INSECTICIDES

Perma-Guard is one of the oldest producers of a line of natural insecticides using this same diatom because of it's shape. These diatoms are tubular with tiny holes and are very hard. The deposit from which Perma-Guard draws the DE for our formulated products was partially chosen for the consistency of the diatoms in the deposit and its purity of unwanted sediment. Salt water deposits have many different types of diatoms present and they are fragile. If the diatoms are not the correct shape and are fragile or the deposit contains clay or other unwanted sediment it is not as effective in an insecticide formulation.
Perma-Guard's insecticides kill by physical action, not chemical. First by being abrasive to the insects exoskeleton and absorbing its body fluids, thus posing no harm to warm-blooded life. The addition of Pyrethrum and Piperonyl butoxide is to irritate the bug, causing the bug to become active, allowing the DE to work more quickly. As the Pyrethrum and Piperonyl butoxide becomes inactive after three months once applied these products do not contain persistent chemicals harmful to the environment and to higher forms of life, to which insects become immune -- it is a natural insecticide. Perma-Guard products are a much needed revolution for pest control. These products are certain death to insects. Moreover, on any surface, these natural pesticide products have a remarkable repellency factor. As long as it is present, insects tend to stay away, making a serious infestation unlikely. Also, the more it is used, the more an environment is created that tends to make insects feel unwelcome.
