Insectosec® powder is composed of a powder of fossilized marine micro-algae: Kieselguhr (otherwise called diatomaceous earth). No transformation was made to arrive at the finished product. This diatom is thus extracted directly from quarries.

This insecticidal powder acts by contact. Its fine crystalline structure causes lesions on the chitin (main component of the cuticle of insects and certain larvae), leading to their dehydration after 2 to 3 days.

This insecticide has a mechanical action and will be particularly effective in controlling crawling insects. It is odorless, can be used both indoors and outdoors (however, beware of showers and ambient humidity).

This insecticidal powder is effective against most crawling insects such as fleas, bed bugs, spiders, cockroaches, red lice, beetles, ants... The list can be long... In fact, all crawling insects are concerned.

+ Long-term protection of treated areas,
+ Effective natural insecticide against all crawling insects
+ Odorless and unprocessed
+ 100% natural and ecological certified Organic Farming
+ a product authorized and classified biocide TP18 (insecticide powder)
+ Harmless to pets

Insects such as red lice (strongly present in poultry farms), but also crawlers: woodlice, ants, etc. are covered with powder or are sprinkled during application.

The substance acts on the outer protective layer of the insects, causing them to dry out and then die after a few hours.

Tip : Diatomaceous earth is very effective against bed bugs: surround the legs of the bed with diatomaceous earth, also sprinkle the area between the mattress and the box spring. For maximum effectiveness, also dust carpets, bedroom corners and around furniture legs.

Put powder on the places of passage and the hiding places of the pests. Use this product indoors (baseboards, cracks, bed legs, animal sleeping areas) and outdoors (patios, pool slabs). Apply 5 g/m² (i.e. a strip 0.5 to 2 cm wide by 2 mm high) around the areas to be protected. Re-apply diatomaceous earth monthly if needed. Do not use in rainy weather. At low temperatures or when the air is humid, the effect of Insectosec® may be delayed by 1 to 2 days.

The application is to be repeated after dispersion of the spilled powder. Monthly if needed or when powder is too wet.

Silicium Dioxide/Kieselguhr* (CAS No. 61790-53-2): 100% Diatomaceous Earth. TP 18 - Insecticidal powder

*Silicium Dioxide/Kieselguhr is composed of sharp algae fossils, (also called Diatomaceous Earth), an amorphous (non-crystalline) form of silica that occurs in nature.

This Insectosec® diatomaceous earth from the Aries brand has obtained marketing authorization for biocides (AMM). This authorization is issued by the competent authorities, following the scientific evaluation of the efficacy and the risks of the biocidal product linked to its use. Today, thanks to this MA, Aries guarantees that the diatomaceous earth used in their product is effective on all crawling insects because these tests were carried out on the cockroach: the most resistant insect. The procedure for obtaining an MA is very long and costly, which obviously has repercussions on the price per kilo of the active substance. Hence a significant price difference per kilo between this diatom classified as biocidal and a non-biocidal diatom.
