DiaSource® Grain Storage Insecticide
Protecting The Future Of Our Families and Environment By Providing a Safer Alternative To Hazardous Pesticides

Public Awareness is Driving Change in Consumer Attitude.

Warnings that children and family pets are overexposed to chemically toxic pesticide products have caused the general public to become more
interested in seeking safer least-toxic alternatives and has increased concerns regarding periodic pesticide treatments to their homes, which
have been the previous norm.

Over 90% of American households use pesticides. The consumer has become more aware that the widely used commercial chemically
synthesized insecticides are composed of highly dangerous, toxic chemicals that end-up accumulating on carpets, on floors, in pet bedding
and on children’s clothing. This realization has become a force for change in consumer’s attitudes. In addition, the delisting of many pesticide
products by the EPA has caused the $12 billion pesticide industry to remove many of the toxic products. The EPA has mandated major
reductions in previously allowed pesticides in the U.S. They have also imposed substantial restrictions on residue levels in pesticides
previously allowed in products used in home pesticide treatment











Public Awareness is Driving Change in the Consumer Attitude.





Warnings that humans and animals are overexposed to chemically toxic pesticide products has
caused the general public to become more interested in safer least-toxic alternatives to the common
hazardous pesticides used to protect our grains and food products from insects.

DiaSource is an especially high quality, effective and economic insecticide choice for the commercial
grain industry. It works, contains no toxic chemicals, leaves no objectionable residues, and contains
no additives or baits of any kind. It can be applied dry or in a slurry. DiaSource’s special qualities
and economics are presented over the course of this brochure.

How DE works: DE works totally by direct contact. The application technique and the quality of DE
used are crucial. Direct contact occurs when adult or larvae insects crawl through a treated area and
pick up dust on their outer waxy waterproofing layer, (epicuticle). The tiny DE particles absorb
moisture through the waxy epicuticle which protects insects from water loss. Insects rapidly lose
body fluids and die of dehydration as a result. Death usually occurs within 2 to 14 days after
exposure, depending on the insect species. Popular lore that DE kills by cutting insects with it’s
sharp edges is misinformation.

DiaSource enjoys a number of inherent advantages over both traditional chemical insecticides and
other DE products. A Product Comparison is naturally broken down into two components; versus
traditional chemical treatments and other DE’s.

Traditional and popular chemical treatments have proven effective for limited time periods, but
usually entail applicator and chemical residue health risks, special licensing requirements, and in
some cases, legislatively forced dilution restrictions. Some clearly appear to face eventual legislative
extinction.

EPA rules dictate that the active ingredients in chemical pesticides break down and basically
disappear within certain time periods, typically 60 to 120 days from date of application), simply
because they can leave chemical residues. DiaSource, which contains no toxic or other kinds of
synthetic chemicals, is as effective 5 years after application as it is the day it is applied. The dust
stays put. Health risks with DiaSource are negligible and no special licensing or application
requirements are required. DiaSource simply lasts longer and is safer than most stored grain
insecticides.
