or bed with the entire gallon of mixture. Repeat if necessary.

Bedbugs-click here

Carpet Beetles

Thoroughly dust along baseboards, carpet edges, under furniture, carpet, and rugs, and in closets and shelving.

Crickets, Scorpions, and Box Elder Bugs
Lightly dust areas around windows, doors and other places where pests may enter.

Fire Ants (also see Fire Ants- "Killing the Ants, Get the Queen")

Fleas
* Animal Application: Apply Perma-Guard Household Insecticide liberally to all parts of animal, close to skin.
* Rugs: Make a thin coating on the rug. Rake (not sweep) nap back and forth, causing dust to enter the rug. Leave overnight. When cleaning, do not make a special effort to remove the dust in the rug. It will kill live fleas, repel others, and will deodorize the carpet.

Flies
Lightly coat window sills so flies lighting will contact the dust. If the outside walls of the house, shrubbery, outbuildings (such as barns, stables, kennels or corrals) are dusted, flies are greatly reduced. Repeat if needed. Thoroughly dust areas where flies frequent (walls, straw bedding, livestock pens). It also can be applied to livestock coat as an insect repellent/contact insecticide.

Outside Area
Apply 8 to 16 oz. of dust per 1000 sq. ft. of the yard. Two or three applications per year should do the job. This can be done as dry dust or as wettable powder, using suitable equipment.

Perma-Guard Household product is licensed to be used in for pest control and around the home, yard, animal housing, etc. It can be applied as a dry dust, or mixed with water at the rate of 2 oz. per quart and sprayed as a liquid.

Plant and Garden Pesticide

For control of aphids, whitefly, beetles, loopers, mites, leaf hoppers, adult flea beetles, sawfly, coddling moth, twig borer, thrips, mites, cockroach, slugs, snails, earwigs, silverfish, and ants. Can be used for bedbugs, cabbage root flies, carrot root flies, fleas, pillbugs, ticks and is helpful in dealing with fungus gnats.  For use in the greenhouse or outdoors on fruits, vegetables, flowers, grains and grass--up to and including day of harvest.

Dry Application

The goal is to get coverage over the entire plant, especially under the leaves. For young plants, as little as two pounds per acre may be adequate. For larger plants, five lb/acre is probably sufficient. With extra growth, it might be necessary to increase the amount. An examination of the leaves will tell if the leaf bottom is covered.
Applicator:
A good dust applicator is essential, and should be equipped with electronic nozzles, which put a negative charge on the dust. The plant being positive, attracts the dust making for a better coverage even ion leaf bottom. Also see Applicators as another option for applying.

Wet Application

The same rates per acre apply when using as a water and  powder mixture. Adding water is merely a means of using existing spray equipment and can be used by making a thin slurry of DE and water. This method can you give precise coverage and when it dries the DE goes to work better than when it is wet. A slurry can also be used as a "paint" on tree trunks to discourage insects and to give sunscald protection to the bark. A slurry paint may also be useful in deterring borers from laying eggs on bark.

Mixing Instructions:

For Fruit Trees:

We use 8 oz per Gallon  or 2 1/2 lbs per Acre and find it to be very effective.

Minimum: 1 lb. to 2 gals. water
Maximum: 1 lb. to 25 gals. water

The purpose is to get a solution that will flow easily through the nozzle and still put the recommended amount of product per acre. Again, it is essential to get coverage on the underside of the leaf.
 

Garden and Yard Plants

The same specifications apply. Get coverage on top and bottom of leaf. Apply either wet or dry.
Applicators

A variety of units are available, from small hand held units, to backpacks. Some are capable of applying either wet or dry product

Application Rates:

1/2 pound will treat 200 to 250 square feet

1 pound will treat 400 to 500 square feet

5 pounds will treat 2,000 to 2,500 square feet. 

Pastures: Use 10 to 15 lbs. per acre (a little less on a very calm day).

Crops: Dust after a rain or after heavy dew to increase sticking of the powder. Dust plant upward from the ground, covering all stems, top and underside of leaves.

Rows: Use 4 lbs. per acre injected over seed.

Gardens: 3 lbs per acre. Mixing instructions on the bag.

Enclosed Areas: Use 1/2 to 3/4 lb. per 1000 sq. ft. Hang dust bags in doorways of barns.

Lawn and Garden: Sprinkle in areas where insects are present.
